    Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking.

    Do you perhaps mean "should" where you put "shouldn't"? Are you transcribing your thought from a language that uses double negatives?

    It reads to me like Caranthir is commenting that the sons of Finarfin are acting too comfortable, not remembering that their welcome is limited and conditional. Commented Aug 23, 2022 at 14:12

    @CristobolPolychronopolis Sounds more like he's reminding them they are princes of the Noldor and not the servants of an Elf that didn't live in Valinor.

    I don't have the book with me, is it possible you misinterpret ? Maybe Caranthir does not say that Angrod has forgotten that Finarfin (his father) is a Noldor, but rather that Angrod has forgotten that Eärwen (his mother) is not. He would essentially be saying that Finarfin's children, being not 100% Noldor, are not fit to negociate anything with Thingol in the name of all the Noldors. I'm not sure if it's that or rather like @pboss3010 said the fact that they should serve the interests of the Noldor rather than bow to Thingol and accept his "given lands"
