Grief and mourning (or a lack of them) serve to draw attention toward and away from objectionable actions committed by characters.

"...for none of the Eldalië ever hated Melkor more than Fëanor son of Finwë, who first named him Morgoth; and snared though he was in the webs of Melkor's malice against the Valar he held no converse with him and took no counsel from him."
