Sting Feanor's presence in Cirith Ungol

This struck me. Why is there such a srong presence of Feanor there - There is the light from the glass, the light of the Silmaril borne by Earendel, but there's also the Ring - the inscription is in the Tengwar of Feanor. Is this just a coincidence?. The two symbols, of good & of evil, which Frodo carries, have such strong links with Feanor. His works are used by both Galadriel & Sauron, & they both end up in the hands of Frodo in that moment. Is Tolkien making a point, or am I reading too much into it?
