man, turin coulda defeated morgoth if he kept his pride in check

[bshieldsbb01]

That's one opf my favourite aspects of this story:

Was it Morgoth's curse that brought Turin down, or his own pride and hubris?

[Hektor88]

as a fan of Greek tragedies, The Children of Hurin is up there with the Oresteia, Oedipus, Medea, and all the rest. TOlkien is in the same league as Aeschylus as far as i am concerned.

[joseport123456789]

If not into a movie, The Children of Húrin could be ultimately turned into a greek tragedy, since it has so many resemblances with the classical plays. We could do some kind of cooperative work?...

@Pesaberhimil : Actually Turin was "physically" defeated when the Orcs overwhelmed him @ the dwarf's secret

hideout. The Orcs had turned Turin into their "bitch" so much so, that when his elf-friend released him in the

dark, Turin was so dehumanized that he killed his friend instantly without even thinking about how he "freed".

turin will redeem himself and all mankind when in the final battle he finally slays morgoth with anglachel

Really sad story. Touched me to my very soul.

[Boomerang153]

I love Turin and the entire story of the Children of Hurin but it's the saddest thing ive ever read in my entire life!

[LordAzanko]

@namekman01 he will defeat morgoth in the end in the battle of battles turin will slay him

[wacmac1]

NARN I HIN HURIN, so beautiful, yet so full of woe

[hanshome1982]

Always when reading the story of Turin I feel incredibly sad, but also inspired by his will and courage... He is my no.1 hero from everything Tolkien ever wrote.

@bshieldsbb01 Couldn't it have been both? Or part of the curse be Túrin's own pride? I always think of it that way. I mean, 'cause if you don't see it that way then Túrin's pride was all to blame, he wouldn't have left doriath otherwise. I think Morgoth was powerful enough to do that, only with his own evil will. Not even Húrin was so proud, yet he was a mightier warrior than Túrin.
