![]() No, I haven't changed my mind. I like Húrin because he was such a great warrior and because he showed such courage and stamina during his imprisonment by Morgoth. Tuor is great too, but he does not appeal to me like Húrin, maybe because his life is fairly easy. As for their seemingly difference in behaviour towards their wives, there is nothing indicating that Húrin was not as passionate towards Morwen before he went to the Nirnaeth. I don't think Húrin was the same man when he met Morwen again as he was when he left her all those years ago. Although being husband and wife they would probably seem like strangers to each other, both because they had been separated for so long, and because of the impact of Húrin's torment.

Of course, considering how Tuor acted towards Idril at the end of his life .... I've never understood that
![]() Still, I love all the little lines in FOG that refer to how smitten Tuor was with Idril. Tuor's the man for me! But right now I'm in an elvish mood - take me away, Fingon! [whisper]Fingon, sweetie, ya gotta dump that Arty gal! She's 4-timin' ya! Stick with me - you won't regret it! I'm the BEST of both worlds - human and elvish. My evil twin sister naiR got the worst of both kindreds. [/whisper] *whistles innocently*

![]() I imagine that Tuor had a happy childhood with Annael and the Grey-elves. Being rereaved of your parents when you're a toddler doesn't mar you for life. And I do think he was rather lucky compared to other main human characters in the Sil. He lived in bliss in Gondolin for many years, he had love and friendship, and the favour of Ulmo, and a great son.

Y'know, Nurv, I don't remember anyone claiming Beren yet - so far, he's all yours!
