Húrin's end...
I don't really like the way Húrin's life ended.
I mean, I always admired him for his defying Morgoth and refusing to fall under his thraldom, and so I think it's pretty disappointing how Húrin died. We don't get any clear details on Húrin's death, but obviously he drowned himself because of great sorrow. This means he ended his own life because of Morgoth's doings, and I find this very bad in line with Húrin's character. Morwen didn't kill herself, she just laid down and went with the sun; so why did Húrin the Steadfast take his own life? I highly prefer the version when he walks back to Hithlum and eventually dies from age; this at least means he still defies Morgoth and clings to his life no matter what.
