What was the result of him doing so? I would say my favorite are the sons of Bor. Being all swarthy of color and all.

Beren is my favourite human character, although Tuor’s fate was much better, compared with him, and Turin and Hurin.

Turin is my my favourite human. He just kept going. Bad fortune but a great worrier.

In my opinion, Beren was a bit insufferable. I can't remember any time where he ACTUALLY did anything without the aid of Luthien, apart from maybe, his attack on Celegorm and Curufin.
His "quest" would have ended right at its very beginning if it hadn't been for his ridiculously incredible luck (or "fate" as Tolkien would have put it)!

And I liked Haleth. Although she didn't really do a lot to sway the fate of the Jewels, she kicked arse.

![]() Even though he was a bit short sighted at times, killed Beleg, impregnated his own sister among other things i still reckon he was the best. Hurin wasnt bad either.

![]() Hmmm. Let me see. Favorite human character in the Silmarillion. That's a tough one. Umm, err, hmmmmm. I know!. Tuor! (Well, after all, if he had ticked off Elemmakil and gotten to Gondolin the future of Middle Earth would have been rather darker (for starters, no Strider, Arwen, or Agent Smith). ![]() P. S. I'm still working on a signature. P.P.S Also still looking for a message icon and figuring out how to customize paste one. P.P.P.S. I didn't know about P.S. addings until reading the Lord of the Rings (in the last milennium). |

Got to be Hurin for me too. He seemed like a titanic figure compared to the rest of his race.
I haven't read enough about Tuor to give him any consideration. Quote:

I think Hurin would be my favorite ''human'' character from the Silmarillion. Whenever I reread his tragic tale I am reminded of both Heracles and Samson.

I liked Beren, but I have to say that Tuor also was a good Atan to like.

Beren, Tuor, and Hurin, in that order, are my current favorites.

It's got to be Thalion the Steadfast, the Great Hero. He faced Morgoth face to face and never flinched. Could Beren had withstood Morgoth that way?
No. Thalion the Steadfast it is.
