Of Turin Turambar
Chapter 21 is my favorite of the entire book.
I enjoyed The chapter on Turin more in Unfinished Tales! |

Is it possible? Is there really someone out there who likes Turin Turambar except me?

Yes, I liked him. But then I'm known for taking side with the bad good-guys

I didn't like him at all. He was a bad evilish man., though he thought he's helping the good side. That's his problem.

Well, he wasn't an Elvish Man Radagast. He was just a Man, but there were times I liked Turin. I think I had more pity for him then like or dislike though.

Turin is my favourite male human character; see my profile. I just don't think Nienor and Turin shared a pure love.

I love the fact that Túrin did all this things to help people and he didn't mean to do any bad. That was just Morgoth's spell. He would have been a good man without the spell.

Hard to say. He was pretty willful. And I wouldn't say that he was working for the good of the people -- I always believed it was because he was driven to, due to the doom on the house of Hurin. *shrug* Guess I can't romanticise the story like you can.

Why was Morgoth out to get Hurin and his descendants? What harm had Hurin done to Morgoth that he and his family should be made to suffer so? I must have missed something in UT or the Sil...

Okay, I've got something to say, but I don't remember the names. Excuse me, I'll try it anyway.
Everybody says that Túrin should be with Findulias (I hope this is her name), but I thought she was together with another elf, which came back to Nargothrond with Túrin? So actually Findulias should be together with this elf.

i also enjoyed the chapters that detailed his life in the silamarillion, ut, and the lays of beleriand as well. he was cursed; when he did good, bad always seemed to follow. In my opinion, he was the most tangible and "human" character in all of Tolkien's writing.

After your good summary, Sister Golden Hair, I still have to say that Túrin not belonged to Findulias.

But then, maybe the dragon wouldn't be killed.
