30 Days First Age of Arda Challenge17- How did you feel about the end of the story of Húrin’s family? Okay so. It’s a tragedy. Sad ending. I get it. I know how these go. I’ve read it before in The Silmarillion and recently reread it in The Children of Húrin. I knew what I was getting myself into. I was prepared.I cried explosively. I turned to the last page, read about Morwen and Húrin’s reunion over the grave of their children, and Morwen asks Húrin what happened—and he knows, because he saw everything, Morgoth made sure of that—and he just does not answer her—because he doesn’t want to tell her all the horrible things he was made to witness—and so she dies not knowing, maybe a last small mercy. And then I burst into tears.Art by Alan Lee. -- source link
