He was only human. Everything he held dear was taken away. He was tormented beyond what you and I can comprehend (I presume). I think it's unfair to say that Morgoth defeated Hurin just because he managed to crush his heart. Any terrorist can accomplish what Morgoth did. Don't forget that Hurin was finally released having never compromised or pleaded for mercy.
Again I say, Hurin most assuredly conquered Morgoth.
Good topic, by the way.
