if Beren had sat in Hurin's chair he would have defied Morgoth for twice as long.

This is just a quick note because I must be brief.
Beren was in a state of despair after the death of Finrod when he was a prisoner of Sauron.
He hadn't even been tortured yet! Bother the fact of being in Morgoth's presence.

Defying Morgoth to his face is arguably the single bravest act in the whole Silmarillion.

Indeed! Performed by the Greatest Man that ever lived!
