It just occurred to me that in JRRT's version, Hurin's suicide could very well be seen as having a heroic element; for in this way he finally ends Morgoth's control over him and ensures that no more evils will be wrought by him unwittingly. Indeed, he proves his words to Morgoth 28 years before: "Beyond the Circles of the World you shall not pursue those who refuse you."

That is realy good point! It gives even more sense to Húrins daeth than only dispair when releasing what he had done. Now he realse what he had done and that he was used by Morgoth in a cunning way. And than he cries out: "You will no longer make use of me! There is a way for me to leave your domion for ever. I will go to the one that created us both. He shall judge me know - and you later!" (That's is clearly overdone - but it shows the direction.)
