Hin Hurin - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm starting this for something actually bothered me for a few months now. I re-read The Children of Hurin. And I must say: I'm in horror. Even if the children of Hurin did have fault of the blood, so to say, I must point out that...

THEY AREN'T THEIR FATHER!

Even Morgoth, as twisted as he is, should know this. He was created by Eru. Was he like Eru? No.

Few others he probably knew. Was Maeglin like his Mother? No.

No one is mirror image of their father or mother, not in looks and even lesser in spirit.

So, why? Why did Morgoth curse Hin Hurin, therefore losing one of his chances to learn information of Gondolin location?

But no, he rapidly cursed them (us) to death, therefore losing his chance for one of them (us) to tell him of Gondolin.

Three innocent lives were wasted... and he gained nothing. Except maybe his own twisted pleasure...

He was a fool and a sadist. Nothing more.

There. Got all of my anger out.
