Unfinished Tales - Part One - II - Narn I Hín Húrin

[Galadriel55]

The only difference I noticed so far between COH and UT was the addition of the Dragon-helm's history. Interesting facts.

Something about Turin that for some reason I did not mark in the chapter in the Sil:

Fear both the heat and the cold of your heart.

~per Melian

As always, Melian sees right through to the point. So many of Turin's misfortunes fell because these two moods replace on another very quickly.

After the lighthearted mood of Tuor and his Comming to Gondolin, the Narn seems to be even heavier and gloomier. But personally, unlike the majority, the latter appeals to me more. "Of Tuor..." lacks the depth of tragedy. No matter how beautiful the tale is, I always thought/felt that sad stories are much much much more deep, moving, and they just have some quality that happy stories don't.

I don't know if it's just me (it's entirely possible: my parents ask me why my piano repertoire that I get to choose is entirely minor and just sounds like a funeral, and I tell them that I can't play most major things with emotion, and sometimes playing major pieces makes me sick). My whole family prefers happy endings to stories, and I always go for the tragical ones. That might explain why I like COH / Narn so much.
