Tragic flaw of the Hurin family

[Mithadan]

All true. My post was in response to William's in which he states "Morgoth really, totally won." My response is simply, "of course he won." In a sense, this relates to my post above regarding "unati." It was not possible, within Arda, for the Children of Iluvatar to successfully make war against and defeat one of the Valar. While the pride and willfulness of Turin and Morwen were certainly factors that Morgoth took advantage of, at the end of the day the family could not evade the curse. One way or another the curse would come home to roost.
