Дети Хурина

The story's somber tone and focus on inevitable fate made me wonder if Tolkien intended to explore the darker aspects of heroism and destiny.

While the world-building is incredible, I’m curious if Tolkien’s choice to include so much lore was meant to immerse or to challenge the reader’s patience.

Húrin’s tragic fate raises questions about agency in a seemingly predetermined world—did this make the story more impactful or a bit too bleak?
