her [Niënor's] Germanic counterpart, Sieglinde, in Wagner's Die Walküre: his Siegmund (who, like Túrin, has disguised himself under an alias) sings the praises of the metaphorical sibling incest of Spring and love, but it is Sieglinde who recognizes him and maneuvers him into the real thing,. They bring the treasure, including the dwarves' necklace, the Nauglamír, to Doriath; they insult Thingol by giving the necklace as payment for his care of Húrin's kin. A Chat with Satan: Húrin is captured and dragged in chains before Morgoth, who demands the location of Gondolin. The trip to Nargothrong ends with Morwen lost in Glaurung's mist and Niënor under a dragon-spell, an orc raid separates him from the amnesiac Niënor, and he ends up unknowingly giving Túrin the confirmation of Brandir's words that drives him to kill himself.

Scholars have identified multiple themes in the tale, including evil, free will, predestination, heroism, courage, and the noble outlaw in the wilderness.

Thingol completely forgives Túrin for accidentally killing Saeros and sends Beleg to bring him back to Doriath with honor. Andróg, who was a prominent member of the group, mistrusted Beleg even after Túrin declared him a friend and begrudged him Túrin`s friendship.

T 4] He explained his editorial function as "presenting my father's long version of the legend of the Children of Húrin as an independent work, between its own covers, with a minimum of editorial presence, and above all in continuous narrative without gaps or interruptions, if this could be done without distortion or invention". Túrin's decision to build a bridge at Nargothrond which enables the invasion by Morgoth's forces resembles the character Byrthtnoth from The Battle of Maldon. Tolkien’s son, who has spent his life compiling and publishing his father’s work, released The Children of Húrin.The last part of the story (published as "the Wanderings of Húrin"), a text which was found to be too different in style from the rest of the Silmarillion, but which continues the Narn past Túrin's death and ends with Húrin's eventual release and the bad deeds which come from that (read in The War of the Jewels, part 11 of the History of Middle-earth series). Hate Sink: Saeros is a racist Elf in King Thingol's court who resented the presence of Túrin as a ward of Thingol. Finduilas, daughter of Orodreth, fell in love with him, but he avoided her because she had previously been the beloved of his friend Gwindor. Túrin being exiled from Doriath, the Orcs attacking Amon Rhud and killing all the outlaws except for Túrin, Beleg finding Túrin, only to be killed by him, and the fall of Nargothrond to the Orcs.

She preferred the forest and was never comfortable in the caves of Menegroth, and as Túrin got older and spent more time there they grew apart, though she would secretly watch him whenever he ventured into the forest with Beleg. Certain aspects related to Húrin following the story are left out but do get brought up in the follow up Beren and Lúthien, as does extended story for Mîm and his curse of the gold of Glaurung, and its relevance to the fall of Doriath, and corruption of the Dwarves and others who touch it. The mound they were buried beneath survived the War of Wrath and Tol Morwen was the westernmost isle off the coast of Lindon in the Second and Third Ages. Finally, Morgoth let him go because he realized that he would never get anything from Húrin willingly. When the latter sits on the elf's seat in Thingol's hall, Saeros assumes it was out of spite when in truth it was just an honest mistake from a warrior who was too exhausted and battleworn to worry about proper decorum.An alternate interpretation of Túrin's revelation mirrors that of his father's in the Silmarillion, that all that he had seen was twisted by the malice and might of Morgoth, and so as if blind, he stumbled through life. Andróg, Túrin's Lancer, is a Nominal Hero, a convicted murderer who crosses the Moral Event Horizon early on by attempting to rape a woman and subsequently killing Mîm's son. Yank the Dog's Chain: Túrin finally finds some measure of peace living in Brethil with his wife Niënor, thinking that all of his misfortune and woe is finally behind him. Then Morgoth laughed, for now by the Dragon-helm was Húrin's son revealed to him again; and ere long Amon Rûdh was ringed with spies. Later he ambushes Túrin and tries to kill him; Túrin turns the tables on him and chases him through the forest, only to accidentally cause his death when Saeros tries to jump over a ravine but falls to his death.
