In the novel The Children of Húrin by JRRTolkien, the main theme is the “painful consequences of war”. These consequences are depicted through the betrayal of allies, the loss of friends and relatives, and the death of their friends. This novel reveals the tragic life of Túrin, son of Húrin, who lost his father in a battle of "Nirnaeth Arnoediad" (Tolkien, 56), The Battle of Countless Tears, lost his mother and sister due to leaving for the castle of the elves. Menegroth, lost his friends to their murder, and ultimately killed himself because he could not bear the guilt and pain of his actions. Therefore, all this evidence shows that the theme of this novel is the painful consequences of the war between the powers of Morgoth, "Elder King" (Valar God) (64) and armies of elves and men. The tragic story of Túrin Turambar and his family begins with the capture of his father Hurin. After the defeat in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, Morgoth's powers captured Húrin and brought him to Morgoth's stronghold, Angband. “Therefore the Orcs seized Húrin with their weapons; and their number was always renewed, until he fell buried beneath them. Then Gothmog (captain of the orcs) bound him and dragged him to Angband in mockery” (60). After arriving in Angband, Húrin taunts Morgoth, "Blind you are, Morogth Bauglir (The Binder), and blind you will always be, seeing only the darkness" (62). Morgoth is enraged by this and curses Húrin's line: “But over all those you love my thought will weigh like a cloud of doom, and will bring them into darkness and despair. Wherever they go, evil will arise. Whenever they speak, their words will bring bad advice. Whatever they do will turn against them. They will die without hope, cursing both life and death... middle of paper... the "ism", in this novel, is reflected through the stone throne on which Morgoth places Húrin as punishment for his mockery , “He (Morgoth) placed him (Hurin) in a stone chair on a high place in Thangorodrim (Mountains of Tyranny), from which he could see in the distance the land of Hithlum to the west and the lands of Beleriand to the south. Morgoth standing beside him cursed him again and gave him his power, so that he could not move from that place, nor die, until Morgoth should deliver him” (65). So, the stone throne depicts pain, suffering, torment, torture, pain and inevitable agony. The stone throne also symbolizes the punishment one receives if one defies God. Therefore, JRRTolkien uses the symbolism of the throne in this novel to show that one should not defy God otherwise he will be punished and to show that one's wrongdoings will lead to his eternal suffering and inevitable..
