There's one thing I keep forgetting to mention, even though it's like the most important argument of all. I think that just the fact that Turin makes the wrong decisions (from the readers perspective, as well as what they turn out to be in the future) all the time is enough reason to find pity for him.

Inzil, on the other hand, uses that reason to say the opposite.
