Who is Morwen? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Morwen, who definately should not be in the movies, was the mother of Turin Turambar in the First Age. You would only recognize her name if you had read the Silmarillion. She has a very heart wrenching story. Her son (Turin) leaves her at a fairly young age to go in search of help from Thingol, the king of Doriath. Eventually, she travels in search of him with her daughter, but reaches thingol and finds him newly departed. She eventually goes looking again, but is then put under some sort of enchantment by Glaurung, the first dragon. She eventually finds her way, and meets her long lost husband Hurin minutes before her death. The story is one of the greatest of Middle-Earth, and is much more complex than I have described it here. READ THE SILMARILLION!!!!!
