Laurie ForbesSome who have posted here apparently mistook fairness and an interest in learning for wimpishness, even though we get to see quite a bit of Faramir's decisiveness and valour in battle. It's the Dirty Harry mentality doing its evil work.
You've seen someone diss *Faramir*??? I like him very much - in an "I'd like to know him or be like him" way
- and also Pippin, as you blabbed above. For characters who live and breathe as a "technical skills" (on Tolkien's part) accomplishment, I choose Denethor. I also like theglimpse
of Imrahil.Agree about the masterly resentation of Denethor. And I like Imrahil. (I also think it's a beautiful name.)
For surprises, I can't believe how many people here choose Gimli as their favorite, or at least put him in the list somewhere.Hey, don't trask Gimli! He's one of my favourite characters too.
