Since there is a topic for Boromir and there is a topic for Denethor I thought i would make one about Faramir. So what does everyone think of him? Do you like his character? share your thoughts here.

I really like Faramir. He reminds me of my hubby. He has such definate good morals and values. I haven't yet met someone who doesn't like or admire him.

Yes, if we're going to play favorites, then I suppose Faramir is my favorite character in The Lord of the Rings. He possesses many qualities that I particularly admire in people whom I meet in real life: intelligence, morality, honor, compassion, temperance. However, I recall writing in another post [EDIT: "Who's Your Favourite Human"] that Faramir is especially fascinating because of his subtleties and flaws. But considering it now, I'm not so sure I agree. He can be passive, yes; he can be idealistic, yes; but the "flaws" I listed seem to add to his appeal as a character, rather than seeming like real, human flaws (such as Boromir's ambition, or Denethor's pride). I'm hoping that it's just been too long since I read the books, and in the time since I've just transformed Faramir into a more ideal figure than the text would suggest. I'd be interested to hear other opinions on the matter: Do you think Faramir has any real flaws? Or do you think that a lack of flaws not neccessarily mean a lack of subtlety; that Faramir is still a good character in spite of having no visible faults?

I think I have a lot of compassion for him (despite him killing Orcs) because he's not....well, given recognition in the way Boromir's given by his father. It's upsetting, because it's clear that Faramir is just as deserving of it as Boromir; Denethor plays favorites to an extreme. >__<
