Does anyone have any suggestions for how Faramir's character can be redeemed without massive editing of TTT<P>How about, Faramir meets Pippin in Minas Tirith and they have a little heart to heart.<BR>Faramir tells Pippin about how he tried to bring Frodo to Gondor.<BR>Faramir (slightly emotionally) says<BR>"I did it only to, for once, receive my father's praise. For once to step from my brother's shadow."<BR>At this he hastily adds <BR>"Though I bore Boromir no ill will, I deem that my father would rather have his elder son by his side now and myself beneath turf"<P>And if this makes Denethor seem like to much of a bad guy (Oh heaven forbid) then he could really play faramir's bedside scene emotionally.<P>Well what do you think? Do ye have any suggestions for rebuilding Faramir's shattered role.
