Who is your favorite Lord of the Rings character and why? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think the question should be why do you like every character, instead of who is your favorite. maybe someone will start a thread like that, or if there is one you guys could lead me to it.

Honestly i havent ever given it a lot of thought. i have always like Legolas bc he can snipe people and all that stuff. but that isnt a very good reason. you should admire someone based on their qualities and actions. now that i have given a little thought ( if i would give it more i would prolly come up with a different answer) i must say that Sam and Faramir are my favorite. Sam because he is the perfect example of what a true friend is. he is loyal, brave, and just a great friend. when Frodo was in trouble he was there to save him. in the movie i really see what Faramir was thinking and everything. if it was all true about his dad liking Boromir better, and that wasnt just someting added to the movies, i can see how Faramir would be tempted to take the ring back and win the approval of his father, but he realized the danger of everything and let Frodo go even though that would mean that Denethor would still not like him, if he didnt become angier. they both must deal with moral and emotional issues more than just the fighting.

im sorry this is so long but i got started and couldnt stop.

I have three favorites; Galadriel, Gandalf and Boromir. They're just such lovely personalities. And Boromir is the most human (if you understand) character in the whole story.
