Pippin or Merry: Who is better? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I would have to say Pippin, because he is just a brilliant, brilliant character. But I do truly love both. It is very hard to choose one over the other, but it is just that Pippin is a much more memorable character for me. His scenes in Gondor with Denethor and Bergil are actually some of my favorites, because it shows so many parts of his personality, and how he deals with the battles, the coming and goings of the soldiers and Gandalf, and how he deals with difficult situations. While in Mitas Tirith he kind of takes the place of the reader, observing, and doing what a regular person would do if they were in an extraordinary situation like that one.
