faramir

I know i might be having a hot take. When i saw the movie i thought he was a good character. But the part in the book where he tells Eowyn to give up her old ways. I was thinking. WHAT?!!! But its only when i am older that i get it. And its honestly well written. In reality, i think Faramir...

The quote is from the book. In the movies we can only hear it being sung in Elvish as a tribute to the novel. The quote says: "I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend." In the movie...

Denethor II - Tolkien vs Jackson As there are extreme differences between how Peter Jackson portrayed Denethor II in his films vs how he was described in Tolkien's book. Many may only know the movie depiction of him as a hateful father, terrible ruler, and a disgusting slob. He wasn't anything...

There are some helpful diagrams and maps of Henneth Annun in Fonstad's Atlas of Tolkien's Middle Earth. Frodo is mysteriously woken up by Faramir in the middle of the night. Faramir wants Frodo to see the beauty of the full moon but there is another matter. Sam wakes up and follows on of...

There is not much action in this chapter but it is a substantial chapter nonetheless. Faramir, his Rangers, Frodo and Sam move from the circular pool to a secret hideout closer to the Anduin. The impression that the Rangers are a disciplined, well led and well organised force is reinforced as...

In Hammond and Scull's Reader Companion to the LOTR, H and S claim that Tolkien at some stage in the writing of the LOTR intended Aragorn and Eowyn to marry. If this had happened in the story, would Faramir and Arwen find true love elsewhere - in each other's arms maybe? Note that's not meant to...

( A short scene from sometime in the 4th age) Aragorn and Faramir having a conversation as they stand in hip-waders in the River Anduin... Aragorn: "Ah yes its nice to get away from the palace sometimes... all those screaming little girls..." Faramir: "Well, we have no offspring as yet. Eowyn...

Not that Faramir is literally Gaston, he is more noble on lots of aspects. But... just the idea of telling Eowyn to stop being a wild warrior and settle down. I like Faramir in the movie, but in the book he is kind of a jerk

I'm not sure we can say for certain that he'd have not caved like his brother (Boromir held out a long time against the temptation of the Ring before trying to seize it. He was with Frodo for a month or so (maybe more, cannot recall how much time passed, but they left sometime in winter from...

They spoke the language of Gondor (whatever that is), which Pippin didn't speak. From the book it seems to me that he figured out from the conversations around him what was going on. It's unlikely that he learnt the language so quickly.

Do you think Eowyn really love Faramir, or she just married the dude for convenience? Do you think that Faramir's pity towards Eowyn can really lead to loving her despite the fact that everybody (esp in Rohan after that PDA; crying at Dunharrow) knows she's longing for the chieftain of the...

can anyone remind me where faramir tells about his dream? in the extended version of ROTK, it's given to eowyn but now, returning to the books i can't seem to locate it and i've begun to think maybe it wasn't faramir who talked about it.... can anyone point me in the right direction? thanks

Hi all, I'd like an opinion on these two characters in interaction, but feel I first have to briefly outline the history of this issue as related to me. A couple of weeks (or even months :confused: ) ago, I got involved into a discussion triggered by a post at one of the forums. The author...

Something I didn't get, in the movies... Denethor sends Faramir (and what was left of the army at Osgiliath) back to re-take the city. Obviously, this is sending him to his doom. However, Faramir is the only one to make it back. His horse is dragging him, and he has a couple of arrows...

When Denethor thought Faramir was dead, do you suppose he was upset because Faramir was dead, or because he was the last surviving member of his house, that no one would carry on his genes and his name even if it were Faramir. You suppose if he really was upset that it was Faramir that was dead...

I've seen the movies...now reading the books...the only conclusion I can find is that he loved Borimir so much, and he is taking it out on his living son...also, Faramir didn't bring him the ring when he had the chance... Are these the only 2 reasons why Denethor goes off his rocker??? He...

Does anybody have any idea what Faramir's sword is called?

..............

i personally prefer Faramir. But my brother bums Boramir. so whos better?

Faramir son of Denethor: Captain of Gondor, Steward of Gondor, Prince of Ithilien Faramir was born To DenethorII, son of Ecthelion, Steward of Gondor and Finduilas, daughter of Prince Adrahil of Dol Amroth, in TA 2983 – the same year Samwise Gamgee was born; and five years after his brother...
