I like Faramir a lot, and there are great qualities in him, but is still believe Aragorn is the man.
He's seen many dark things, and yet that didn't take away from his carrying heart. Just look at the care he shows the hobbits! It's just soooo touching! He literally ran non-stop to save the lives of Merry and Pippin!
He's beyond selfless, something I have yet to see in any other character (except maybe Sam).
He's trustworthy and loyal, and one of the most upstanding characters in the entire series! Not to mention his love and loyalty to Arwen just rises him even higher. I mean, who doesn't want a man like that!
I mean you have to say that Faramir did the same. He game up his honor, and he said his life was forfeit because he let Sam and Frodo and Gollum walk free.
And he refused to let his father imbitter his relationship to Boromir; a serious feat of brotherhood and virtue.
And his love and care for the lady Eowyn. Honestly they are my opt. The Steward and the King is my go to comfort read.
I'm on day three of zero-little sleep and day two of forgetting to take my meds. I can now taste colors.
Take your meds and sleep before I come and nicely ask you after kicking your front door down.
Okay sir/ma'am have a nice day sir/ma'am.
I would say that Aragorn and Faramir would disapprove of this comparison entirely for they are both great men . But let's be real Aragorn isn't really of Gondor, He takes up the kingship but he doesn't have the same ties to that Faramir would have. Now I know someone is going to bring up the years he spent serving Steward Ecthelion II but even then I don't think he had the same connection to the kingdom. He spent his early years in Lands inhabited by Elves, He protected the lands surrounding the Shire, He hunted Orc with the sons of Elrond and spent time serving the King of Rohan and Steward Ecthelion II. He is not a man of Gondor, He can't be a man of Only Gondor because he was not the king of Just Gondor.
Faramir on the other hand grew up in Gondor, he spent his life in service to the Kingdom with his Brother, He is a man of Gondor, who spent his entire life fighting for the City despite his dislike for fighting. So Aragorn may be the greater, not better, greater Man between the both of them but when it comes to the best man Of Gondor, it has to go to Faramir because Aragorn isn't Of Gondor.
So In short, You are both right, Aragorn is the man on a Macro level, but when we focus on Gondor, Faramir is the man.
Also we can all agree that Tolkien is the man and He thought that Faramir was a lot like himself so…..
Wait. I thought he made Tom Bombadil in his image? But it may be that he thought of his younger self as Faramir, and his older self Tom.
I think Tom is supposed to literally be him but He said out of all the Hero's of middle earth he was most like Faramir. In more of a , same thoughts and Ideals kind of way.
Does anyone else get superrrrrrr excited about other people's birthdays?? I got my friend her gift today and its so perfect i cant wait to give it to her!!!
im in such a good mood rn
Glad to hear you're in a good mood! Personally, I've never really gotten very excited about birthdays, though.
I am sadness. Elias and his family flew up to Oregon. And I am feeling sad.
They're spending New Year's with his mom's side of the family. And they don't want to see me yet. They're like uh we know Elias is engaged, but we want to see her at a later date. And I was like cool and his mom was like uh okay. So that's a new thing. But to be fair, his mom's brother, to which they are seeing has 7 kids and 2 parents, and 2 grandparents, and his family has 4 kids, and 2 parents. So I can understand. That's too many people.
I was thinking of getting Premium from here.
I encourage you to.
Oh my gosh.
I just realized.
I was going to say I was going to when I had the money.
But I have the money.
My mom is like "I don't know… How will you pay?", "Oh, This website looks sketchy". "Do you even have the money?" Answers are, Probably from her's and then I'll pay her back; It's not sketchy, I told her about this like,,, from when I first joined- ; and yes, I do.
