| Raksha The Demon | Reviewed Chapter: 3 on 1/3/2007 |
| Wonderful chapter! Terrific comparison of Mithrandir to Tulkas; I loved that part in ROTK; it is one of the few times when Mithrandir reveals Maia-power, and it is for Faramir's sake that he does it. The conclusion of this chapter is extremely moving, with Faramir, chilled from the Black Breath, weathering his father's almost equally terrible bitterness. I think it was likely that Denethor resented Faramir for being alive when Boromir was dead; though I don't think Denethor specifically wanted Faramir to die (not unless he could have had Boromir alive in his stead). Author Reply: I wonder how much of Gandalf's real power and importance Faramir perceived, both before and after his 'rescue'. I don't think D. ever wanted Faramir dead, as such, except(as you so rightly say) that if he had to lose one son, he'd rather it was F. than B. Probably all parents, in the last ditch, would have some such preference. Deep down, after all, Denethor and Faramir love each other; it's just so horribly hard for them to show it. You explore this wonderfully well in some of your stories. | |
