| Ouch for Faramir. It's interesting (and painful) to imagine that he might have had the deck stacked against him from the very beginning, if Denethor had the famous Dunedain gift of foresight and somehow interpreted him as a threat to his beloved eldest son. Poor Denethor, too, for not being able to relax and just enjoy being a father. And thanks for the virtual goodies! What a nice surprise, and greatly appreciated. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I often wonder why DEnethor favoured Boromir and this was my attempt to think of a reason.I'm pleased you found it interesting. You are most welcome to the vitual gift.It is a small way to say thank you for all the hours of reading pleasure you have given me, | |

| The brother rejoices; the father fears what he foresees. Alas that Boromir proves the wiser in this case. Poor Faramir. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I was trying to think of a rason why Denethor so preferred his eldest son. | |

| I agree with you that Denethor may very well have been a better Father if his second child had been a daughter but, then, he may well have tried to coddle her too much poor girl! Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. Who knows what Denethor would have done with a daughter?I agree he might have been over protective. | |

| It seems to me that the gift of foresight would be a major source of pain, and in this case, it may have created years of trouble between father and son. Denethor wasn't an easy man to live with, but he had a hard time himself too. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I agree foresight would be difficult to live with. I don't much like Denethor but I feel sorry for this tragic complex man. | |
