What I never fully understood and what really plagued me about Faramir's character is that he decided to let Frodo and Sam go just moments after Frodo had deliberately and obviously offered up the One Ring to the Winged Nazgul. Does this make sense to anyone else? <P> I found that whole scene to be deplorable and unrealistic, as it would alter the entire plot if the Nazgul knew that Frodo carried the Ring (think about when he gets captured by the Orcs) and it would change the mindset of the Dark Lord knowing that the Ring was so close.
