Gilthalion, Sharku, and the rest of you, excellent comments! I think the scenario presented whereby Faramir gives his life to save Aragorn his Lord from an event orchestrated by Denethor would have worked well. It is very reminiscent of the story of David, Jonathan, and Saul in the Old Testament.
I prefer the way Tolkien played out the part between Aragorn and Faramir, though, since Faramir in the tale he was elevated to a prince and stayed happily in Ithilien, which he loved. Anyway, Faramir is one of my favorite characters in the story, and both of these scenarios hold true to his character, which is of the highest merit.
