Your Favorite Character(s): A Different Approach - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have to confess that I have a strong bonding with most of Tolkien's characters (and after reading LOTR ten times and watching the movies countless of times, I think this is undestandable). But when I have to talk about the character that is closest to my heart, then I definately have to choose Aragorn. His determination is admirable and, in a way, moving also. It is impressing to see how his mere presence is able to bring so much hope and comfort. When writing this, I also feel obliged to speak of the episode from the Houses of Healing, that has helped in kindling such a passion for this character.
I know that I gave written only a small part of what could be said, yet I also believe that, when it comes to a person whom you greatly admire, words seem to fail.
