Re: Favorite character

I can never decide on a favourite character. I think it depends on lots of things, and I'm always changing my mind.

Who would I want on my side if I were in trouble? Aragorn or Gandalf definitely. Bravery, strength, loyalty, honour... lots to admire and respect there.

Who would I want to spent time in the pub with? Merry and Pippen, certainly, for their humour, cameraderie and good company. Maybe also Bilbo, who could tell wonderful tales.

Who do I care about the most? Definitely Sam, who has loads of qualities, as well as a vulnerability which makes everyone want to befriend him. Sam always needs other people, and his emotions and self-doubt make him easier to identify with, as well as very appealing.
