Your favorite character(s)

So, easy question, what is your favorite character(s) and why? and then also, if you like the character from the book or the movie or both?

Mine are:

Aragorn - I love Aragorn because he is very strong, but at the same time he is a bit insecure about being becoming king. I like him in both the book and the movie, also I personally think that his film character is a little diffrent then his movie character. I am also totally happy about the actor Viggo Mortensen potraying him.

Eowyn - She is such a strong women, she breaks free from her cage and she gets together with Faramir ;) I like her in the book alot, in the movie she is okay.

He's so human, with flaws and everything, but especially in the book he was insainely noble-like and I love it. Just read the battle of Helm's Deep when he walks up on the wall at night. Also, I have never seen a more epic fighter. Seriously. Bow, sword, knifes, and he's one of the Dunedain so he's able to "become invisible". How awesome is that?; ▶ Reply to This

He is someone who is wise and has the ability to rule, however he knows that such power can be toxic to any man. Like in the movie The Gladiator with Russel Crow. When the king asked his character o take his power and give it back to the people, atfirst he diclined. He could do it sure but that kind of power is alot of responsibility.
Anyway I would have to say that I love all of them. It is hard to pick just one. I have read the book every year for years now and still watch the movie often. I think my personal favorite is Gollum. His story has so much meaning and it is a great reminder of what could happen when you let greed control your life.
Coming in on a close second is a tie between Aragorn and Legolas.; ▶ Reply to This
