Summary: In LOTR: ROTK, if i recall correctly, Faramir was wounded in one of the last battles in the movie (not sure exactly if it was on the Pelennor fields), and was dragged back to Minas Tirith by his horse. forgive me, but i only saw the third film once, so i may be a bit off on a few details. anyway, after he is dragged back, Pippin and Gandalf both notice he needs medical attention, but Denethor simply will not hear of it, and assumes his son dead, and decides to burn him AND himself alive! Pippin follows them to where they will burn Faramir, and notices a change in his breathing, showing that he is indeed alive. he runs to Gandalf and they both charge into the room, stop Denethor, and eventually Faramir is healed by Gandalf (or is it Aragorn..think it is the latter), etc. here is the challenge: from the moment Faramir began fighting with his troops on the battlefield, and when he was wounded, what do you think was going through his mind..fear, a desire to prove himself to his father one last time? or was he in desperation, or a combination of emtions, that he would die and finally be reunited with his soulmate, his brother Boromir? that would be my guess..:) also, what was going through Faramir's mind as he was dragged back to Minas Tirith (or maybe he was unconscious and woke partially in the burning chamber), and when he finally started to come to as Denethor covered him in oil and prepared to burn him? to me, Faramir looked like he was definitely in some amount of pain, just beginning to become fully aware of it, and also he looked deep in thought, close to tears. this is the challenge i propose for your group, and i believe it would be a formidable one to see online. i am not much of a writer myself, but i do know great works when i see them. good luck to you all, and keep up the fabulous work! :)
