Everyone, please ignore "ProudAmerican1974" on the Daily Tolkien threads. He does not have an interest in discussing the topic of the thread and by his spamming of the Viggo interview and responses on his vanities (two seperate vanities in one day) to "boycott Lord Of The Rings", he is only here to disrupt this thread. The Daily Tolkien articles are here for the FR fans of Tolkien's works and is meant to be a civil discussion.

If you feel like responding to him, please do so on one of his vanity threads where it would be more appropriate to do so:

Shame on "Lord of the Rings" fans
Boycott Lord of the Rings

The following is the end of the chapter, and I want someone to try to tell me that this hero, pure of heart, the hope of mankind, was not misrepresented:

Frodo had felt himself trembling as the first shock of fear passed. Now a great weariness came down on him like a cloud. He could dissemble and resist no longer. "I was going to find a way into Mordor," he said faintly."I was going to Gorgoroth. I must find the Mountain of Fire and cast the thing into the gulf of Doom. Gandalf said so. I do not think I shall ever get there."

Faramir stared at him for a moment in grave astonishment. Then suddenly he caught him as he swayed, and lifting him gently, carried him to the bed and laid him there, and covered him warmly. At once he fell into a deep sleep

Another bed was set beside him for his servant. Sam hesitated for a moment, then bowing very low: "Good night, Captain, my lord," he said. "You took the chance, sir."

"Did I so?" said Faramir.

"Yes sir, and showed your quality: the very highest."

Faramir smiled. "A pert servant, Master Samwise. But nay: the praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards. Yet there was naught in this to praise. I had no lure or desire to do other than I have done."

"Ah well, sir, "said Sam, "you said my master had an elvish air and that was good and true. But I can say this: you have an air too, sir, that reminds me of, of - well, Gandalf, of wizards."

"Maybe, "said Faramir. "Maybe you discern from far away the air of Númenor. Good night! "
