yea it was hard to place him on the good side or bad side. i think his only main interest was what would be good for gondor. and boromir was one of the best things that happened to gondor so thats why denthor liked him so much more.

Favorite: Frodo or Merry - I just relate to hobbits i'm so close to being one myself
Funniest: Pippin is pretty funny...I also think that some of the things Saruman says in the latter half of the book are funny
Stupidest: Butterbur
Nicest: Frodo; he even treats Grima and Saruman nicely compared to what others would have done in the Scouring of the Shire
Least Favorite: Saruman; he is evil like Sandyman and Ferny but unlike them he is wise and should have never been dumb enough to fall to evil

This takes some thought...

1. Favourite character: Frodo, of course! He's very spirited and kind of funny in the beginning, and then he grows more mature and brave. I admire his courage for carrying the Ring instead of going back to the Shire, and I like the way he never gives up and turns back to go home even when things get really tough.

2. Funniest character: Hmm...I'd have to say Pippin. He may have grown into a Gondorian soldier, but he's still a young Hobbit-lad at heart.

3. Stupidest character: Barliman Butterbur. But not in the "Ooh, let's see what happens when I stand in the fire!" sort of stupid.

4. Nicest character: Frodo again! He's nice to everyone, even Gollum and Grima. He only fights when nesessary, which is another reason why I like him.

5. ARAGORN!!! He's arrogant, he's a show-off, and does nothing but hack at orcs all day and dreams of stupid Arwen all night. And then he becomes King. He's too chiched of a hero for me to like him. But other than that, this question was hard.

yeah, but that's no reason for forgetting about the rest of the world. Gondor isn't everything

As the Steward of Gondor, I believe it was Denethor's duty to put Gondor's interests before the interests of the rest of the world. To him, Gondor was everything.

you like defending him, don't you?
I don't know. I think he over-rated his own abilities.

If you put it that way .... what's your good thing for Sauron then?

Sauron? Well, he's pure evil. I've nothing good to say about him, except that he's a great villain in Tolkien's world.

As I sead earlier in this thread; there is no character in Tolkien's books that I really dislike. Not even Sauron

No doubt he impressed me.

Perhaps we should stop the discussion or take it elsewhere. I'm afraid the off-topic police will catch us sooner or later.

1.) Favourite character.

Does it have to be LotR? If it does then Treebeard, I agree with "Don't be hasty" however hard I find it not to be!
If not then Garm, he's adorable!

2.)Funniest character.

Pippin, he may grow up to be respectable, but like DB said, he's still a young mischief-making hobbit-lad at heart.

3.)Stupidest character.

Butterbur

4.)Nicest character.

Garm

5) Wormtongue
