Facts you may or may not know about Tolkiens characters: Tolkien confessed that about a third of the way through The Fellowship of the Ring, some ruffian named Strider confronted the hobbits in an inn, and Tolkien was in despair. He didnt know who Strider was, where the book was going, or what to write next. Strider turns out to be no lesser person than Aragorn, the unrecognized and uncrowned king of all the forces of good. According to one of Tolkiens letters, Boromir was originally meant to be an only child. Hed had no intention to bring Faramir into the story, though he clarifies later that even though his appearance was unexpected, he was glad it happened. Faramir, according to Tolkien, was also the character most like himself. Tolkien speculated that if Sam had shown Gollum more pity and compassion on the stairs, it was probable that he would have repented. ~Evenstar
