Kili and Faramir - An Arrow to the Knee
|
|
|
Has anyone else noticed?
Both Faramir and Kili are brothers of heirs to kingly, but unworthy, fathers suffering from a greed-fuelled madness.
Both are great archers.
Both fall in love with strong battle-trained women.
Both are sent on dangerous tasks by their fathers - resulting in being shot in the leg with a poisoned arrow.
Both become sick from the wound (most likely black-breath in both cases).
Both are effectively turned away by their maddening fathers in favour of their older brother.
Both are healed with the use of Athelas.
After the war After the death of his father and brother, Faramir becomes Steward under rule of a new King (Aragorn).
Kili... Well we don't know yet, but this could be different or similar, we'll have to see. 
Interestingly, Tolkien has said that out of all of his characters Faramir resembles himself the most. So one could argue that Kili has a little of Tolkien in him.
