Faramir is one of Tolkien's great characters. Here perhaps in purer form than with any other Tolkien showed it is too possible to write a completely noble character unironically - and make him interesting and even likeable. And he gives us that 'window' into the Dunedain: the unfulfilled promise which is yet a great promise, and not quite dead- like the line of Telperion.
Certainly a necessary counterpoint to his flawed (and rather pompous) brother and dessicated, cynical father! Faramir -and what he has to say - are why Gondor and the West are worth fighting for.
