Role Model Ruler
Disclaimer: I have no afflitiation with Tolkien Estates or New Line Cinema, which own this stuff.

Faramir had tried to please his father, but all for naught. He was not Boromir. Yet, now the king had not let him surrender the White Rod, but had made him Steward again. This king had love: for his country, his family, and his friends. Denethor would have seen a rival, but Faramir saw Aragorn, literally, as a dream come true. Here was a ruler who cared about his subjects, and showed it. Here was a ruler who had respect for the unique talents of each person’s talents, and sought to utilize them. Here was a ruler Faramir could admire.
