I will admit that the very first time I read The Lord of the Rings, I mistrusted Boromir, because Sam did, but I was still upset when he died, and from that time on, I liked him better each time I read it. Now, of course, he is one of my favourite characters of all time. I think, in general, people just don't get him, which is a pity. He is such a great, human character - the oldest son, the captain an entire country looks up to, the one who bears a crushing and terrifying weight of responsibility. I think it is telling that Tolkien took time out of the story (Merry and Pippin had just been captured after all, and Frodo and Sam were just gone) to give Boromir a proper funeral, with as much solemnity as possibe, including his own lamenting poem. There is nearly a whole chapter dedicated to it, which just goes to show how much respect Tolkien himself must have had for the Lord of Gondor.

I definitely am with you on this one; Boromir is who I pitied the most. I think there is too much hating on Boromir from the fandom, and this post is an excellent reference for changing someone's mind about that! Great work! :DMeeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057852084561496151noreply@blogger.com
