I would like to thank *Varda* for bringing back this thread. A very good one, I think.

Other than reiterate Reyna Evergreen's point about plot and Silver-shod Muse's about forgiveness (which I think helps to suggest an interpretation of Gollem) and turning events to the good, I would like to draw a comparison. Boromir's actions, like Eowyn's, are faulty, but both show that error can be forgiven and that good can be wrought out of bad choices. The characters who make initially wrong decisions are both human rather than elf. Suggest something, I think, about the fourth age.
