Ok, I have decided to switch weeks 3 and 4 so...
This Week: Boromir and Faramir
I find the relationship between the two brothers to be quite interesting; one of the points I find interesting is the fact that their mother's death, while detaching Denethor from the family, only seems to have drawn Boromir and Faramir closer together. The reason for this I think is, that when faced with grief Denethor seems to keep to himself and try to deal with it alone, while Boromir and Faramir seem more likely to turn to others for strength, as when their mother died Boromir and Faramir drew closer after their mothers death, most likely I think because they turned toward each other for strength, while Denethor tried to deal with the loss alone. I also find it interesting how, even though Denethor quite openly favored Boromir there was no jealousy or rivalry between the two brothers. So what are your thoughts on the sons of Denethor?
