++Boromir
Elmo is right when he talks about Boromir not being as complicated and Maedhros is and I think that is the main reason that people can relate to Boromir more. Unlike Maedhros, Boromir wasn't out to get revenge for his father or cause misery all for the sake of jewels. Instead Boromir set out with noble intentions of seeing the quest through until his road parted with Aragorn to Minas Tirith, but was in time corrupted by the Ring. Let's face it, Boromir's death was heroic and more tragic than Maedhros'.
