[Son of Fire]

Okay everybody, a while ago it was said that perhaps Denethor loved Faramir more, but showed more to Boromir. I would like to point out that boromir in its roots seems to say "boro" precious "mir" jewel, while "fara" less loved or far away and mir is the same. So, therefore, as tolkien chose almost every name very specifically, we can see that this is not true. Also, Boromir was somewhat of a control freak in the book and hardly bows to the leadership of Aragorn and it can be argued that he desired the ring to become more powerful and would have been happy to take it. Faramir, howver, had the chance to seize the ring and only helped frodo and sam in their quest without trying to take it. A king who desired only conquest would have led Gondor only to failure but one who was willing to strategise and be valiant in battle when it was necessary would be able to beat use Gondor's waning strength.
