Opinions on Boromir - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think Boromir is a really important part of the story. During the course of the story (especially the fellowship of the ring) we learn about middle earth from the people on the journey - the wizard, the hobbits, the dwarf, the elve and the humans. Boromir is our only link to Gondor. Aragorn, because of his 'destiny' must be pretty much perfect, but Boromir shows us the desperation and valor of Gondor, as well as the downfalls of men.

I personally think Boromir is definitely good - his actions are always driven by good intentions, and he dies a hero.

He also gives us a warning of what is to come, i.e Denethor, but hope because there are many like him.
