Opinions on Boromir

[Ruler of the Frogs]

Probably alot of other people have already said this, but I think Boromir is the realest character in Lord of the Rings. I mean, all the other characters are beleivable, but they're not as real if you know what I mean. They all have an innocence or a surrealness to them, where Boromir just has realism. I think that it's really unfair to think of Boromir as a bad guy, and he happens to be one of my favourite characters, because I can identify with him. If my house was being attacked, and some guy I don't even think is very skilled, has a weapon that might help me and he's going to go destroy it, I think I'd be a bit upset too. I know that I would want the weapon to help my family. Not saying that Boromir should have gotten the ring (because the Ring is evil) but he didn't really understand how evil the Ring was. So it's not his fault. I think he's a good guy deep down, and it's actually really sad how he comes to an end.
