Hmmm. I confess to being a Boromir hater, once, but this thread made my change my mind (that's the magic of this place...it makes you think). and I was having this idea of Boromir who was somehow enslaved to the ring, and was redeemed at the time of his death. Maybe it's too vague of a topic, or it's that i've yet to read the trilogy again.

The brilliance of characters like Boromir is in their quality to make you think. On the surface, he seems to be the least important, or the least popular in among the nine. But it is later realized that his background and history is as complex as Aragorn's vital calling for Middle Earth.

I guess I fell in love with Boromir as well. His flaws were beautiful, and if he knew of these flaws, he would not have a single ounce of regret conderning them.
