Re: Boromir
Fingolfin

Hey Maedhros, good to know that at least one person in this world agrees with my views on Boromir. I think that although he was not the most practical, or self-controlled person, he is certainly among the bravest men in Middle-Earth history, ranking among Hurin Thalion or. I think people over-exagerrate Boromir's flaws and make him seem like the bad guy, while not realising that every single other character in FotR has flaws themselves. I'm not going to make a list criticising each character, but I hope you all get my point. Saying that Boromir is somewhat of a bad guy is unfair, not well thought-out, and just plain irrational.
