Re: hehe

I've seen Boromir mentioned now a couple times and I just wanted to say that no matter how hard I look at him I just can't see anything tragic about him. I've never felt sympathy towards his demise or empathy towards his dilema. In fact, I've almost always considered his character to be the most intrusive of the Company, inserted more as a literary link to Gonodor than as a true entity to know and love (or hate). His lifespan is the shortest of the book (for main characters), even Fatty, Butterbur and Wormtongue lasted long than he.
