Yay, Boromir! Though I am a total fan of Sam, Boromir is a wonderful charachter. He is the very immage of the Greek "Tragic hero" and very admirable. (There's another thread on that somewhere....) He is kind and considerate, a great soldier, incredably loyal, and even the book states that women found him pleasing to look at. So he's arogant (hello- he's practably a prince), and not very scholarly(they were in the middle of war, somethings took presidence), and that was the whole ring thing (even Aragorn, Galadriel, and Gandalf were tempted, but they knew exactly what is was. Boromir didn't have that advantage.) So he has fualts which make him human, and besides those, he is a really great guy. Besides, the last thing we need is another Legolas story. (curse you Orlando- you have ruined the fan base!)
