Thanks so much to everyone for the great ideas so far! I've read all the comments and while I don't have time to reply in depth, those interpretations are really interesting. I'm sure it will help me with this essay, and I hope everyone else enjoys thinking about Borya.
One thing: Are there any quotes that describe Boromir that have influenced how you think of him? I know there's the famous description of Boromir + Faramir in the appendices, and also Eomer's comment during the hunt for Merry and Pippin, that Boromir seemed to have a special kinship with the Rohirrim even more than with the Gondorians - are there any other descriptions I should be keeping in mind?
