I accidentally deleted your comment. Very sorry, really. I’m so used to hitting the “mark all as spam” button that I sent your input to the black hole that is my database (I don’t know how to get it back from there).
I will post something on Boromir, but first I have to figure out if his is a case of restoration or salvation. In a pre-Christian era (such as the OT or LOTR), it’s sometimes hard to know. Boromir did have Númenorean blood in him, albeit not as much as his brother or father, but I don’t know if that makes him part of the covenant/chosen community. If I recall, however, the first movie made a lot more of his “salvation” than did the book. But I could be wrong: give me a little time and I’ll post my thoughts.
Again, sorry for wiping you out; thanks, though, for the comment.
Namárië.
