Re: Deceptively complex characters from shows/books/movies that are very much NOT highbrow art
Dear Eru, so much complexity can be inferred about him when you start looking into his brother and father and working out the effect it would have had on him, and things like working out how Aragorn's time in Gondor as Thorongil would have affected Denethor, and that, by extension, affected Boromir.
Like, for instance, we know Boromir started out not caring about having a king in Gondor. Denethor also expresses an attitude of not wanting Aragorn to come and take the throne. What may be less known to to movie-only fans is that some time in something like his 30s (between 40 and 50 years prior to LotR), Aragorn went down to Rohan and then onto Gondor. So, did Denethor get his bad opinion of Aragorn then? And how many stories has Boromir grown up with about the "useless heir of Isildur"?
That's not even starting in on the whole issue of working out how you think Boromir reacted to Denethor's treatment of Faramir.
