What if Boromir vs. Faramir

[afro-elf]

What do you think would have happened if

A) Faramir had gone on the Quest

B) What Kind of ruling steward would Boromir have been

c) the same for Faramir



A) This to me is the hardest of the 3 and I'll have to answer later.

B) While his father was more defensive, I think that Boromir would have been aggresive. I am uncertain how this would have boded for Gondor. Perhaps he would have made military service mandatory.

C) Since Faramir was on good terms with Gandalf, I feel that he made have fared better than his brother and father would have.
Perhaps early in his career he would have tried to form some sort of alliance with the free peoples.

I feel he may have been one of the best stewards.

I think Denethor was great stweward, except his arrogance denied him the wisdom of Gandalf and of course him going batty at the end.
