What is Denethors relationship with Boromir?
Boromir was Denethor’s favorite son. He was a mirror of Denethor, a big, strong warrior. With the loss of Boromir, it was like Denethor had been killed himself. Does he love Faramir? Of course, but Faramir’s more similar to Denethor’s late wife, and I think he resents the fact she’s not there anymore, and that reflects on his relationship with that son.
