‘Maybe, it would have been better had Boromir fallen there with Mithrandir,’ said Faramir.
‘See, you have spoken skilfully, as ever; but I, have I not seen your eye fixed on Mithrandir, seeking whether you said well or too much?’ [said Denethor]
`This will be the death of the halflings, Gandalf,‘ [said Boromir]
New meaningless thing to ponder: Why does Boromir call him Gandalf, when the rest of his family calls him Mithrandir and likely has done all his life?
Reason #1 (Boring but most likely) Tolkien forgot he’d had Boromir call him Gandalf.
Reason #2 (slightly better but still boring) Boromir just heard everyone else calling him Gandalf and went along with it.
Reason #3 (petty and so my favourite) Gandalf is obviously pretending to not even know Boromir throughout the entire fellowship for completely obscure reasons and so Boromir, not really wanting to appear familiar with him either, insists on never using (what Boromir considers) his real name.
weird addendum that just occurred to me and I’m honestly not sure how I feel about it: Pretending not to know each other in order to avoid questions from others about your relationship is… a strikingly recognisable ‘ex-boyfriends’ ship trope… 🤔 and an angsty bad break up one at that… 🤔🤔
