Ooo... this piece makes me think! Good! I could sit here and anaylze this fanfic for a while.
Here's my take on it: Both brothers of Gondor going into battle at the same time, each man reflecting on the passion of battle, yes? I think I only figured that out because of the author's note. Without that introduction, I'm not sure I would have picked up on the parallel between the two brothers.
I liked that you seperated the two voices with simply stating, "Moria" and "Ithilien." So few clues, such hidden meaning!
Either that, I have W A Y too much time to sit and analyze things! Good job! |

The parallel between the brothers is well-handled. (the lit-Crit term is doubling).
Boromir, naturally, is more physical, Faramir more intellectual.
If there is a flaw, it is that this is too short--it could easily go on longer, alternating between the battle sites. |

Nicely done... beautiful contrast between the two. I agree with KhazarKhum, I would have liked to see more between the two, but then I can never see enough words on Faramir and Boromir.
You captured both of them well. Not making Boromir too much the warrior without a brain or Faramir too weak. |

Way too short, and you left us hanging. Other than that, a job well done. You capture the essence of the battles and the thoughts of those about to embark upon them. Thank you for sharing this, it is truly a wonderful piece.
