Re: Re: The tears of Boromir

Boromir's "distrust" of the Lady was personal.

I do not think that any good and decent person (as Boromir basically was) despite their prejudices, could pass through such a scene without being effected.

Tears in the eyes of Boromir.

Certainly.

All of his problems were bound up in his pride and the working of the Ring upon it. But Galadriel in full glory left none unaffected. Especially not in the full context of all the events transpiring!

Boromir was a passionate man, who cared for the other members of the Fellowship and cared for Gondor and Denethor and Faramir dearly. He accepted Aragorn as the Heir.

His scene of repentance ere his death revealed his true heart.

The rest was weakness and the Ring.

I've known of hard prejudiced white men (of an elder generation) who were moved to tears by a black preacher and choir.

It's not such a far stretch for Boromir to tear up at this.
