Just think, if he had not gone, how could we have related to his character? I mean we have all been tempted with something more times than we can count! If he had not gone, and no one else succumbed would the story seem real?
I too like Boromir, though he is not my fave. I think many people are hard on him for not making the "right" decision. But think about it, could you have resisted?
Resistance is futile! sorry had to, now you know my "trekkieness!"
Anyway, it added reality to the book.
