Was Boromir a mistake? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Assuming Faramir travelled with the Company, and assuming that this kept the Company together and allowed them all to escape the attack of the Uruk-Hai, I think there still would have been a problem. If the Company did not split up, with only Samwise and Frodo travelling to Mordor, the presence of the eight of them (because Gandalf would be around the area of Fangorn, since in my little hypothetical world, he still would have fallen in Moria) would be much more likely to be spotted than just two little hobbits.

Though I do think the dreams indicated that Faramir should have gone to Imladris instead of his brother, I also think that the trilogy was very well planned out and that Boromir's part in the journey was imperative.

That was as clear as mud, my apologies! [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img]
