Galadriel is human in that she desire for power, and a noble human in that she overcomes that desire when its effection is offered to her. Galadriel is not pure, but she is not ignoble as Boromir is, for she overcomes the desire to have the Ring when it is offered to her. Boromir never nears this. The only resistence he puts towards the temptation of Ring comes as catharsis after it has been taken from him in a moment which he gave in entirely to the Ring.
