Boromir88--

From what you've said I realized that if anyone, other than Frodo, was greatly helped by what Galadriel did, it was Aragorn. After all, he was the one most torn, so to speak. Frodo and Boromir knew what each of them wanted to do. Sam was certain where his loyalty lies. The rest were not yet decided, but like as not they would follow Aragorn, wherever he went. And Aragorn has been burdened with the leadership of the Company ever since Gandalf fell in Moria. He was loyal to Frodo and the Quest, but as the heir to the throne of Gondor he also desired to go to Minas Tirith and "save his people". Because of the sequence of events that led to Boromir's actions and, eventually, his death, Aragorn has decided where his road really leads him. And as Keeper of Dol Guldur said:
Quote:
What good would Anduril and the returning King be in Mordor?
no doubt he has chosen the best path he could possibly choose. All things indeed work together for good.

So, Galadriel loves her (soon-to-be) grandson-in-law that much, huh?

But would you say that if it wasn't for Boromir trying to take the Ring from Frodo, and causing Frodo wanting to get away, Aragorn still would have wanted to go to Minas Tirith? Do you think the breaking of the Fellowship, and the events, is what led Aragorn knowing what his path now was? Or was it just fate, that even if the Fellowship didn't break apart, something down the road would lead Aragorn to his path of becoming King?
