Boromir and the Ring - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Poor Boromir! He hasn't even SEEN the Ring apart from a brief glimpse at Imladris and it has driven him crazy! Is it possible that perhaps it never actually had any influence over him at all? He was just desperate to save Gondor and the Ring seemed like a good idea at the time and that silly hobbit is going to get himself killed and the Ring taken back by Sauron anyway... of course he's upset! But Boromir is also a decent man, and a kind one, as can be seen in the course of FOTR, in his consideration for the hobbits' needs. Naturally, he feels bad when Frodo has run off and he comes to his wits. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
