Boromir's Death - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

First off, I'm not obsessed with Legolas. Just gotta clear that.

Second, it wasn't just 3 arrows; that's the movie. And actually, those arrows were huge! But in the book, it doesn't give an exact number, just that Boromir was "pierced by many."

Also, how does dying by the Witch King's hand redeem himself? Sure it's a noble feat, but anyone at Minas Tirith would've tried to do it if it was necessary. But Boromir died trying to protect the Hobbits, trying to make up for his mistake.

Now lets just say that he did live, and would've gotten to go fight the Witch King. Would've the company trusted him? I don't think so...
