Yes, Boromir is a tragic hero. A tragic hero must have a fatal flaw in his personality which leads to his destruction. He's very flawed in his Pride for Gondor etc and it does bring about his downfall because he does not seek the ring for himself but the people of Gondor. His loyalty to father and country are his destruction. (As well as a mightily cheesed off Uruk Hai)
