I felt for Boromir

Boromir was a true patriot who loved his land and its people. Indeed he has given much to preserve what he could and I would even go on to say that he had given his all. What Boromir did, he did it all for the love of his country and he did what he thought was the best Fate dealt him a cruel hand by having his father send him on an unsuitable errand that was to spell his doom and to have to face the menace of the ring during his moment of desperateness and weakness.

He did not "sin" when he tried to take the ring, the fates were toying with him. Boromir did not deserve to die like a hunted animal.
