what would've happened if Boromir had lived? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't think Boromir's life or death could have changed much for the Fellowship (as people before me stated). Anyway the Breaking of the Fellowship (Frodo and Sam's departure) took place before Boromir fell.

But his being alive would have changed a lot of things in Minas Tirith. Denethor probably wouldn't have despaired to such an extent, having his elder and beloved son at his side. He wouldn't have been so hard on Faramir, forcing him to risk his life so. And Aragorn could have had to face strong confrontatiion while claiming his right.
