Was Boromir good or bad

starwars How would have the lord of the rings went on if faramir went in boromirs stead?

He was undeniably good.
The poor guy was just another soul lost to the ring.

B

I'd go on the same long rant I give to my idiot friends who think "omg, lego-las is, liek, teh uber bestest evar!!1! boramer sucks, he should have runed away from teh arows!", but I am tired and have a migrane. To some it up, yes, Boromir is good.

Boromir was good, it was the Ring that lead him down the path of trying to take it away from Frodo...

The true question should be, why was Farimir able to withstand the Rings power, yet Borimir was not ???

Hmm..Good question, but wasnt it that he wasnt around the Ring as much as Boromir because Boromir was a part of the Fellowship and all.

Interesting point of view....but in asking that, then why was Sam when he took the ring for such a short period effected by it in the way that he was. Now you might say it was different for him, since he actually had possesion of the ring, but Faramir knew what the Ring was capable of, and he in fact had thoughts of taking the ring to earn the love he so desperately wanted from his Father...Denethor.

Point taken! One of Tolkien's never ending mysteries I suppose! Boromir, at first, spoke of using the ring for Gondor's ruling, and also that of using it against Sauron. Which isnt possible. And I believe Faramir had the same thing in mind, as said in The Two Towers, and we also saw the way they looked at the ring.

Though, now if Faramir was sent to join the Fellowship instead of Boromir...would Boromir allowed the Hobbits to leave as Faramir did ?

Hmm...Good Question. I dont think he'd give in so easily, but he'd eventually have to give into the subject, considering it was already final that the ring HAD to go to Mordor to be destroyed.

Though it would have been interesting if Faramir would have accompanied the two Hobbits to Mordor instead of sending them on their way...

Being so close to Mordor...wouldn't it also be logical that Faramir know of a much easier way to get into it ?

I know I am steering away of the subject a little, but if the fellowship had not been broken...would Frodo still tried to keep the ring at the end with them all standing there ?

How true. I've never really thought of that. Thought it woul've been 10 companions instead of 9.
And I think Frodo would've, At the beginning of ROTK the corruption level was unbearable, and whilst he was standing in the fires of Mordor he turned back because it had finally taken him over fully. But then Gollum came in. It's just like at the beginning of FOTR, where as you saw Isildur tried to take the ring back while Elrond yelled for him to throw it in, Just like Sam did.

Yes...but Isildur did keep the ring, even with Elrond telling him to throw it into the fire...

Would Frodo, having held onto the ring for so long, be able to throw it and destroy it, even with the companions telling him to do so....And if they were all there...would Gollum even be in the mix of things ?
