It proves that at the end of his life he admits his weakness and many mistakes.īoromir was buried in T.A. “Farewell, Aragorn! Go to Minas Tirith and save my people! I have failed.” – were his last words. Many Orcs lay slain, piled all about him and at his feet.” But Aragorn saw that he was pierced with many black-feathered arrows his sword was still in his hand, but it was broken near the hilt his horn cloven in two was at his side. Aragorn finds him “sitting with his back to a great tree, as if he was resting. He violently fights with forwarding orcs, blows his horn hoping the others will come to his rescue … but all in vain. Later Boromir redeems his impulsive act with his blood. Thus, Boromir is one of the causes of the Breaking of the Fellowship. It is there when the Ring Bearer leaves for Mordor without the Company. He even tries to justify Frodo’s disappearance. Come back!”.Īfter that Boromir becomes gloomy and distracted. But after Frodo becomes invisible (he puts the Ring on) Boromir cries out, dashing away the tears: “What have I said? What have I done? Frodo, Frodo! Come back! A madness took me, but it has passed. Borromir finally succumbs to the Ring’s influence and attempts to take it by force.įoolish accusations directed at Frodo, curses and blind fury – all these become the result of the Ring’s impact on him. Boromir does not wish to go to Mordor and fears to leave Gondor to the mercy of fate. He, probably, overestimates the role of his motherland in the war against the enemy. But why didn’t it happen to other members of the Fellowship? The answer is simple – Evil finds a soft spot in the warrior’s character.īoromir believes that without Gondor’s might and power, Middle-earth will not survive. It turns out that the Ring influences him in this way. Boromir becomes more and more aggressive, he couldn’t help arguing with Aragorn about where to go further. The Company often notice that he “bites his nails, murmurs something and looks somewhat strange at Frodo”. But not for a second does he think about a watchful eye, which if only called upon would turn in one’s direction.īoromir constantly feels nervous. During the Council he keeps on wanting to blow his horn believing that it can scare the enemy away. If Aragorn reminds of his origin in a special occasion only, Boromir, a son of Steward of Gondor, not for a single moment forgets about it.īoromir is undoubtedly very brave. But instead more trouble might come.īy nature, Boromir is very proud and arrogant. Boromir did not understand that it was not the way to defeat Sauron, the Dark Lord. Every now and then a fixed idea to own the Ring and direct it against the enemy came into his mind. Going southwards, the Ring was eating his will away. It is clear that Boromir was much weaker than Aragorn. Since the Council Boromir becomes very suspicious and skeptical – begins to worry about Gondor’s fate and Steward’s throne especially after Aragorn, a true heir to the throne, appears out of the blue. On a baldric he wore a great horn tipped with silver that now was laid upon his knees”.īoromir’s prophetic dream comes true, although up to the last moment he doesn’t believe an oracular poem about a broken sword. He had a collar of silver in which a single white stone was set his locks were shorn about his shoulders. He was cloaked and booted as if for a journey on horseback and indeed though his garments were rich, and his cloak was lined with fur, they were stained with long travel. The following quotation describes Boromir: “and seated a little apart was a tall man with a fair and noble face, dark-haired and grey-eyed, proud and stern of glance. To seek the meaning of that dream he set out to Imladris (or Rivendell) and found himself at the Council of Elrond. In June 3018 he defeated Sauron’s attack on Osgiliath, which means “Star Citadel” in Numenorean. At last, Boromir was appointed as the Commander of Gondor. He always wanted to become a great warrior and, therefore, learned the art of fencing as well as the military theory. He was named after the 11th Steward of Gondor who repulsed orc’s attack on the Ithilien lands in T.A. 2978, son of Denethor II, Steward of Gondor, is a member of the Fellowship of the Ring.
