Hero family
Boromir from The Lord of the Rings was the heir to the governor Gondor and his eldest son. He also held the title of military commander Gondor and the First guard of the Citadel. The brother of Boromir from The Lord of the Rings was Faramir. Their mother died when the boys were still small. After that, their father became gloomy and separated from his sons.
Boromir has always been support and support for Faramir. The brothers supported and understood each other, despite differences in characters. Boromir showed interest in military affairs, and Faramir liked spending time reading more, although he was also very skilled in military craft. Their father singled out the eldest son more, but there was never hostility between the brothers. Faramir always admired Boromir.
Unusual dream
Boromir in “The Lord of the Rings” is one of the members of the fraternity that was created at the council in Rivendell. He went to the elves because he wanted to get the interpretation of his dream, which he and his brother Faramir dreamed about.
In this dream, it was said that the broken sword of Elendil was again forged in a place called Imladris, and the mysterious halfling (the hobbit) was to take the blow of the curse of Isildur. The brothers decided to go to their father for advice, because he was wise and had wide knowledge in various fields.
He told them that Imladris is the home of the Lord of the Elves Elrond and is located in the north. Faramir wanted to go there and find out about the future of Gondor, but Boromir, who knew that the road would be difficult and difficult, decided that he would go on the road. Despite all the difficulties of the journey, the brave gondar arrived in Imladris.
Council in Rivendell
Boromir arrived at Rivendell just a few hours before the council began. There he saw the hobbits and realized what half-spoke was mentioned in his dream. At the council, he spoke about the fact that Gondor is still holding the power of Mordor, and he did not come to ask for military help. Boromir asked for interpretation of his dream.
Aragorn showed him the sword of Elendil, and Frodo the ring of omnipotence. Boromir was the only one who wanted to use him in order to fight with Sauron. He said that despite the courage and courage of the Gondorians, they would not be able to restrain the strength of Mordor for a long time, and the ring could help them.
But Elrond said that it cannot be used even with good intentions, because it will turn them to evil. Boromir agreed with him, and on council he became a member of the Fellowship of the Ring.
Trying to pick up the ring
Boromir continued to believe that the ring should be used in the battle with Sauron - his power would help to win. But Frodo refuses, and then the gondar, angry, tries to take the ring. Boromir saw himself as a powerful king who defeats Sauron. But the hobbit puts on the ring and disappears.
Boromir comes to his senses and realizes that he has succumbed to the temptation of the ring. He cries and asks Frodo to return, but he does not come. The warrior returns to the other members of the fraternity and says that he argued with the hobbit and he left. Mary and Pippin rushed to look for him, Aragorn ordered the Gondor to guard them.
Boromir found them surrounded by a detachment of orcs. He blew his horn, notifying others of the danger. The gondoret bravely defended the hobbits, but there were too many orcs, and he died from their arrows. Before his death, Boromir in The Lord of the Rings confesses to Aragorn that he is to blame for the departure of Frodo. That he succumbed to influence, but Aragorn says that he is a strong man and that Minas Tirith will not fall.
Boromir’s body was put in one of the boats, and three nights later Faramir saw him. The boat was enveloped in a magical glow.
In the cinema
The role of Boromir in "The Lord of the Rings" was played by Sean Bean. Peter Jackson changed the appearance of the character, as well as the death of the character is shown at the end of the first part, and in the book she is described at the beginning of the second. Further in the films Boromir is shown only in the memoirs of other heroes. But the main character traits of this character coincide with his literary version. In Boromir’s photo from The Lord of the Rings, you can see how Sean Bean is harmonious in this role.
This hero caused a mixed reaction among literary critics. Some perceived his image as mediocre, someone compared him to Saruman, saying that they considered themselves strong and great leaders, but died because of their ambition. Others believed that Boromir’s death from The Lord of the Rings and the subsequent scene of his forgiveness is the most touching in the entire trilogy.
Boromir was a strong and proud warrior who cared for the well-being of his people. Despite the fact that he succumbed to the influence of the ring, a good start in him gained up. Boromir believed Aragorn, who promised that everything would be fine with his people.
