boromir

Me, @Elwing the White and 7 other people are cosplaying as The Fellowship for a mini Comic Con near us. One of my friends who is cosplaying as Boromir was wondering how to make a Boromir horn. We searched the internet, but all of the options are really complicated (we're not serious cosplayers...

Denethor II - Tolkien vs Jackson As there are extreme differences between how Peter Jackson portrayed Denethor II in his films vs how he was described in Tolkien's book. Many may only know the movie depiction of him as a hateful father, terrible ruler, and a disgusting slob. He wasn't anything...

There is not much action in this chapter but it is a substantial chapter nonetheless. Faramir, his Rangers, Frodo and Sam move from the circular pool to a secret hideout closer to the Anduin. The impression that the Rangers are a disciplined, well led and well organised force is reinforced as...

A short chapter to set the scene for The Two Towers. Aragorn has to choose between following Merry and Pippin who have been captured by orcs from Isengard, or to follow Frodo and Sam into Mordor. The one priority of the Company is the destruction of the Ring in Mount Doom yet the difference is...

Chapter 9 of Book II The Company are on the move now and now by boat on the great River Anduin. Even so, the Company seem reluctant to move quickly letting themselves go with the flow of the river: putting off the east/west choice. Only Boromir seems certain of what he wants to do. Hints at...

I'm reading now where Boromir is trying to seduce the Ring from Frodo. He's stating that maybe wizards or Elves couldn't handle wielding the Ring but somehow Men could. Did he not read of how the Men of Numenor were seduced by Sauron or how Isildur took the Ring and was betrayed by it? He...

Could somebody devout give me their best approximation of time passed between Aragorn meeting Boromir in Rivendell, and Boromir's death? Just curious.

Hello there! I recently read a chapter from the Nature of Middle-Earth (released in February 2021) about beards. Tolkien answers a fan if he imagined certain characters as beardless or not and dives into the lore behind it. I've covered the topic in this video on my channel, if it interests you...

I just watched this: And it occured to me that Roland's horn is similar to Boromir's horn. Roland blew his horn too late, and the sound "echoed through the mountains and seas", which is similar to how Boromir's horn could be heard throughout Gondor.

There is a particular aspect I like speculating about, as regards the description of Boromir's passing.. At last slow words came. ‘I tried to take the Ring from Frodo,’ he said. ‘I am sorry. I have paid.’ His glance strayed to his fallen enemies; twenty at least lay there. ‘They have gone: the...

I'm not sure we can say for certain that he'd have not caved like his brother (Boromir held out a long time against the temptation of the Ring before trying to seize it. He was with Frodo for a month or so (maybe more, cannot recall how much time passed, but they left sometime in winter from...

The other day I was tidying my room when I found an old summary of the characters of the Lord of the Rings I wrote long ago for a friend who wanted to read the book, but was afraid of getting the many characters all mixed up. Under the entry for Boromir, I was surprised to read that I had...

In Peter Jackson's film Boromir is tempted by the ring and he utters the line: "It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing." Is this from the book and if so where? Thanks.

From The Fellowship of the Ring, "The Council of Elrond": At this point in time, Gandalf had been to Gondor numerous times, and he certainly knew Denethor well. Wouldn't he also have already met Denethor's son? Later in the story, I get the impression that he (Gandalf) knows Faramir. I...

From The Lord of the Rings, Farewell to Lórien: Yes, Boromir had accepted the correction of Elrond. But somewhere along the way that correction had faded from his mind, and from what had happened to the Fellowship, only one specific occation may have done this to Boromir: the moment when...

I'm sure this has already been posted here, but I got it in an e-mail just recently and I think it's pretty funny. http://images8.fotki.com/v145/photos/2/23376/93737/mordor-vi.gif

I'm a big fan of both books and film, but I think the films actually did a better job with Aragorn and Boromir than the books. In the books, Aragorn is a bit high-and-mighty sometimes, declaring I'm the heir of so-and-so and here's my mighty sword, blah, blah, blah. The books shows him as a...

I think they are great despite the fact that they die. Haldir is the best fighting elf at Helm's Deep, he is the only one seen to be actually killing any Uruk-Hai (except Legolas) while Boromir is unstoppable i mean come on THREE arrows! almost four! If that isn't amazing i don't know what is.

What do you guys think if Boromir had not died in the trilogy, movies or books. I was watching TTT EE yesterday and i came acroos this in my mind. I figured that he would embrace Aragorn and fight by his side, no matter the peril. What do u people think?

how did Samwise the gamgee know about Boromir's death???
