[QUOTE="sword-dancer, post: 310445, member: 1491"] Didn`t he get his save when he refused the imaginations of the ring, not earlier. QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Edena_of_Neith [/i] [B] In more Real Life terms, Boromir went into Battle Shock. In battle, warriors are known to have been able to continue fighting, long after they sustained mortal wounds - and, for that matter, wounds that should have immediately incapacitated them, like hits to the heart, liver, kidneys, or major arteries. Whether it was shock or something else, those warriors fought on, long after they should have gone down. [/B][/QUOTE] I would call it (besides Battle shock) sheer determination, people for which he felt responsible were in grave danger, through his own fault, failings and shortcomings in ihis point of view, and so he would do what he haedto do or die trying. If it`s possible or not didn`t matter, not in the last. I see him as somebody who was tricked in the trap of the ring by his feelings an´d duties. He feel himself responsible for the people of Gondor, his duty was to protect them, and in his fear for them, and in his pride he didn`t saw the danger, and so he tumbled in the trap. But he refused to succumb to the shadow. Aragorn spoke from his great and glorious victory, meaning this. [/QUOTE]
