I don't like Boromir, but I will take his defence, since it is an interesting challenge.
Just how different was his situation from that of Frodo? We must keep in mind his travel intentions: Quote:
Let us consider another point, his power: Quote:

Serious alcohol or drug addiction can render a man or woman impervious to almost everything else in the world, including health, safety, and loved ones, but there are also cases in which such persons, if only for a moment, grasped the precariousness of their situations and reached out for the help that ultimately saved them.
I've often wondered how differently the Fellowship would have fared had Boromir, upon being tempted by Galadrial in particular, turned to Gandalf and cried, "Help me - I can no longer resist." |

If Borimer is human and Aragorn is not I like whatever Aragorn is better...
Not to put down humanity... But I think Aragorn is just a very good man. (A numanorian but still human)
