What if Boromir claimed the Ring? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

If Boromir had succeded in taking the ring for himself what do you think would have happened?

Myself personally I believe he would have been championed more than Aragorn as King in Gondor and he would have led an army to Mordor intent on overthrowing Sauron, though it is likely this would fail. The Ring would probably have betrayed him to his death and been reclaimed by Sauron.

Also, I feel he would turn on his father when asked to give up the Ring and possibly feel paranoid towards Faramir. The Men of Gondor would be most likely to side with Boromir and thus would cast Denethor out of their lands.

Ultimately, I feel that the Ring would completely corrupt Boromir and it's corruption would spread from the roots of Gondor outwards.

So, thats enough from me...What do you guys think?
