There are many significant reason for Boromir's death and the way it happened. However, the question WHY could be interpreted in two diffrent ways - because of what, and what for. The posts above answered the "what for" did Boroir have to die the way he did, but none really explain because of what. I guess that Gandalf decided to let Boromir choose his own path rather then pointing it to him. I know that that stateent is really lame; does anyone have any other ideas?
