Galadriel and the Fellowship

[maiden of the Shire]

Yes, it still would have been broken.
First of all, in the book Galadriel does not say anything to Frodo like 'HE will take the ring'.
Second, when the Fellowship was at the falls of Rauros and Frodo goes off on his own, he tries to decide what to do. Then Boromir comes up to him and asks if he could speak with Frodo to ease his mind. That is when Frodo, hearing Boromir's true intentions for the ring, realizes that the ring is taking over other members of the Fellowship, then he decides, before he and Boromir scuffle, he says something to the extent of 'I'm glad to hear you speak. My mind is clearer now.' Realizing that the Fellowship cannot aid him any longer. It was Frodo's choice to break the Fellowship. And a wise one at that, may I add.

I don't know if you've read the books or not, but if the Fellowship had not been saundered the quest of the ring would have completly failed, because Aragorn, being outside Mordor plays a key part in Frodo and Sam's journey.

Cheers!
