Boromir and the Ring

[MLD-Grounds-Keeper-Willie]

Ok, cause I was going to bring up the part where he lost the ring.

Oh yeah, check your PM.

Is it possible that perhaps it never actually had any influence over him at all?

No, because such a noble man as himself would not have tried to take it from Frodo if the ring did not influence him. But it did. It was on his mind constantly, and it was growing, ever since the council of Elrond. At Lothlorien, he seemed to be obsessed with it, and the ring played on his opinion of it. It sort of enhanced it, and blocked out any advice or knowledge of the matter given by those such as Gandalf or Elrond. At least that's what I think.
