Which of the Fellowship would have gone ring mad? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Boromir, was the first to fall to the ring, if Frodo stayed in the fellowship and Merry and Pip weren't captured who do you think would of fallen next?

For me, it's hard to decide, maybe one of the hobbits. Probably Pippin sinc he was so darn curious. Maybe, Aragorn after all he is a "man" and didn't have the encounter with the ring like Boromir had. Also, at this point Aragorn was struggling with himself about all the bad decisions he had made and why was he in charge.

The thing I do know for sure is Gimli would of fallen last. He saw the ring diferently then anyone else. He was a dwarf, great miners, had all the riches he could desire. He only saw the ring as another piece of gold to throw on the pile, but would of taken it as is their greedy way for more. The dwarves did deny Sauron and wouldn't fight with him, consider that too.
