According to, well something, there are a certain number of themes which are in every story ever told, written or made for TV. This includes the "Eternal Triangle"- eg Arwen, Eowyn and Aragorn and "Redemption through suffering" eg Boromir. I would imagine that your story will also have these themes (if I can find them, I'll put them up) and you can't escape it. It's not plagerism (Don't know how to spell that!) it's inevitable (or that!).
