Boromir - An example of a man? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Perhaps a good example of an "ordinary man" and how said would
react is Bard the Archer. In fact the whole political Esgaroth situation
is the closest to Democratic in Middle-earth (hobbits are more
minimalists-and unknown to them, really protected). Would Bard's
grandson Bard II have used the Ring? Very likely when the Lonely Mountain
was besieged, although perhaps temporarily advised against it by the nearby
ally elves. And no, I haven't seen PJ's latest assault on The Hobbit. The first
was enough.
