Boromir's Determination In Fellowship Of The Ring

Determination is meant to show how much a person wants to achieve something. It shows what people are willing to endure in order to achieve what they desperately need to fulfill. The difference between Sam, Arwen, and Boromir's determination is how significant the situation is to each individual. In the movie, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring directed by Peter Jackson in the year 2001, Sam nearly drowning in order to keep one of his most important promises, Arwen doing everything in her willpower to keep Frodo alive and Boromir having his life taken just to keep Frodo alive are all examples of determination within the characters and their roles.

In the film, Frodo was on his way to Rivendell when he was stabbed in Weathertop

Throughout their journey, many hardships were faced and although tough, they still managed to overcome them. After Frodo realizing that in order for nobody else getting hurt, he had to do what he was destined to do, by himself. Sam did not agree with Frodo's choice and in result, Sam began chasing after him only to face one of his biggest disabilities… swimming. As Sam began yelling his name and realizing Frodo was not stopping for anything, he instantly got into the water, and began swimming after him. As Frodo admits he is going to Mordor alone while screaming at Sam to turn around and go back, Sam knows deep down that he must help his new brother. “Go back, Sam. I’m going to Mordor alone.” “Of course you are. And I’m coming with you!” Frodo then remembers as Sam continues to get deeper into the water, that he is unable to swim. Moments later when Sam is deep underwater and beginning to drown, the watchers of the film start to realize that this friendship turned into a brotherhood, and that Sam was truly willing to protect Frodo, even if it was the last thing he did. As tears in the two hobbits eyes began to roll down their faces Sam truly showed Frodo what he knew he was meant to do, “I made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise, ‘Don’t you leave him, Samwise Gamgee.’ And I don’t mean to. I don’t mean

One of which was against the fellowship and the other for the fellowship. His city, Minas Tirith, and the people of Gondor were in need of help and Boromir thought that if he were to be in possession of the ring he could use its power to defeat his foes. Boromir’s determination to help his people, as the protector of Gondor, drove him to try and take the ring from Frodo without realizing the consequence. Boromir thought he was doing what was best for his people but eventually his determination to uphold his oath he took when he joined the fellowship made him realize he had made a mistake trying to take the ring from Frodo. “Frodo. What have I done? Please, Frodo. Frodo, I’m sorry!” When Boromir realized that what he had just done was wrong, he began fighting the orcs along with the rest of the fellowship. In order to lead the orcs away from Frodo, Boromir blew the horn of Gondor which caused all orcs to surround him and the fellowship. He was then battling for his life for Pippin and Merry by telling them to run away so their was no harm brought to them. While dueling with the main orc, he gets shot in the chest with an arrow, then a second arrow, but continues fighting. Boromir then caught his breath and remembered what he was fighting for, so he stood back up and continued fighting only to get shot a third time, resulting in his death. “You fought bravely. You kept your honor.” Aragorn giving true recognition for
