For once, himself, and only his own self, Boromir choose of his own free will to do right.
What a powerful drabble and a wonderful last line! ♥ amazing!

Thank you! Although I should probably pass those along to my muse. ;)

The redemption of Boromir is very important to me; he wasn't an evil person at all, but a person living in difficult times who got caught in-between a rock (the One Ring) and a hard place (his father's desires for Gondor that were passed along to B.) If such a conflicted person can ultimately be redeemed, then I think what Tolkien was saying here is that there is hope for all of us.
