Because Boromir was the one who was particularly susceptible to the lure of the Ring. He is a truly good and great man, but he has a dangerous flaw: hubris.
Out of the nine members of the Fellowship, Boromir experienced intense temptation from the Ring while more than anyone. The ring's corruptive influence weighed heavily on him throughout most of The Fellowship of the Ring, until he eventually tried to physically take it from Frodo and… well, you know what happened next.
That is why the Ring corrupted Saruman, though Saruman never even got physically close to it. For Boromir, a basically good man, it was being so near to the Ring but not actually possessing it that corrupted him temporarily. He got so close, but never possessed it, which can often drive a person mad.
But this was not Faramir's original plan. In order to show his father, Denethor, his “quality”, he intended to deliver the Ring to Gondor. It was only after realizing the Ring's corrupting influence that he resisted his temptation and let Frodo go.
The hobbits are perhaps the only creatures in The Lord Of The Rings that can stand against the power of the Ring because of their love of all things good and simple. Not even the elves or wizards are able to fully resist the draw of power or evil.
As for Sam, his resistance likely has to do with his innate goodness and loyalty. His love for Frodo helped him to overcome the pull of the Ring and his inner pureness was never fully pierced by the Ring.
Ring Mechanics. Gandalf is one of the ring heroes of Arda who has access to two different forms when he carries the One Ring. If Gandalf remains a grey wizard, the Ring will corrupt him, turning him into a terrible sorcerer.
The Ring has not tempted everyone. While Gandalf and Galadriel were offered it and tempted directly, others are not. Strider, Gimli, Merry, Pippin, Sam, and Legolas were in the presence of the Ring for months and did not succumb to its influence.
After the demise of Sauron, Éowyn and Faramir marry and settle in Ithilien, of which Faramir is made the ruling Prince by Aragorn. Faramir and Éowyn have a son, Elboron.
After her death Denethor became sombre, cold, and detached, but the relationship between Faramir and his elder brother Boromir, who was five years older, only grew closer, even though Denethor openly favoured Boromir.
Watching Déagol, Sméagol grew jealous and was tempted by the Ring. This extreme jealousy caused him to take the Ring by force, and he “caught Déagol by the throat and strangled him, because the gold looked so bright and beautiful” (Tolkien 58).
Historyedit. Before the Company of the Ring left Lothlórien, each of its members was presented with a gift by Galadriel. Boromir was given a belt of gold which he carried in the journey until the Breaking of the Fellowship.
As a member of the Fellowship, his desperation to save his country ultimately drove him to betray his companions and attempt to seize the Ring, but he was redeemed by his repentance and brave last stand. Commentators have remarked Boromir's vainglory and desire for the Ring.
2001: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring:
Boromir blows it at Amon Hen, three short blows twice. When Lurtz shoots arrows at Boromir, the horn appears broken when the third arrow hits him.
Sauron forged the Ring to amplify his existing powers and to allow him to rule all of Middle-Earth. Frodo and Bilbo didn't even want to run the Shire, let alone the world, hence their ability to resist the Ring for so long!
Aragorn was tempted by the ring, but he was able to resist it, partly because he was more alike to Elendil than any before him - Elendil was wise and friendly with the Elves. If Isildur and Elendil's positions had changed, Elendil would likely have foreseen the evil of the Ring and destroyed it.
Aragorn then tended to Éowyn and Merry, who both returned to consciousness when Aragorn touched and kissed them. All through the night, Aragorn healed the wounded of the city.
However in the book you realize Arwen and Aragorn had loved each other before Eowyn was even born. Originally Tolkien did consider marrying Eowyn to Aragorn but decided against it because he thought Aragorn was too old for her.
She is a shield-maiden of Rohan who helped Gondor fight against Sauron's army. King Théoden told her to stay behind when the Men left to fight, but she decided to come anyway. In the battle, Éowyn kills the Witch-King of Angmar with the help of Merry Brandybuck.
He knew it was not made for dwarves. The Rings of Power were made for a specific race or even for a specific person (like the One Ring Sauron made for himself, to rule all the others).
Legolas tells Gimli that his final count is 42 Uruks.
Despite this, Gimli's personality traits from the books are still present, and his attempt to destroy the One Ring is a perfect example of this. The moment humorously showcases the ring's near-indestructibility while also being the only instance of a character being completely immune to its corruption.
Sauron (pronounced /ˈsaʊrɒn/) is the title character and the primary antagonist, through the forging of the One Ring, of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, where he rules the land of Mordor and has the ambition of ruling the whole of Middle-earth.
The main difference is that, in the books, they were forged after the other Rings, not before. This means that the three Elven Rings weren't imbued with Sauron's malice, making them the most powerful among the Rings of Power — and the most coveted by the Dark Lord.
Put simply, the Elves can't return to Valinor in The Rings of Power because their work in Middle-earth is unfinished. There is far more context to the situation in Tolkien's writing, but The Rings of Power skipped The Silmarillion's complexities regarding Elves and the War of Wrath.
