He exist primarily to show how even the most honourable, badasses, who only want to save his people will end up falling to the corrupting influence of the ring.
>>211487675 (OP) he resents the others who dont understand his burden of being the last price of men or something like that isn't there a scene in the woods where he basically cries to aragorn about that and admonishes him for denying his bloodline?

>>211487675 (OP) non stop wrestling with temptation. greatness and power was within his reach but he knew it would doom him.
he knows he's inferior to aragorn in every way and that he only has his station in life because aragorn doesn't really want it.

>>211490117 this boromir simply had a bigger need for the ring that the others he wasn't a bad person at all, him and denethor are the best written characters in the book but hackson didn't do them justice, especially denethor got butchered
