Ep 172: Boromir's Death — Confession, Death, Last Rites and Such Things in Lord of the Rings
Harry leads a discussion of Boromir's death in Lord of the Rings and notes the allegory it provides to understand sin and reconciliation and last rites.
Boromir becomes enticed by the power of The Ring and his focus away from his Good leads to Sin. He recognizes his straying from the path, shows remorse, confesses and does penance and is reconciled with Aragorn, the one true king.
