Nasty business; still, they're all in one piece. [No thanks to your burglar.] He had the nous to play for time. None of the rest of you thought of that.

The Recovery
I can imagine that Elrond would have barely left Celebrían’s bedside whilst she was recovering and I can’t be convinced otherwise.
I will take each and every one of these dwarves over an army from the Iron Hills. For when I called upon them, they came. Loyalty, honour, a willing heart; I can ask no more than that.

in Fellowship of the Ring, Boromir carries his shield the entire time, symbolizing his role as a protector. he's always looking out for the hobbits and is often one of the first to speak up on their behalf (Caradhras, and after Gandalf's death, for example). however, he leaves his shield before confronting Frodo when he is under the influence of the Ring, essentially abandoning his role as a protector and attacking Frodo (it's also interesting to note that the only time he doesn't have his shield is when he is not himself). when he is back to being himself, he still doesn't have his shield, but he uses himself as a shield to protect Merry and Pippin, back to his role as a protector (causing his death). anyway i'm just thinking about how Boromir's shield is representative of him and his role in the Fellowship.
