The Breaking of the Fellowship is the tenth chapter of Book Two of The Fellowship of the Ring.
Plot[]
The Fellowship arrives at Amon Hen, near the falls of Rauros with the intention to determine which route to take. Aragorn gives Frodo an hour to decide which route he deems best, but while alone, he is encountered by Boromir, who, seduced by the One Ring, attempts to take it from the hobbit by force. Frodo escapes by using the Ring, but is almost seen by Sauron, before removing it. After this incident, Frodo decides it is safer to travel alone, reasoning that traveling with others can either be a danger to himself, due to the Ring's seductive powers and a danger to those he cares about, as his quest to Mordor will undoudtedly bring evil on his path.
Meanwhile, Aragorn expresses his worries that Frodo is gone for too long and organizes a search for him. Unfortunately, the Hobbits Merry, Pippin and Sam impatiently run into the woods, hoping to find their friend. But Frodo already reached the boats and attempts to leave for Mordor alone and unseen. However, Sam catches up to him and convinces Frodo to take him along.[1] During these moments, Boromir was slain by Orcs back within the woods of Amon Hen.
