Boxer: The Most Responsible In George Orwell's Animal Farm

Boxer is shown working his hardest during the building of the windmill as stated in text, “He made arrangements with cockerel to call him three-quarters of an hour earlier in the mornings instead of half an hour” ( Orwell, 61). The windmill symbolize Stalin’s 5 year plans because they represent an attempt to industrialize at the price of grueling and long labour done by the working class or Boxer. The construction of the windmill could not be accomplished without the determination of Boxer like Stalin’s 5 year plans and the working class. These could not be accomplished without Boxer or the working class, which endure long and difficult hours in a failure of an attempt to move their societies forward. This show that some of the major plot point that involve Boxer; also relate to events that the Soviet working class had to

Boxer was an excellent contributor to the hard labor in the farm, and worked extremely hard. For example, after many of the farm animals are slaughtered, Boxer states, “The solution, as I see it, is to work harder. From now onwards I shall get up a full hour earlier in the mornings.”(33). This shows that Boxer is a dedicated worker, because even after the windmill was destroyed, he still decided to work even harder on the next one. This also shows that he is willing to take the stress of the animals that were slaughtered, because he fills in for most of the farm. In addition, Boxer always states, “I will work harder” (29). This shows that although there may be rough circumstances, Boxer is always willing to work. This proves that he is dedicated to his work, by giving his full effort. In all, Boxer is the

Despite this injury and the fact that animals’ morale had been shattered, Boxer began hard work again and refused to take a day off. Boxer only had one aspiration left which was to see the windmill well into action before it was time for him to retire.

Boxer is a very important animal at the animal farm who takes the weight of the problems and puts them on himself and always claims he will work harder. Boxer, the workhorse on the farm, has always worked hard and pushes himself to be better, and to do more. This made all the animals look up to him, more than their actual leader at times. He takes responsibilities that are not even his and excels. Animal Farm by George Orwell shows the many ways the Boxer is an important virtue to the farm and to his friends.

The allegorical novel Animal Farm, was published by George Orwell on August 17, 1754. In the novel the animals represent the Russian Revolution War. The moral of the story is there are animals that live on a farm and Mr. Jones the farmer is the owner. Mr. Jones doesn’t take good care of the animals so this causes the animals to rebel against him. Mr. Jones ends up dying and Napoleon, the boar end up being in charge and doesn’t do a very good job. Boxer, the male horse in the story basically does everything he can to save the farm. In the story Boxer displays that he is loyal, determination, and heroic.

Orwell continues to represent class on the farm through the character of Boxer. Boxer represents the lower, working class who were uneducated and inferior to the nobles and government, in this case the pigs and dogs. ‘I will work harder.’ and ‘Napoleon is always right.’ his mottos show just how loyal and hard-working he was. Boxer would work and work until he was at the point of collapsing and this is just what the working class of Russia would do, slaving away their today for a better tomorrow. Boxer is key in building the windmill, which represents change, the change that Boxer wants to bring to the farm through his hard work and determination. Boxer may have had all these credits but what Orwell uses Boxer to say is that no matter how physically strong you are, it’s nothing compared to knowledge and mental strength. When Napoleon tells Boxer he is to retire after he collapsed whilst working, Boxer naively gets on the van that is not really to take him to where he will retire, but to the knackers’ yard to be killed. Even though Boxer was so driven and committed in what he did, he wasn’t able to spot that Napoleon was tricking him because he wasn’t nearly as well educated as Napoleon. So to cut a long story short, the fact that Boxer was poorly educated eventually lead to his demise.

He starts off, just working a little harder and getting up only 20 minutes early than the rest of the farm, before his passing, he is rising a whole hour before and staying up hours later than the other animals. We get so drawn to his passion for the farm and working hard towards the windmill because these are noble and just actions. George Orwell then has him finally collapse from overworking and later the exterminators show up to seal the deal on his passing away. This loss of Boxer shows us how communism can affect those we love by hurting them, taking them away from us and using all of their time, or even killing

Boxer is a hard working horse that is being taken advantage of by Napoleon. Boxer is unaware of that Napoleon has made him be the main worker of the windmill. Boxer is used by Orwell to show how leaders exploit the working class for their own personal gains. In the literary analysis essay “Animal Farm: An Allegory of Revolution” Valerie Meyers states that Boxer’s role in the novel is to show “the decent working man, fired by enthusiasm for the egalitarian ideal, working overtime in the factories or on the land, willing to die to defend his country” (27).

During the time when they had to break boulders for the windmill, Boxer was the one who always helped the animals to do so. "When the boulder began to slip and the animals cried out in despair at finding themselves dragged down the hill, it was always Boxer who strained himself against the rope and brought the Boulder to a stop," (30). Due to Boxer's strength and determination, he was the only one that was able to compensate for the weight of the Boulder and he was the only one that could stop it. Without Boxer the animals would have never been able to break enough to boulders for the windmill and died out. When Boxer was almost dead because he tried to wake up early and try to break a Boulder by himself, he had fallen and was severely injured.

Across the sprawling grounds and surprisingly dystopian remains of Animal Farm, George Orwell, through his novel Animal Farm, manages to write a novel that not only focuses on the dictatorial tyrants, but the noble animals of the striking farm. Orwell, however, especially makes sure to focus on Boxer, a strong and devoted horse who, despite his highly criticized lack of intelligence, continues to contribute his time for the sake of Animal Farm and its many animals. With the ability to work hard for the good of Animal Farm and the ability to motivate and encourage others, Boxer reaches the epitome of true nobility unreachable by most animals. While Boxer’s determination can definitely be shown through his multitude of actions, Boxer’s best

Boxer was the hardest working animal on the farm. This is shown on page 61 where it says, “Nothing would have been achieved without boxer, whose strength seemed equal to that of all the rest of the animals put together.” This shows how he worked harder than the rest of the animals. Boxer also was simple minded and lived by his mottos which is shown on page 61.

Boxer is a horse that is one of the most hardest workers on the farm and would do anything to make the farm a better place. He is a blue collar worker. That doesn’t get much in return for all his efforts that he puts in on the farm. Boxer also respects his leader Napoleon. He is very loyal to Napoleon and would do anything that he asks. Boxer was on of best workhorse anyone could ask for. He knew how to work the fields and would always work harder than everyone else on the farm. His motivation to work pushed the other animals do just a little bit more after the animals took over the farm. Boxer now felt that working was not that bad because they were working for themselves now and that not for Jones and his men. Now that Jones and his men are gone. Boxer feels that working isn that bad and doesn't mind working anymore, because he is working for himself and other animals now and

In George Orwell's allegorical novel Animal Farm, animals are a deputation for the historical figures involved in the Russian Revolution. The story exemplifies how power corrupts people. To demonstrate, the pigs take over the farm and changed all of the rules for their own benefit. Boxer, one of the main characters, represents the lower class laborers. Boxer kept the farm in order with his indefatigable strength, loyalty to Napoleon, and his ability to work harder than any other animal.

Boxer encourages people to open their eyes and look at reality. Working hard isn't a bad thing. Working hard for a cause you don't quite understand? Not so much. Boxer simply good with whatever Napoleon says with honest belief in them: “Of Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right” (Orwell 66). Even if he doubts what is said,he’ll only feel an obligation to do it. Then, even after all this, Boxer's fidelity is so powerful that he doesn't even listen to his motherly companion, Clover, any longer. After being wounded in the Battle of the Windmill and closing in on retirement age, Boxer still pushed himself to work as hard as possible: “At times his lips are seen to form the words, ‘I will work harder’; he had no voice left” (Orwell 83). Once his lungs gave in, he was betrayed by the one he was must loyal to, and sent to be slaughter. So much for being faithful. People don't always show their true nature. It's our job to be aware and look for suspicious traits. If only Boxer did this, however it is just another lesson

It was announced three days after the ordeal that “he had died in the hospital at Willingdon, in spite of receiving every attention a horse could have” (125), while in the case of the van that took Boxer away, it was told that “the van had previously been the property of the knacker, and had been bought by the veterinary surgeon, who had not yet painted the old name out” (125). It is obvious that Boxer was sold to the knacker, but the animals are not aware because of their gullibility and lacking memories. The pigs, however, planned the sale and cover-up, as later, they somehow bought more whiskey. Trustworthy of their leader, the farm animals foolishly believe the lies, and in turn, reject the death of their friend for the benefit of their leaders. The ignorance continues with an example of mock heroism. After successfully building a second windmill, a group of farmers raid Animal Farm, and among other things, destroy the windmill. After the attackers left, in a surprise, guns were fired, and the farm was called to celebration. Squealer confirms the celebration, stating that “the enemy was in occupation of this very ground that we stand upon. And now — thanks to the leadership of Comrade Napoleon — we have won every inch of it back again!” (110). Looking at the facts, the battle was a major loss. The animals are injured, the windmill is destroyed, but because they chased away the attackers after they finished their task, it
