The Role Of Mensheviks In George Orwell's Animal Farm

Boxer’s qualities directly relate to the Soviets working class due to his intelligence level. It is established that Boxer is not the most academic oriented animal in the farm as stated in the text, “Boxer could not get beyond the letter D” (Orwell, 33). The working class during this era were not given educational opportunities which prevented them from achieving a higher intelligence and better jobs in society. However, this is an is an enormous flaw in both parties because it allows someone like Stalin or Napoleon to take control over them and allow them not to think for themselves which happens in both Animal Farm and

Another example of Boxer’s strong personality in times of hardship is the night in which the executions of the animals that admitted to having been deceitful to their fellow comrades by taking Snowball’s side took place and Boxer stated that to overcome the faults amongst the farm’s animals, he was going to work harder.

As soon as the revolution starts, Boxer is more devoted than ever to the farm. At the Battle of the Cowshed, Boxer is trying to prove his loyalty to the farm by defending the animals against a stable boy with kicking him with his hoof. “I will work harder.”(Orwell 25)The quote reveals his hard work and devotion to other animals and the farm. Though Boxer is very strong, he is also very naïve. The pigs bossed him around, being blindly loyal to Napoleon. “Napoleon is always right”(Orwell 48) When he says this, it demonstrates that he does not understand that the pigs are using him. He believes that everything Napoleon says is just. While others are trying to learn how to read Boxer does not feel the need he only wants to work harder for the good of the animal farm. Unfortunately, at the end of the book, he is so worn down that he cannot work anymore, so the pigs make the decision to send him to be slaughtered. At this point Boxer realizes that pigs have used him and was not loyal to the animals like he was. Boxer represents the Russian working-class in the Soviet

Boxer has a very important allegorical meaning in the book Animal Farm, as he represents the workers and laborers during the Russian Revolution. In the book, Boxer is a very strong horse, who is stronger than everyone else on the farm. Despite having immense strength, he lacks knowledge and often cannot think straight. This can be seen in the quote, “Napoleon is always right”. The idea that Boxer has developed is incorrect, as it states that everything Napoleon says or does, is justified. Due to this, Napoleon is able to kick Snowball out of the farm. Boxer has no idea of how his physical ability is being used and continues to exhibit his kind and hard-working attributes, as can be seen in the quote, “I will work harder”. This quote implies

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.

Stalin told his people that the plan would fix the failing economy of the USSR. He put together enormous, collective farms with the idea of increasing the food supply and stabilize a self-sufficient economy, but the opposite effect haunted Soviet Russia. Napoleon creates the Windmill to “better the lives of the animals.” He believes that the creation of this windmill will increase their food supply and lessen their workload, however, the animals end up working harder with less to show for it. The leaders created these plans for the benefit of the people, but the citizens suffered under the hand of these leaders. These plans failed. Napoleon sells wood to Frederick to pay for the farm’s expenses, which represents Nazi-Soviet Relations. Napoleon receives the money for this wood he sells, but Frederick really gives him forged bonds. This means Napoleon gave the wood away for free, and he becomes livid about this. After he forges the bonds, Frederick tries to invade and overtake Animal Farm. This greatly resembles the pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, where both countries agreed to divide Eastern Europe amongst themselves. Hitler broke the pact and attempted to invade Russia through land they had previously divided, but this invasion failed. Both the Nazis and Frederick betrayed the lands they formerly created an alliance with. They gained the other lands’ trust

Throughout the story, Boxer displays loyalty towards the leaders of the farm. For example, one of Boxers personal favorite mottos is “Napoleon

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.

Boxer is described as a hard working but lacking in wisdom and ignorant horse. Boxer worries about the farm, but he's not smart enough to put together that the enemy is Napoleon. Since he isn't a bright horse, he doesn't think for himself; he decides to be loyal no matter what to follow the party as in, Communist party line. After Snowball is sent into exile, Boxer tries to think for himself and make his own decisions but he can't come up with anything besides, "If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right," (Orwell). He takes up a new personal motto: "Napoleon is always right" (Orwell). This shows how Napoleon used manipulation to make the animals fall under his command. Due to Boxer being ignorant, but

The quote shows how mentally and physically tired Boxer really is because he actually “had no voice left”. The pigs have been forcing all animals to work extra hard on the construction of the windmill. However, Boxer is slowly losing all

Animal Farm is an allegory of the period in Russian history between 1917 and 1944. It is a satirical story written in the form of an animal fable. In writing Animal Farm as a fable, George Orwell is able to present his subject in simple symbolic terms by treating the development of communism as a story that is taking place on a single farm with talking animals. The characters of Animal Farm represent figures in Russian history during the Russian Revolution. Places, objects, and events of the Russian Revolution are also symbolized in Animal Farm.

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

Animal Farm by George Orwell is a novel where animals represent historical figures from the era of the Russian Revolution. For instance, Benjamin represents George Orwell or other people who were not enthusiastic about Stalin’s government. Benjamin and I share a lot of similar traits. He and I are sarcastic, stubborn and quiet. Benjamin is an extremely sarcastic animal in numerous situations.

Everything that happens in the book happens because a similar event happened in the Russian revolution. 'Animal Farm' is a moral satire. It is predicting what will happen to communism in Russia and the

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
