Boxer In George Orwell's 'Animal Farm'

Boxer is a very important character throughout the whole story. He is a strong and naive horse who contributed to tne success of animal farm and animalism only in the best way. Boxer may not be the most educated animal on the farm, but his faith in Napoleon and the fact that he thinks everything can be solved by working harder makes him a very important part of the book. In fact, it is because of Boxer that the others animals did not lose hope for a windmill after its destruction. I think that Boxer is actually one of the reasons the animals did not lose hope at all. Even when injured, Boxer always kept working, waking up earlier than others to provide his help. His slogan ‘’ I will work harder’’ shows his devotion to animal farm and Napoleon, but also motivated the other animals into playing their part in the windmill’s contruction.

For exemple, at page 17, when Boxer kills a human during the first battle, he shows vulnerabilty, and even when conforted by Snowball, we see that he still feels guilty of an act he did not want to commit. Also, Boxer gave a part of his rations to the ones weaker than him, even if the portions were reduced. He was for others, a symbol of strenght. The animals admired him, they were inspired by him and his need to become better. Of course, Boxer does’t have the most complicated character evolution of the book. In fact, it is probably the simplest. Throughout the whole story, the only change that Boxer adapts hi sis second slogan ‘’ Napoleon is always right’’. Boxer is simple minded, he works hard and cares for others. He stays this way the whole book. It shows that from the pig’s point of view, he is valuable, but
