Boxer a strong work horse, strong yet not very smart he doesn't always think things through by himself he does the things he is told to do.Boxer throughout most of the story is a strong and loyal animal but when napoleon says false things like when he said the human invaders had been helped by snowball boxer had looked deep into his memory, he knew he saw snowball get shot in the back and how he had bravely lead them into battle. Boxer had showed such strength and loyalty that napoleon had used both to his power hungry ways from him working hard for the windmill; napoleon had started to give the animals less and less food because since the pigs were so smart they need all of the food in the world.
Boxer a most loyal comrade was also in way gullible to what he was told. He was told that napoleon was a great leader and that under the guidance of napoleon then they shall all stay alive and well and not have to bother with the humans. Boxer had not been the most intelligent animal but he could think and remember very faint things from his memories, when he saw how the pigs were getting

As boxer got older he lost much of his strength and the only reason he was still pushin on was because he had wanted to finish what he had started for the animals. Boxer had known he would sooner or later die because of all the work he had put into building the windmill but that didn't stop him from pushing on and continuing the work hard so he could get enough stone to help out the animals for the windmill. Boxer had lead by example to all animals to never give up hope and to keep pushing, he even helped the other animals when they needed help with something. The pigs on the other hand did not love boxer as the other animals all did, the pigs showed no love for they had only used him as another chess piece in their game to secure

Boxer, who now had time to think, said “If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right”. I think that this is good for Boxer because he does not really do things like think for himself.

    Orwell's 'Animal Farm' is an allegory because it represents Stalin's rise to power in Russia. His dictatorship to the people of Russia is how Napoleon treated the animals on the farm. Napoleon the pig represents Joseph Stalin, the dictating leader of the Soviet Union. Napoleon tricked the other animals into believing he was the only one that wanted the best for them. He slowly brought the farm from a more equal state to a state where he was considered and treated as a king. He also murdered any of the animals who opposed him or stood in his way, without trial. Stalin did the same by consolidating power and expanding the limits of his role. He eliminated anyone who tried to oppose him. He organized a massive purge where "enemies" were imprisoned,…

He blindly trusts Napoleon without a second thought which only made it easier for Napoleon to manipulate them and do whatever he wanted to. In short, Boxer helped Animal farm develop, but he also brought it to its doom. Sadly, he only realized what was going on when he was being brought to his death,…

    The animals on Jones’s farm hate humans and believe that they should not be treated the way they are because they are forced to do all work on the farm. One night the animals meet together and discuss the issue. They come up with the solution of forcing Jones and his wife out of their farm house. At this meeting they are also taught a song called “Beasts of England.” This soon becomes the anthem of animals all over. “The singing of this song threw the animals into the wildest excitement. Almost before major had reached the end they had begun singing it for themselves. Even the stupidest of them had already picked up the tune and a little bit of the words and as for the clever ones such as the pigs ad the dogs they had the entire song by heart in a few minutes.”…

Napoleon can be compared to Joseph Stalin because he uses his nine attack dogs to intimidate the other animals and control his power.

    One of the creatures that consistently bought into Napoleon’s antics was Boxer. Boxer was a great asset to the farm; working overtime to make sure everything was completed seamlessly. He took his job very seriously and looked to Napoleon as a mentor and friend. He was so fond of the boar that he created this maxim, “Napoleon is always right.”(5.22) Idolizing a pig instead of the God that Moses preached about is a tragic occurrence. Boxer was so brainwashed and molded that he was convinced to believe that his enemy was superior to God. Possibly the grossest example of corruption is when Napoleon sends Boxer off to be slaughtered for profit after the horse is injured while fighting for Napoleon. This shows how corrupt the farm is. The pigs in charge are willing to send one of their so-called ‘equals’ to be slaughtered, breaking the commandment, No animal shall kill any other…

    Aside from the pigs and dogs on Animal Farm, the other animals were not that smart. Most could not learn to read or write like the pigs and were very easily convinced by Squealer that their memories just deceived them sometimes. Boxer was perhaps the worst victim of this deception. Boxer, a big strong horse, was very excited by the revolution. His motto was ³I will work harder.² He would get up early in the morning to do extra work because he wanted the farm to prosper. Sometimes when things did not always seem right, he would think about it for a while…
