Eulogy For Boxer

”(p.125 Orwell, Animal Farm) In his word, the animals can see that Boxer really want the windmill plan to be done. In a Sunday morning, Napoleon appear in the meeting and pronounced a short oration in Boxer’s honour. At the end of the speech he said, “Comrade Napoleon is always right.

Whenever the other animals start to doubt Napoleon, Boxer reassures them that “If comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right” (Orwell 82). Boxer and the other animals on the farm get mistreated in many ways such as, Napoleon takes away their food rations while the pigs and dogs get a large amounts of food and better living conditions. If Boxer wasn't on the farm the book would be different in many ways because the animals would have probably turned against Napoleon by now. The animals wouldn't have anyone to look up to or have to encourage

He always obeyed and pushed himself to work with Napoleon’s new world. With words such as “‘I will work harder’!” (Boxer, pg. 29 and 56) and “‘Napoleon is always right’” (Boxer, page 56) Boxer was what many would consider a true soldier or citizen of Animal Farm.

The greed of power will always blind the leader’s judgment. Napoleon was not excluded in this matter as he often takes advantages knowing that the animals cannot read or write. Although there are many examples to support this fact, but one stands out the most, Boxer’s ending. As can be seen throughout the story, Boxer is the one who worked hard for that farm’s welfare from the beginning to the end. His never-failing cry of ‘I will work harder’ often inspired the rest of animals to work hard despite facing failures such as destruction of the windmill for the second time.

Using the examples of Napoleon and Boxer this essay will discuss the truths of human nature and express the traits of these characters both good and bad including; loyalty and obedience as well as selfishness and greed. Napoleon represents the corrupt political dictators that have been in power before and even after the novel was written. He slowly and subtly put himself into power of the farm and was very manipulative in the way he got there. The animals were always ensured that everything he did was for the good of the farm but as the book goes on Napoleon’s hunger for power is revealed.

Boxer was forgotten except by the few who knew him. ”(Orwell, 142) Orwell presents a sad tone as he mentions that many animals, including Mr. Jones have died, and the memories of Snowball, Boxer, and the dreams of Old Major have been forgotten. Orwell also uses a threatening tone on how the dogs and pigs seem to be very powerful and all the animal farms are running away in fear. The tone of novel changes from the beginning to the end.

The animals start recognizing Napoleon for any good achievement done that day. For example, one of the hens recognizes Napoleon for just one stroke of good fortune. “Under the leadership of our Leader Comrade Napoleon, I have laid five eggs in six days…”(78). These poor animals are tricked into thinking that everything good that happens is due to “Comrade Napoleon's Leadership”. Every quote we see is a deeper level of corruption in Napoleon, and now, his influence on the farm is tearing what the revolution was all about.

A masterpiece in its own right, it reflects a story that illustrates the brave and courageous acts of those who valiantly fought. The soldiers, regardless of which side they represent, pushed through their fear to become men of honor and valor. Many perished and those who survived are cursed to remember it. It reflects the sentiment that “Courage is more than charge; More than dying or suffering. The loss of love in silence or being gallant; It is temperament and, more, wisdom”

"The seven commandments would be inscribed on the wall; they would form an unalterable law by which the animals must live by forever," said Snowball. "For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out what was written on the wall-All animals are equal. Some are more equal than others." Theme 1: Animal Farm is most famous in the West as a stinging critique of the history and rhetoric of the Russian Revolution. Retelling the story of the emergence and development of Soviet communism in the form of an animal fable, Animal Farm allegorizes the rise to power of the dictator Joseph Stalin.

Boxer is also supposed to be sent to the vet to be healed, but apparently dies. However, in reality Napoleon sent him to the glue factory and used that money to buy whiskey. Now this character is the one treating the animals unfairly, Napoleon. He didn’t

When the pigs introduce punishment and a death sentence for committing crimes against Animal Farm, many animals are ‘slain on the spot’, moreover, this is the first time since Jones’ displacement when there is blood spilt on the farm. Napoleon creates his own personal guards, who also punish the lower animals who betray Animal Farm. These ‘dogs wearing brass studded collars’ are a force none of the working-class animals wish to cross, for when they do, harsh repercussions follow. The animals that had confessed to their heinous crimes were executed by the dogs who ‘tore their throats out’. By doing so, the animals experience physical fear for the first time since Animal Farm was formed.

Boxer, Clover, and Mollie are horses that represents the working class. Boxer portrays the proletariat workers because they are unskilled laborers. He is a cart-horse who has incredible strength, dedication, and loyalty towards Animal Farm. Boxer is not the most intelligent animal on the farm, but without him, nothing on the farm would be accomplished. Clover is a female cart-horse who is a friend of Boxer’s

(Orwell, 122). Napoleon started to loose control when the animals realized that Napoleon had lied to them. This is when Squealer steps in and lies the other animals to make it seem like Boxer really was taken to the doctor, and

the animals begin to yell for Boxer to escape but he couldn 't, the animals were livid that their leader would send his on people to the

He is among his fellow soldiers during a bloody bombardment when he describes how the war has changed him and his comrades. “We have become wild beasts. We do not fight, we defend ourselves against annihilation . . . overwhelmed by this wave that bears us along, that fills us with
