hello

Boxer is a fictional horse from George Orwell's Animal Farm, he is the farm's most hard-working and loyal worker!. He serves as an allegory for the Russian working class who helped oust the Czar and establish the Soviet Union, but were eventually betrayed by the Stalinists!.

Boxer is the tragic avatar of the working class, or proletariat: loyal, kind, dedicated, and strong!. By contrast, he is not very clever and seldom progresses beyond the fourth letter of the alphabet!. His major flaw, however, is his blind trust in the leaders, and his inability to see corruption, leading to his manipulation and abuse by the pigs in more or less the same manner as he was by Jones!.

When Boxer defends Snowball's reputation from Squealer's revisionism, the pigs designate the workhorse as a target for the Great Purge, but he easily outmuscles his canine executioners, sparing them at Napoleon's request!. His eventual death serves to show just how far the pigs are willing to go — when he collapses due to working too hard, the pigs supposedly send him to a veterinarian, when in fact he was sent to the knacker's yard to be slaughtered and made into dog food and glue, in exchange for money to buy a case of whiskey for the pigs, in what is perhaps their single most despicable action!.

Ironically, during Old Major's speech which inspired the principles of animalism (Animalism is an allegorical mirror of the Soviet Union and the ideals of Communism)a specific reference is made to how he would be turned into glue under Jones rule, thus implying that it would not happen to him under Animalism!. This is possibly a further decline from animalism to Napoleon's government!.

in a nutshell !.!.!. boxer represents the worker, who follows the communist govt without question,but as soon as he is unable to work due to overwork etc !.!.!.!. the leaders turn on him !.!.!. ie!. have no loyalty towards their supporters !.!.!. and swop him for alcohol

notes

Napoleon is a fictional character in George Orwell's Animal Farm!. While he is at first a common farm pig, he takes advantage of the animals' uprising against their masters to eventually become the tyrannical "President of Animal Farm," which he turns into a dictatorship!. (ie!. joseph stalin)

Animalism is a fictional economic or political ideology in George Orwell's novel Animal Farm!. Animalism is an allegorical mirror of the Soviet Union and the ideals of Communism, particularly between the 1910s and the 1940s, as well as the evolution of the view of the Russian revolutionaries and government of how to practice it!. (communism)
