This quote shows how Napoleon manipulated the animals so that they were forced to either work unrealistic hours or starve. The pigs represent the Soviet ruling class because they are greedy, lazy, and manipulative. When Napoleon attacks Snowball and drives him to exile he is imitating the way Joseph Stalin drove his former friend Leon Trotsky to death.
Napoleon indoctrinated them innately to fight for him. In turn, the dogs brainwash the farm animals to support Napoleon and influence the way the animals act toward both the pigs and the dogs.
Although most animals on the farm "work to their capacity pg 29 ," the dogs do not work, and instead they eat and protect Napoleon without hesitation. Napoleon slowly turns the dogs from a form of labor to a form of tyranny. Every step toward Napoleon 's totalitarianism is one step further from the farm animals '.
Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure! If the animals banded together they could have stood up against the pigs, and would have had a better chance of realizing that they were being so manipulated. Another example of this is when Napoleon changes one of the commandments for his own good. Foolish people usually put many threats on wealthier people. Boxer is a horse, so he could take Napoleon out.
Boxer represents the hard-working, lower class in the Russian Revolution. The betrayal of Boxer could be viewed as an alternative climax because that is when everything starts to go downhill. A lot of poor people today threaten wealthy. Boxer is a very important character in Animal Farm.
Boxer plays an interesting, but important role in the book, Animal Farm. He is arguably the best character …show more content… One reason is because he is so big and powerful. He could take down Napoleon, the dogs , and the rest of the pigs easily, even Clover, the other cart horse.
Boxer Another reason Napoleon feels threatened by Boxer is because well everyone loves Boxer. Instead of not wanting to turn into humans they eventually do. His knees were bleeding, he had lost a shoe and split his hoof, and a dozen pellets had lodged themselves in his hind leg. Napoleon is threatened by Boxer in those two ways. His favourite sayings are 'Napoleon is always right' and 'I will work harder'. He is the strongest animal and could easily fight off the pigs and dogs. He never does though, as he is too used to taking orders.
Boxer represents the peasant workers of Russia. They were exploited by the Tsar Nicholas II who ruled from until his expulsion in The workers were kept in a position where they never earned enough money to pay for food or accommodation.
The Revolution of sought to address this problem but only led to more hardship and starvation under the rule of Stalin. Looking at this extract from the book, explain why Boxer doesn't lead his own rebellion against the pigs when he is the strongest animal on the farm. How to analyse the quote:. How to use this in an essay:. Despite being the strongest animal on the farm, Boxer cannot lead a rebellion of his own against the pigs. His inability is summed up in just a few quotes.
Firstly, 'If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right,' shows that Boxer cannot think for himself and fears taking the initiative. One of his other quotes is "Napoleon is always right. Snowball poisoned him. He was drunk the night before and now has a hangover. Napoleon betrays Boxer by denying him the right to retire and tricks him into believing that he is going to be treated for the injury he has sustained.
Not only does Napoleon lie but he also betrays the promise which Boxer had been working toward, the right to which he fully deserved. Why did Napoleon attempt to take out Boxer along with the other animals he ordered to kill? We can tell that it was planned because when Boxer deflects the dogs Napoleon changes expression and sharply orderes Boxer to let go of the dog under his hoof. Long live Comrade Napoleon! On the surface it would seem that Boxer is a great loss, as he was the best worker.
However, this does not mean that Napoleon does not benefit. First, Napoleon benefits because he sells Boxer to the knackers. This means that Boxer will be boiled and his connective tissues will be turned into glue. Boxer extolled the gloreis of Animal Farm, and worked very hard to create the windmill. The pigs use him as a model of a hard, loyal worker to get some to work ahrder; the others work harder out of fear of the glue factory.
This is ironic because the pigs are celebrating his death and they purchased liquor with the money from his sale. Napoleon is always right. The film follows the major events of the novel quite closely.
