The most sympathetically drawn character in the novel, Boxer epitomizes all of the best qualities

of the exploited working classes: dedication, loyalty, and a huge capacity for labor. Boxer’s
pitiful death at a glue factory dramatically illustrates the extent of the pigs’ betrayal. It may also,
however, speak to the specific significance of Boxer himself: before being carted off, he serves
as the force that holds Animal Farm together. The cart-horse whose incredible strength,
dedication, and loyalty play a key role in the early prosperity of Animal Farm and the later
completion of the windmill. Quick to help but rather slow-witted, Boxer shows much devotion to
Animal Farm’s ideals but little ability to think about them independently. He naïvely trusts the
pigs to make all his decisions for him. His two mottoes are “I will work harder” and “Napoleon is
always right.”
