whom boxer represented in the Russian revolution
As one of the most pitied and sympathized characters in the novel, Boxer represents the finest aspects of the oppressed proletariat classes in the Russian Revolution. Boxer is seen, displaying his devotion, faithfulness, and amazing capacity for labor throughout the book. However, he suffers from what Orwell saw as the proletariat class’s main weaknesses: an ignorant trust in the good intentions of the intellectuals (the pigs) and a lack of keenness to realize even the worst forms of government corruption. Literally used to the bone by the pigs as much or more than he had been by Mr. Jones, Boxer represents the oppressed laboring class. For many animals, he was the inspiration to keep on blindly
working night and day with no complaint. Orwell gives us numerous example of how Boxer would always above and beyond his tasks, from waking up early just to work or lending a hand two other fellow animals. Oblivious to the corruption, Boxer rarely doubted the officials (pigs) and when he did, he would remind himself of his two treasured maxims, "Napoleon is always right" and "I will work harder." Despite his hard work and dedication, the end of Boxer was not a pleasant one. After collapsing amidst construction of the windmill in fatigue, Boxer was supposedly rushed to a luxurious hospital in Willingdon. All the animals are were convinced that their dear comrade had died a peaceful death in the hospital, even though the van that Boxer was carried away in had the knacker's name on it. Only old Benjamin the donkey seemed to realize the pigs' malignity and craftiness as they traded his only friend in for a few caskets of whiskey. Orwell probably arranged Boxer's death the way it was to once again emphasize the denseness of the working class to the brutality of the ones in charge.
