They never seem to feel satisfied with their outcomes and work ethics and will blame themselves if anything doesn’t go according to plan. According to Animal Farm, Boxer is troubled when he sees his comrades being killed. Boxer says, “‘I do not understand it. I would not have believed that such things could happen on our farm. It must be due to some fault in ourselves. The solution, as I see it, is to work harder. From now onwards I shall get up a full hour earlier in the morning’” (Orwell 77). When he sees how the killings negatively impact the farm, he blames himself for it. He makes a promise to be stronger for the farm and strive for a better route. Rocky Balboa is also guilty of Boxer’s scenario of blaming himself for not being good enough. According to the movie Rocky, Mickey, Rocky’s trainer, replaces his locker with another boxer because Mickey doesn’t believe in Rocky’s boxing capabilities. This fact can be supported when Mickey says, “‘Because Dipper needed it [the locker]. Dipper is a contender for the title. He is a climber, too. Do you [referring to Rocky] know what you are? You are a

His fierce loyalty and empathetic nature were admirable, yet they also led to his downfall. While there is no real danger in hard work there does come a point when one simply cannot work any harder. Boxer wanted to see the farm prosper so he would work extra hours and if he ever encountered a problem his solution was simply “I will work harder!” Even being of his own free will, Boxer eventually began to lose his freedom by committing to that motto because it bound him not only to the farm but it’s work. This also opened an opportunity for leaders such as Napoleon to eventually assign larger loads of work to Boxer for longer periods of time. Another motto of Boxer’s was “Napoleon is always right.” The problem with this is that no person is always right and the fact that he believed it gave multiple leaders the chance to abuse the power of those words. Napoleon justified slaughtering dozens of animals in front of their comrades. When Boxer spoke up against the action he was hushed by the statement that Napoleon had said to do so. Following the motto and being loyal as he was, Boxer determined that if Napoleon had said it, then it must be

The issue of Boxer, the horse, represents how people are used for their skills and talents. As soon as they are no longer needed, they’re disregarded. Boxer was the hardest worker on the farm, constantly chanting “Napoleon is always right,” and “I will work harder”. He contributed the most to the development of the windmill.
