Sympathy Of Boxer In Animal Farm

In this allegorical novella, the book reflects actual historical events leading up to the Russian Revolution and into the Stalin era while characters reflect important political figures during this time such as the corrupt leader Napoleon serving as a representation of Joseph Stalin. What builds this tale is the objective recanting of the events in third person from the point of view of the common animal. However, there is one character in the novella Orwell wrote that drew the most sympathy—Boxer.
In the novella, it is clear that Boxer is the embodiment of the working class. Boxer is a fiercely loyal follower of Napoleon and is an exemplary member of the community, essentially carrying Animal Farm on his back. As such that in the novel, it

is referenced many times that he is always present where there is the most work to be done and that he is the reason they are able to sustain themselves. His blind devotion and trust in political authority making him susceptible to exploitation by the ruling class in their society.
