Boxer was an “Enormous beast”, standing nearly standing eighteen hands high with the power of two horses put together. He was respected by everyone for his tremendous work and effort in everything he did. He looked a bit silly with a white stripe down his face and did not have that much cleverness but was still respected by all of the other farm animals. He was also devoted to Benjamin and Benjamin was devoted to him. I think Orwell portrays him as a strong and powerful beast.
Boxer harnessed himself to the cutter or horse-rake with his tremendous power. He was the admiration of everybody. From morning to night he worked with his slogan “I will work harder”. I thought that he is a very heroic type of animal and always worked to his limits. It never ceased to amaze me how much he appreciated all the other animals.
The Battle of the Cowshed was a big success, but not for Boxer. The first blow took out a young stable lad from Foxwood. Boxer did not mean to do it. He felt guilty for what he had done. He had no intention of taking a life of a human.
“I had no intention of doing that” said Boxer. Even Boxer was vaguely troubled. He set his ears back shook his mane several times and tried to summon his thoughts. Boxer, who now had time to think, said “If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right”. I think that this is good for Boxer because he does not really do things like think for himself. He puts work before thinking.
The windmill had been destroyed and Snowball, as expected was the main subject and took the blame from Jones. The race was on to get the second windmill built before the winter came. Nothing could have been achieved without Boxer, who had the power of nearly all the animals put together. It was always Boxer who strained himself the most, Benjamin and Clover always told him to watch his health but he never listened.
