Boxer is a fictional character in George Orwell's Animal Farm. He is the farm's most hard - working and loyal laborer a draft horse. Boxer serves as an allegory for the Russian working - class who helped to oust the Czar Nicholas and establish the Soviet Union, but were eventually betrayed by the Stalinists.

Answer:

It emphasizes loyalty and ignorance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Boxer is the strongest draft horse in the farm. He works harder and harder everyday and his motto is 'Napoleon is always right'. Orwell meant Boxer to represent the working class in the Soviet Union. People who were the engine of the revolution, who worked long harsh hours in different places like coalmines, factories and fields. Those people barely had time to get an education. So, they actually did not understand what the government was doing in the Soviet Union. They were lied to and believed in every piece of propaganda that the Stalinist government published. Just as in the book Boxer is unfairly slaughtered, most working class people in the Soviet Union were brought down to hunger and poverty to the point of almost dying.
