“Animal Farm” Character’s Symbolic Meaning Paragraph

In the story “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, the character Boxer represents the quality of being brave. For example, he first stepped up for everyone who was hungry and starving for food. He did this by knocking down the door to eat food, and this shows his bravery and leadership. In addition he also led the starting of the revolution. He led the animals to attack the humans when they tried to come out. Boxer was in the front with his head up high and full of courage (and Snowball followed also with great bravery). This shows that Boxer did have courage and did symbolize this trait. Another example would be when he worked hard. He hassled and worked as much as possible. Even without any food he continued, although this is mostly leadership it also contains the trait of bravery, or the act of being brave. Then unfortunately he had to pass, and maybe it was due to excessive braveness. People who are brave do not always prosper, but they get respect. Those people are almost always known for what they did or what they are doing. Being brave is tough but it is a great quality to have.
