    Violence and Corruption of Leaders “They had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes” (Orwell 87) This is the scene for George Orwell’s Animal Farm, where pigs take over governmental rule after driving out the tyrannical Mr. Jones. Although the new government was designed from ideas of equality, corruption amongst the pigs leads to a reign of terror equal to or worse than that of Mr. Jones. Orwell’s intention in writing Animal Farm was to indirectly critique the ruling of the newly formed Soviet Union, therefore many characters in the novel are related to prominent leaders after the Russian…

    Boxer’s mottos such as “I will work harder” reveals his devotion to the animals cause and his desire to make animal farm better than it was. Boxer's other motto “Napoleon is always right” reveals his childlike dependence on an all-knowing leader, in this situation, Napoleon. Even when he collapses after working himself to death over the rebuilding of the windmill on the farm, his first instinct and thought were not about him but about the work and the farm. “It’s my lungs…it does not matter. I think you will be able to finish the windmill without me.”…
