Animal Farm
Animal Farm' by George Orwell is a novel which mirrors events in Russia during and after the 1917 Revolution. In 'Animal Farm', there are two characters who represent two different roles. One is Boxer, who represents the hardworking lower class citizen on the farm who is decent, honest and essential to the success of an social system. The other character Mollie, represents the White Russians, who under the Tsar had a privileged life. The two characters are different as they belong to different social classes, and also have different characteristics.Orwell creates these roles for Boxer and Mollie to comment on and share his views of how Communism in Russia was a poor substitute for Socialism. While Orwell would have supported a political system which truly provided equality, he is deeply critical of what happened in Russia under Stalin.Boxer represents those people in Russian society who genuinely were prepared to work hard to see the success of a new society. However, Boxer is too trusting and while he has some misgivings about the exile of Snowball, he cannot see that the society of the Animal Farm is turning into a structured and hierarchical society where the pigs are privileged and the workers like himself are exploited.
She is 'chewing at a lump of sugar', indicating her priorities. However, Mollie enters 'mincing daintily'. Unlike Boxer, Mollie is reluctant to lose her privileges and is not committed to the revolution. The difference in Mollie and Boxer's characters is again seen as Mollie does not share the belief in the benefits of the revolution. Mollie certainly does not intend to work as hard as they do for the new society. For his bravery, he was awarded 'Animal Hero, First Class. When Boxer heard this, without hesitation, he gives up the hat he uses to protect him from flies. On the other hand, Mollie is incapable of making any sacrifices. Jones does not exist in the new system. Even after Snowball's speech, she continued to look for more ribbons to make herself look pretty. Her vanity is seen in the way she shows off her red ribbons. Mollie contributes little to life on the farm and appears to be only interested in what she can use for her own advantage. This emphasizes the loyalty of Boxer, and the selfishness of Mollie. He is determined to work for the farm, which can also be seen by his great contribution to the construction of the windmill. From the opening of the novel, the reader sees how kind and gentle the carthorses Boxer and Clover are towards the other animals.
