maintain power , this shows how some leaders can be corrupt and
selfish when they gain too much power. He also uses lies , and

Conclusion about Boxer
Boxer represents the hardworking but exploited working class,
highlighting their dedication and sacrifice. His loyalty and
strength show how corrupt leaders like Napoleon use and betray
those who trust them, offering nothing in return.
His tragic fate serves as a powerful warning about the dangers of
blind loyalty, the loss of individual rights, and the cruelty of
tyranny. Through Boxer’s story, Animal Farm teaches the
importance of questioning authority and fighting against
exploitation.
Hanan & Youssif
Conclusion about Napoleon
• Napoleon shows how power and tyranny can corrupt
and lead to unfair rule. He uses tricks, fear, and lies to
control the animals, just like Stalin did during the
Russian Revolution.
• Through Napoleon, Animal Farm teaches us that good
ideas can be ruined when leaders care more about
power than fairness.
