As I looked at the different definitions of different animals in Newdictionery.com I realized how they symbolic for different sections of society. Boxer symbolized the working class, the sheep the masses, Benjamin the old, squealer the media, and napoleon the dictator.
I think its important to note each role of these characters. Let me begin with Boxer. He shows how the government worked him to his very last ounce of strength. and used him every bit they could. That the workers where always inspired to continue working no matter what happened. This showed that they had complete faith in their dictator (Napoleon). and that their dictator shall work them tell they can't work anymore then kill them for they are weighing down the society and are of no real use to society.
The sheep showed how the masses where stupid and followed the dictator blindly without much thought or care at all.
Benjamin showed how the old knew exactly what was going on but didn't put the effort into stopping it because they didn't their voice would be heard.
Squeeler reveals the medias power of manipulating events that are going on. and blind the masses to the corruption of the dictator
