How does Boxer take away freedom and equality?animal farm book

To be completely accurate, throughout the book
Animal Farm, the animal who is in charge who regularly robs the
other animals of freedom and equality is Napoleon.


If your
question is truly about Boxer, here are a few ideas that might relate. Boxer works so
hard that he doesn't realize that he is constricting himself and others to a life of
work. Because Napoleon knows that Boxer (who represents the Russian working class) "will
work harder" Napoleon counts on this and ultimately promises items to purchasers later
in the book. By being subservient to Napoleon and his rule, Boxer ensures a loss of
freedom and equality for the rest of the
animals.


Ultimately when Boxer is no longer able to serve,
Napoleon has him sent to the "hospital"/knacker. Boxer's presence did always at least
provide a protection of the rest of the animals, but when he is purged from the rest of
the group forever, they no longer have him to stick up for them if he even would have
used his strength to do so. This ensures they will never be
free.
