Most of them works according to their capacity and put in their fair share. Boxer - the carthorse, however, does much more than what is needed. He always strives for more - his personal motto being "I must work harder."

Boxer plays an important role in "Animal Farm." He is hard working, reliable, a dedicated follower to Napoleon but was not of a "first rate intelligence." Indeed, he had a "somewhat stupid appearance." However, it is because of his qualities that Napoleon was able to use him and gain so much power.
