Even after knowing his loyalty towards Napoleon, he treated Boxer in an unjustified manner. All that mattered for Napoleon was that his slave would work for him until their last breath and when they were of no use, like in this case, Napoleon sent weak Boxer to the glue-boiler. This action of Napoleon portrays the different way of respect shown to the pigs versus other animals on the farm.
In the beginning of the story, the farm was run by Mr.Jone and his men under whom the animals suffered every day. They felt that they had too much labor on them to keep the farm running the humans did not care a lot about these animals. Soon enough all the animals in the farm “united” to fight against this power over them to establish an equal form of living on the farm. Their unity in this fight lead them to success but in the current situation, under Napoleon’s rule, the animals are afraid of unity and fight. Each animal had a different opinion in the result of their protest and are frightened to raise their voice. In a perfect society, all the citizens, in this case, the animals, join together to fight for their cause.
