Mollie Boxer In George Orwell's Animal Farm

A society is comprised of distinctive people and personalities they possess. Some may be stronger with a firing passion within, while others are seen solely as delicate and vulnerable. Only furtive perspectives can recognize the utmost protection the weaker ones need. George Orwell’s novel, Animal Farm, portrays his clear vision of each animal settled in this fascist nightmare of a society of the rebellion. There are pig leaders who are uncontrollable and obsessed with power, barbarically manipulating the vulnerable animals who never deserved the consequences. One can see by examining Mollie, Boxer and Benjamin, that George Orwell examines the necessity of protecting vulnerable members of society in Animal Farm.
