How does one use allegory, and how can it affect the message it's trying to supply the reader with?
The use of allegory in literature is a powerful tool to indicate messages about society, politics, and human behavior.
In George Orwell's "Animal Farm," published on August 17th, 1945, allegory becomes a lens through where we as readers can see it through the animal's behavior.
Here I chose the two characters Boxer and Benjamin, to gain an insight perspective on the rebellion happening in the book, and to see the characters development and how they act differently.

Uddrag
Benjamin also recognizes Boxer naivety and blindness but chooses to not intervene to change Boxer’s perspective, instead he chooses to distance himself from the rebellion.
He understands the oppressive nature of the ruling pigs but opts for a passive resistance, possibly due to a sense of futility or a belief that nothing will fundamentally change.
Benjamin and Boxer embody contrasting perspectives and roles on the farm. Benjamin, characterized by skepticism and intelligence, he observes the political shifts and acknowledges the manipulations but chooses to be passive.
In contrast we have Boxer, a symbol of unwavering loyalty and hard work, wholehearted believing that his diligence will lead to a better future.
