Which character has won your support in Animal Farm?Explain why you are partial to this animal and what qualities he or she has that creates these...

Boxer was the character that I found the most appealing.
 There is so much inherent sadness within him and his relentless spirit of work and
selflessness is what is manipulated by Boxer.  I cannot seem to shake him as a character
that speaks volumes about the glory and curse of consciousness.  That being said, I
think that over time I have appreciated an understanding for Benjamin.  I like the
aspect that he is the alienated misanthrope that is convinced that nothing will change.
 Yet, in a moment of realization, he is moved to action and seeks to help out someone,
his friend, in need.  He understands the futility of what he does and yet, he does it.
 In this respect, I find him perhaps even more sad than Boxer.  I liken Benjamin to a
sad version of Rick Blaine from "Casablanca."  There are parallels.  The cynic who
speaks of fruitlessness of human action, the belief that the "system is rigged," and the
idea that despite all of this, there is some calling that compels them to action and to
believe.  The difference would be that Rick's acts are probably more successful than
Benjamin's.
