What is the tragedy of Boxer?In Chapter 9.

Boxer's end was very tragic. He was very dedicated and
loyal to the farm, always putting in maximum effort in contributing to the farm, working
his lungs out to try to improve the quality of life in the farm. He gave his own life to
the Revolutionist cause, operating under his own created maxims "I will work harder" and
"Napoleon is always right".



He had also battled
valiantly in the Battle of the Windmill and also worked his socks out to rebuilt the
windmill. But, he soon overworked himself and his lung collapsed soon after. Due to his
injuries, Napoleon deemed him as a liability, as he was unable to work at all, and soon
sold him to a slaughter house to be killed for glue, in exchange for bottles of
whiskey. 

Thus, Boxer's sudden demise was very tragic, and this shows
his gullibility in trusting Napoleon.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
