Mr. Frederick

There is no character that represents Rasputin. Rasputin was a hated man in the Romanov Dynasty. He was killed on December 30, 1916, and Animal Farm was written in 1944 published in 1945. And even though the beginning of Animal Farm is the revolution against the Romanov Dynasty Rasputin was already dead.

Moses represents religion and religious leaders like Rasputin in “Animal Farm” because he tells the animals about a place where if they work really hard then they can live happily (heaven).

Manor Farm is allegorical of Russia, and the farmer Mr. Jones is the Russian Czar. Old Major stands for either Karl Marx or Vladimir Lenin, and the pig named Snowball represents the intellectual revolutionary Leon Trotsky. Napoleon stands for Stalin, while the dogs are his secret police.

Joseph Stalin

Squealer represents Vyacheslav Molotov who was Stalin’s protégé and head of Communist propaganda. It is also possible that Squealer represents the Soviet newspaper, Pravda. This paper was Stalin’s key to propaganda, and was very powerful to proletarians (represented by Boxer, the horse).

Napoleon

The humans hate Animal Farm because it could encourage rebellious thoughts in their own animals.

What are three new rules the pigs make for their pleasure? They can wear green ribbons, drink, and keep all the barley for themselves.

What new policy did Napoleon decide upon? The new policy was that from now onwards Animal Farm would engage in trade with the neighboring farms: not, of course, for any commercial purpose, but simply in order to obtain certain materials which were urgently necessary.

George Orwell

Snowball seems to win the loyalty of the other animals and cement his power. The cart-horse whose incredible strength, dedication, and loyalty play a key role in the early prosperity of Animal Farm and the later completion of the windmill.

Why does Napoleon cut off the animals’ contact with Mr. Whymper? The animals believe their living conditions are worse now than they were in Jones’s time.

Fifth, he has a pig named Pinkeye taste all of his food to be sure it is not poisoned.

Four dogs are stationed next to Napoleon’s bed and a young pig named Pinkeye is given the task of tasting all of Napoleon’s food before he eats it to make sure it is not poisoned. Pinkeye’s only role throughout the novel is testing Napoleon’s food for poison.

One day, Boxer’s strength fails; he collapses while pulling stone for the windmill. The other animals rush to tell Squealer, while Benjamin and Clover stay near their friend. Soon Squealer announces that the doctors could not cure Boxer: he has died at the hospital.

Pinkeye is Napoleon’s food taster because there are supposed plots to murder Napoleon. Napoleon was in negotiations with both neighboring farms of Frederick and Pilkington to sell a pile of lumber.

It is ironic that Napoleon named the windmill after himself because he had absolutely nothing to do with its construction and did not even come up with the idea to build the windmill. Snowball originated the idea for building the windmill, garnered support for its construction, and even drew up the blueprints.

All the animals are dismayed, and even Napoleon moves a little more quickly than usual to see what has happened. He immediately begins sniffing the ground around the base of the windmill, and soon he announces that Snowball is the one who has destroyed the windmill.
