Effective Animals

George Orwell used animals to help portray the satire of Animal Farm. Animal Farm critisizes the Russian Revolution with comparsions of characters and events.

The characters in Animal Farm are mainly animal with a few main humans. Each animal uses their natural characteristics to become a comparison of the character of the book.

The character Boxer, a horse, represents the working class of Russia. Boxer works hard for the good of the farm until the leader, Napoleon, discards of the horse when Boxer becomes broken and useless in his work.

The use of a prize horse named Mollie as the upper class as Russia worked just as well as Boxer worked for the working class of Russia. Mollie does not care for the arguments of the farm and would rather live in her comfortable lifestyle rather than work with the rest of the animals.

George Orwell used animals to compare his novel with the Russian Revolution.
