Animal Farmcharacters from animal farm Asked by on 2/18/2015 2:29 AM Last updated by jill d #170087 on 2/18/2015 2:33 AMAnswers 1Add YoursAnswered by jill d #170087 on 2/18/2015 2:33 AM FrederickThe owner of Pinchfield, the small farm adjacent to Manor Farm. He is a hard-nosed individual who is known for his frequent legal troubles and demanding business style. He cheats the animals out of their timber by paying for it with fake banknotes. Frederick represents Adolf Hitler. Rumors of the exotic and cruel animal tortures Frederick enacts on his farm are meant to echo the horror stories emerging from Nazi Germany. Frederick’s agreement to buy the timber represents the Nazi-Soviet non-aggression treaty, and his subsequent betrayal of the pact and invasion of Animal Farm represents the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. PilkingtonThe owner of Foxwood, the large, unkempt farm adjacent to Manor Farm. He is an easy-going man who prefers pursuing his hobbies to maintaining his land. At the book’s end, Mr. Pilkington offers a toast to the future cooperation between human farms and Animal Farm. He also says he plans to emulate Animal Farm’s low rations and long work hours. Pilkington can be seen to represent the Allies. Allied countries explored the possibility of trade with the Soviet Union in the years leading up to World War II but kept a watchful distance. Ominously, as Friedrich Hayek points out in The Road to Serfdom (1944), communist principles had strong proponents among many Allied nations as well. Pilkington’s unwillingness to save Animal Farm from Frederick and his men parodies the Allies’ initial hesitance to enter the War. Napoleon’s and Pilkington’s poker game at the end of the book suggests the beginnings of a power struggle that would later become the Cold War. Source(s)http://www.gradesaver.com/animal-farm/study-guide/character-list Animal Farm is a novella by George Orwell. It is his only work that is narrated by an anonymous figure that is not a part of the story. Orwell seems to have taken great care while crafting this obviously political allegorical story to
keep his narrator unbiased and apolitical so that the story can shine for what it is. The protagonists in the story are many—the group of animals that have to fight against corruption in politics can all be considered protagonists. In the beginning, they must work to overthrow Mr. Jones, the human that rules over the farm. Mr. Jones is portrayed as lazy and cruel and expects to reap the benefits of the animals’ hard work. Once he is overthrown by the animals, the pigs form a political movement
that helps them rise to power over the other animals. At this point, the pigs and their oppressive regime become the antagonist as the other animals find themselves realizing that their opposition is not necessarily the humans, but any entity or group that seeks too much power to the point where others suffer. Who are the main characters in Animal Farm? Napoleon DescriptionNapoleon Animal Farm – The pig who becomes the leader after the Rebellion which overthrew Mr. Jones and the humans. Napoleon’s character is based on Joseph Stalin and the rise of the Soviet Union. Napoleon tends to resort to military force to intimidate the other animals into submission and support of his politics. Snowball DescriptionSnowball Animal Farm – The pig who challenges Napoleon after the Rebellion. Snowball is based on Leon Trotsky and is an intelligent and passionate orator. Because of this, he wins the support of many of the other animals and thus two opposing political parties struggle for ultimate power over Animal Farm. Squealer Description
Mr. Jones DescriptionMr. Jones Animal Farm – The human who originally ran the farm. He was foolish and often drunk, and the animals took advantage of this when they staged the Rebellion. Although his farm animals suffer, Mr. Jones always was sure to keep himself fed, drunk, and enjoying comforts that were denied to his farm animals. Mr. Jones represents Tsar Nicholas II. Mr. Pilkington DescriptionMr. Pilkington Animal Farm – A neighbor farmer who represents capitalism. Mr. Frederick DescriptionMr. Frederick Animal Farm – Mr. Pilkington’s rival who is untrustworthy. He is said to represent Adolf Hitler. Mr. Whymper DescriptionMr. Whymper Animal Farm – The human solicitor who Napoleon does business with in order to get supplies that the animals cannot manufacture themselves. Clover DescriptionClover Animal Farm – A kind horse who often suspects that the pigs in charge are not entirely what they wish the farm animals to believe. However, she tends to just blame herself for misremembering because it is easier that way. Moses DescriptionMoses Animal Farm – The raven who tells animals that Sugarcandy Mountain is where animals go after a life of hard labor. He says it is a paradise and is worth the hard work that animals endure in life before they pass on. He represents how communism manipulated religion in order to gain followers. Mollie Description
Benjamin DescriptionBenjamin Animal Farm – The donkey who, like Mollie, refused to feel inspired by the Rebellion. He believes that, no matter what, life on the farm will be unpleasant because either way the animals are working so that someone else can prosper. However, he never fully opposes the pigs. Minimus DescriptionMinimus Animal Farm – The poet pig who writes a new patriotic songs after Old Major’s “Beasts of England” has been deemed inappropriate since, according to the pigs, there is no longer any need for a revolution.
