Boxer is a cart-horse, and he is very strong. "A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance, and in fact he was not of first-rate intelligence, but he was universally respected for his steadiness of character and tremendous powers of work." (Orwell 26)

Is also considered to be very dumb and "had great difficulty in
thinking anything out" (Orwell 37).

Mr. Jones is individualistic and only cares for his personal gain. He comes home drunk, and forgets to feed his animals. As such the animals have a negative opinion of him, and with the words of Old Major, they break and take over the farm, disconnecting with all of the aspects he resembled.

Clover is a caring animal. When Clover and Boxer laid down in the barn, ducklings started filing in and wandering around because they lost their mother. "A brood of ducklings, which had lost their mother, filed into the barn, cheeping feebly and wandering from side to side to find some place where they would not be trodden on. Clover made a sort of wall round them with her great foreleg," (Orwell 27). She helped cover the ducklings when she saw that they were wandering around trying to find a place to sleep which shows that she cares about other animals.

Mr. Jones was a respectable farmer and an alcoholic. Due to legal issues, he and his men neglected both the animals and his farm. The animals of the farm eventually drove him out. He can be viewed as the antagonist.

Old Major was the one who opened the animals' eyes to revolution and encouraged the animals to think about a greater future. The text states, "Fix your eyes on that, comrades, throughout the short remainder of your lives! And above
all, pass on this message of mine to those who come after you, so that future generations shall carry on the struggle until it is victorious" (Orwell 30). He also encouraged the animals to work together and treat each other as equals instead of enemies, "All men are enemies. All animals are comrades” (Orwell 30).

Old Major is someone who takes initiative for the rest of the animals.  Since he is close to dying, he imparts his musings on how the humans have exploited them, urging the other farm animals to start revolting. Old Major states, "I do not think, comrades, that I shall be with you for many months longer, and before I die, I feel it my duty to pass on to you such wisdom as I have acquired." (Orwell 27). By beginning to transmit his reflections on governance to the other animals, he is setting a precedent for authority.

Mollie is very individualistic, haughty, and self-entitled. She betrays the Animalism revolution and her animal comrades on the farm to salvage her access to beauty and exclusive praise.

Mollie is a horse that was taken cared of by Mr. Jones. As Orwell describes, "Mollie, the foolish, pretty white mare who drew Mr. Jones’s trap, came mincing daintily in, chewing at a lump of sugar. She took a place near the front and began flirting her white mane, hoping to draw attention to the red ribbons" (Orwell 27).

Old Major is a "purebred" pig, he is the grandfatherly kind of figure in the book, he is the one leading the revolutionary. He is a elder who everyone respects and all the animals echo his dream of humans being evil and all animals are equal.

Quote: “Remember, comrades, your resolution must never falter. No argument must lead you astray. Never listen when they tell you that Man and the animals have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the others. It is all lies. Man serves the interests of no creature except himself. And among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle. All men are enemies. All animals are comrades” ( Orwell 3 ).

Old Major would influence the other farms even after his death into rebelling against their farm owners. He would play the role of Karl Marx in our time, and spread his ideas to the working class, or in this case, the animals. Major mentions to the animals, “Why then do we continue in this miserable condition? Because nearly the whole of the produce of our labour is stolen from us by human beings” (Orwell 28). With this statement from Old Major, it is clear of his thoughts of the current state as "miserable" and that their "labour is stolen." We can infer that since he does not like the current state, as he is giving the animals a reason to rebel for, he will want things to change, and influence the other animals to rebel against their farm owners. If they successfully rebel, their revolutionary ideas will travel from farm to farm and spread further and further.

He draws parallels to Napoleon, overworking the animals for a windmill while doing none of the work needed. Unlike Napoleon, Jones doesn't hid his misdeeds with propaganda nor proper intimidation. It only shows neglect and is only used as leverage to further Napoleon's dictatorship-like deeds, such as expelling and tarnishing Snowball's name along with taking his ideas. It's a reasonable assumption Napoleon will be like Jones close to the end of the novel.

"The two cart-horses, Boxer and Clover, ....You, Boxer, the very day that those great muscles of yours lose their power, Jones will sell you to the knacker, who will cut your throat and boil you down for the foxhounds"(Orwell 26)- Job of disposable labor workers that carry things around.

"Mr. Jones, of the Manor Farm, had locked the hen-houses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the pop-holes. With the ring of light from his lantern dancing from side to side, he lurched across the yard, kicked off his boots at the back door, drew himself a last glass of beer from the barrel in the scullery," (Orwell 25). Mr.Jones is the owner of Manor Farm, but he spends most of his time drinking alcohol.

I think he will either come back at some point or not come back at all (only his name would be used as an example as a terrible dictator). He could also come back as a better person and that could start to make some animals doubt animalism.

"This had long been expected, and all preparations had
been made. Snowball, who had studied an old book of
Julius Caesar’s campaigns which he had found in the
farmhouse, was in charge of the defensive operations. He
gave his orders quickly, and in a couple of minutes every
animal was at his post" (Orwell 54). The quote suggests that Snowball was dedicated to animal.

"'And shall I still be allowed to wear ribbons in my mane?' asked Mollie. 'Comrade,' said Snowball, 'those ribbons that you are so devoted to are the badge of slavery. Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than ribbons?' Mollie agreed, but she did not sound very convinced" (Orwell 36).

Napoleon is incredibly intelligent, and instead of focusing of the present he plans for the future, For ex, He says he has no interest in Snowballs committees and says that the education of the young are more important, and took some newborn young and are teaching them their ideology. (Propaganda /Brainwashing?)

Jones' name is tarnished further as all animals can agree he was a terrible dictator. This may go as far as propaganda to keep the animals working so they never have to deal with him. Napoleon, after kicking out Snowball attempts to dishonor his name by referring to him like Jones.

Mollie is a direct symbol of the bourgeoisie class, harshly persecuted in the USSR and Communist China. Just like the bourgeoisie, she defects from the Rebellion to retain her luxury and status, promised only by the "counter-revolutionary government" (humanity).

“If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right.” And from then on he adopted the maxim, “Napoleon is always right,” in addition to his private motto of “I will work harder" (Orwell 66).

Boxer isn't able to think for himself, this is why he is loyal to Napoleon (almost like the communist party). Whatever Napoleon says, Boxer would listen.

He will definitely continue to manipulate others, assisting the pigs to rise in power. Squealer is likely to manipulate others for selfish reason.

Despite being a house, Mollie is very lazy and cares mostly about her well being. As Orwell points out, "Mollie, it was true, was not good at getting up in the mornings, and had a way of leaving work early on the ground that there was a stone in her hoof. And the behavior of the cat was somewhat peculiar" (Orwell 46).

Jones frequently neglects his tasks to help his animals to get a drink, before going to bed. In addition, Jones seems to be incompetent with his work, as the early stages of Animal farm show the farm flourishing. His prominent trait as a drunkard shows, as the animals believe they must be rid of him to properly move onto Major's dreams.

Squealer definitely represent someone such as Vyacheslav Molotov, who was the Communist propaganda leader, a loyal follower of Stalin. Squealer and Molotov are very similar in their characteristics:
- both are very loyal. Molotov was the prime minister under Stalin; Squealer is the go-between for Napoleon.
- both are intelligent and persuasive with words.
- Squealer is good at over exaggerates or lying. He focuses a lot on the stupidity of other animals. Similar to how, propaganda is spread in the real world.

Jones is depicted as a mistrustful leader, blatantly showing neglect to his animals yet dictating everything in his land. It draws parallels to historical leaders that neglected their people, with the exception of propaganda.
