I think Orwell is saying that equality cannot be achieved for a long period of time, for there will always be people who will think they're more important or treat people like second class citizens

Equality is important but difficult to achive

The dogs are Napoleons private army. They are very brutal and vicious but not in nature, Napoleon trained them that way. The dogs are symbols for the NKVD, Stalin's freaky and powerful secret police force during Russian Revolution. The NKVD helped Stalin round up people and execute anyone who was perceived a threat. The nine dogs in the movie are a violent force who allowed Napoleon to stay in power.

"Nine enormous dogs wearing brass-studded collars came bounding into the barn. They dashed straight for Snowball, who only sprang from his place just in time to escape their snapping jaws."

"He ordered the hens' rations to be stopped, and decreed that any animal giving so much as a grain of corn to a hen should be punished by death. The dogs saw to it that these orders were carried out"

"Napoleon, with his dogs following him, now mounted on to the raised portion of the floor wher Major had previously stood to deliver his speech"

Old major quotes: comrades, you have heard already about the strange dream that I had last night. But I will come to the dream later. I have something else to say first. 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. I have had a long life, I have had much time for thought as I lay alone in my stall, and I think I may say I understand the nature of life on earth as well as any animal now living. It is about this that I wish to speak to you.

Mr jones, the owner of the farm before the animal revolution. He is often drunk, he is an unkind master who indulges himself while his animals lack food. "Mr Jones was too drunk to remember to shut the pop-holes"."Mr Jones is drunk, cruel and an awful leader"

MOSES

A tame raven that is Mr. Jones’s “especial pet.” He is a spy, a gossip, and a “clever talker” (37). He is also the only animal not present for Old Major’s meeting. Moses gets in the way of the pigs’ efforts to spread Animalism by inventing a story about an animal heaven called Sugarcandy Mountain. Moses disappears for several years during Napoleon’s rule. When he returns, he still insists on the existence of Sugarcandy Mountain.  Moses represents religion , which gives people hope of a better life in heaven. His name connects to Judeo-Christian religions specifically , but he can be said to represent the spiritual alternitave in general. The pigs dislike Moses's stories of sugercandy mountain , just as the soviet government opposed religion , not wanting its people to subscribe to a system to belief outside of communism. Through the soviet government suppressed religion aggressively , the pigs on Animal farm let moses come and go and as he pleases and ev

Mollie: Loves being pampered and craves attention from humans, she dislikes her new life on animal farm because she no longer can eat sugar cubes and wear ribbons in her hair, Mollie represents the petit bourgeoisie who filed Russia not long after the revolution. She leaves the farm to go live with "a fat red-faced man"

"Mollie become more and more troublesome. She was late for work every morning"

Clover: She is Boxer's close friend, she suspects the pigs are violating some of the seven commandments, she isn't able to read or write so she can't express herself, but still gets angry at herself for not remembering them. She also tries to stop Mollie from having contact with other people.

"[to clover] do you give me your word of honour that that man was not stroking your nose?"

Squealer is a pig who spreads Napoleon's propaganda, he gives the animals false information.

"We had thought that Snowballs rebellion was caused simply by his vanity and ambition. But we were wrong, comrades. Do you know what the real reason was? Snowball was in league with Jones from the very start! He was Jones's secret agent all the time."

He's very persuasive. He gets a large majority of food compared to the other animals.

'Squealer was so fat he could with difficulty see out of his eyes.'

'Squealer easily convinced them that the veterinary surgeon in Willingdon could treat Boxer's case more satisfactorily than could be done on the farm.'

Benjamin- the long lived donkey who refuses to feel inspired by the rebellion

-Benjamin firmly believes that life will remain unpleasant no matter who is in charge

-oldest animal on the farm and the worst tempered

Quote:

"Donkeys live a long time. None of you has ever seen a dead donkey" (chapter 3)

"There was nothing worth reading" (chapter 4)

"Fools! Fools!""fools! Do you not see what was written on the side of that van." (Chapter 9)

"Why then do we continue in this miserable condition? Because nearly the hole of the produce of our labour is stolen from us by humans" (chapter 6)

"Remember comrades, remember 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." (Chapter 6)

Napoleon: he portrays a mean and vicious character who is the leader of animal farm he is based of Joseph Stalin. He loves power and seems to change his mind he is hypocritical and manipulative. "Four legs are good, two legs are bad." Towards the end of novel Napoleon starts to walk on two legs and people are too scared to stand up to him to say what they believe in because he has the vicious dogs.

"No animal shall kill any other animal without cause." Napoleon decided to change the seven commandments and is being shaped to become a human. Napoleon wasn't keen on humans at the start but slowly drifts from changing the commandments and giving speeches about how the pigs have more authority than any other animal in the farm.

The old commandment before Napoleon changed it was "all animals are equal" but after Napoleon changes it, becomes "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

Napoleons revolution had changed dramatically as he starts to walk on to legs inter reacts with humans drinking, sleeping in beds, playing card games and arguing. "With all the animals staring out side the window " having an idea of what is happening and then Napoleon changes the farm back to Manor Farm and then the animals no what they are in for!

Snowball: Cunning and fair, this pig respects the other animals just as they respect him and leads them well before being driven out by napoleons dogs. He comes up with many good ideas such as the windmill "electricity he said, could operate threshing machines, ploughs, harrows, rollers and reapers and binders, besides supply every stall withits own electric light, hot and cold water and an electric heater". He and napoleon are rivals as napoleon always disagrees with snowball regardless of whether or not he actually thinks it's a good idea, for instance the windmill. At the time, napoleon disagreed with the windmill however shortly after snowball was driven out, he claimed not only that the windmill would be built, but also that it was his idea "on the contrary, it was he who had advocated it in the beginning."

Boxer: boxer is a very large, and very strong plough horse, he did much of the work on the windmill, he is also determined and loyal. He gets up earlier than all the other animals to work, his strength and determination inspires all of the other animals to work, his motto, "I will work harder!" really coveys how he feels about working. He is also very loyal to who ever the leader happens to be, however he is not very bright as although his second motto "napoleon is always right" definetly shows his loyalty, it also show that napoleon is easily exploiting him as a result of his lower intelligence. Boxer was later removed from the farm and taken away to be slaughtered.
