Old Major has realized that there has been a lot of unfair conditions from their owner, Mr. Jones. He is one of the most respected animals on the farm, due to his age and wisdom. He is the one who speaks at a meeting about how unfair man treats animals, especially the horses. He wants to form a rebellion against their owner, whether it be in a week or a hundred years. However, three days later, he died, and the rebellion takes place soon after. I believe that Old Major is best connected to Vladmir Lenin and his studies of Karl Marx.

Old Major  was very highly regarded on the farm and knows that the other animals will listen to what he has to say. Old Major was 12 years old who had grown rather stout,  but he was still seen as a wise and benevolent looking pig.  He had a dream which he told the other animals about, his teachings were labeled as "animalism".  Old Major is very similar to Vladimir Lenin from the Russian Revolution.

Being a pig, he is quite smart just like the other pigs. He is mostly known for being a really good persuader to the other animals on animal farm, by using his words and his swinging tail he is able to persuade the other animals to do whatever he proclaims . He also seems to be keeping propaganda that's from Napoleon away from the other animals, seems like him and Napoleon are in on a little secret of some sort. Another thought which was thought up of was that animal farm resembles the Russian Revolution in. I believe Squealer resembles the propaganda government of Lenin since he does persuade all the animals to do what Napoleon wants, and the government that worked for Lenin kept information from civilians.

She drew Mr. Jones's trap before the Rebellion. She is kind of girly and described as dainty. She can also be seen as a favorite pet, as she usually gets lumps of sugar and has ribbons braided into her mane. She seems to be vain, mostly because she does her best to show off anything she has hat others don't. I think that Mollie is the High class people who after the revolution had no class and were knocked down from their status because she was a favorite pet, and now she is just another animal working on the farm.

The animals describe him as though he is as strong as two horses combined. Boxer is very loyal to the rebellion, he is the role model worker for the other animals. In Animal Farm Boxer asks the rooster to wake him up earlier then the other animals, so he can get more work done. Boxer is the main worker in Animal Farm. Boxer resembles the ideal worker for someone of power.

Benjamin is old and is used to how things were in the past with Mr. Jones and realizes that things might be as good as they used to be but so far the circumstances on the farm are no worse. He doesn't really talk but when he did it was either cryptic or some cynical remark. When ask why he didn't laugh, he would remark that there was nothing to laugh about, proving that he never wanted to give a straight answer to any question he was asked. Including whether or not he liked things better that Mr. Jones was gone. He wouldnt even answer the question when asked by Boxer a cart-horse that Benjamin was loyal to even if he wouldn't admi. All this concludes to that the old donkey, Benjamin is a grumpy skeptic subject.

Old Major was respected by all of the animals. Old Major's ideals and and teachings were declared "animalism". Old Major's speeches and ideas on how animals should live is what caused the rebellion. Old Major never lived to see the rebellion take place.

Old Major is similar to Leon Trotsky from the Russian Revolution.

Napoleon seemed to continue Majors' teachings, but in a way that only really benefited him and the other pigs. It seems like Napoleon closely resembles Joseph Stalin. Napoleon is described as a fierce looking pig who liked to get his own way. The same went for Stalin, and while he wasn't the biggest man alive, he certainly was intimidating in a way and managed to get millions of people to do what he told them to.

Mr. Jones has become an alcoholic after losing money in a recent lawsuit. His addiction made him negligent of his animals. Mr. Jones also became lazy after the lawsuit," the fields were full of weeds, the building wanted roofing,", from the excerpt provided it is clear that Mr. Jones is very lazy. Mr. Jones can be compared to Czar Nicholas (the second) from the Russian Revolution.

They include Pincher, Bluebell, Jessie, and Bluebell and Jessie's puppies. The three adult dogs are pretty average as far as what they do and no real connection can be drawn, the puppies in the other hand are a different story. Just after the puppies were born Napoleon took them from their parents and started raising and teaching them himself. This makes me draw the conclusion that the dogs are the Russian/Soviet secret police. The secret police were loyal to Stalin and carried out his dirty work. As I believe that Napoleon is Stalin it is only natural to draw the conclusion that these stolen puppies will be his secret police.

Many see him as the main leader. He tries to take over Old Major's role by doing what seems right for the farm, even if it is not of the norm. Snowball is very inventive and good hearted. He represents Leon Trotsky, for his good nature and noble leadership.

She is also one of the more favored animals on the farm, she gets more privileges such as sugar cubes and pretty ribbons in her hair. When the whole rebellion started she was unhappy with having to give up these privileges. Mollie would also avoid doing her work unlike the other animals that actually looked forward to doing their work, at one point she actually ran off and abandoned the animal farm. Mollie seems to resemble a rich upper class person that was knocked down from upper class in the Russian Revolution.

Mollie is a white horse with a white mane too. She's used to getting more than the other animals since she's Mr. Jones' favorite. Her role in the Russian Revolution most likely would be the upper class. Like Mollie, the upper class citizens would get more luxuries and opportunities than the lower class. In Mollie's case, she gets more sugar than the other animals and she gets to wear pretty ribbons.

She is what we would refer to as a girly girl, someone who is overly concerned with their appearance. She is also frightened more easily than the other animals, When Jones and his men came back to regain control over their farm, she went hiding in her stall with her head buried among the hay in the manger. She had taken flight as soon as the gun went off. Mollie resembles the vain, selfish people of Russia in the Russian Revolution.

Squealer is one of the many pigs that lives on the farm. He
is a very brilliant talker with a shrill voice. He is also very persuasive. He
is one of the most known porker on the farm. He has very round cheeks,
twinkling eyes, and had very nimble movements. He speaks out for an older pig
named Napolean and tells them of what he has to say, because Napolean does not. Squealer on the farm represents a form of Stalin's propaganda  in the Russian revolution. He can control the flow of information.

Old Major up and bred him for shows and contests under the name of Willingdon Beauty. It's heavily implied that Old Major was a marxist, for he believed in equality among animals. Old Major was only portrayed for a short bit of the book, but he plays an immensely important role in the revolution.
Old Major played the role of igniting the revolution. He inspired the other animals, the pigs mainly, to revolt against the oppressive humans who had neglected them for so long. This is why I believe that Old Major has a strong link to representing Karl Marx, but he could just as well (okay not just as well) represent Vladimir Lenin.

Ever since after the rebellion, Boxer has helped work on the farm and even gets up a half an our earlier to help with volunteer labour on the farm which makes him admired by the other animals for his strength. Boxer has always gone with his motto which is that he will work harder whenever he has to work at the farm which drives his determination to help get things done. Although Boxer isn't the smartest animal on the farm, he is loyal to the work on the farm and also to the pigs. Especially Napoleon because Napoleon is the farm's leader ever since Snowball left and this lead to Boxer to adopt another motto that Napoleon is always right with any decision Napoleon makes. Boxer represents the ideals of the Russian Revolution.

She likes to believe that she deserves special treatment above all the other animals. Mollie was known for leaving work early for "injuries" like rocks stuck in her hooves. One day Clover actually believes that he saw Mollie by the gate letting a human pet her, of course she denied it and said it wasn't true. She is also known for liking her appearance, and always wanting to have a nice look, for example she loves and needs ribbons in her hair. If Mollie had to resmeble peolpe in the Russian War it would have to be the people that were very high class and never actually did any work.

He is the one that put the idea of rebellion into the heads of the other animals. He also taught the animals the song that they based their entire religion on. Also he is full of valuable wisdom on the farm because he lived for so long. Old Major represents Vladimir Lenin in the Russian Revolution.

Snowball and Napoleon take over after Old Major dies. Snowball realizes that everyone admires them. Snowball and the other pigs are very wise and intelligent. In the Revolutionary War Snowball is Trotsky

He has a bubby, vivacious personality. He is an inventive pig, and can read and write and is quick in speech. The other animals on the farm look up to him as a leader. Snowball works hard to create things he calls Animal Committees, i.e., Egg Production committee, for the hens, The Wild Comrades' Re-education Committee for the taming of the rabbits and rats, etc. Nne of which succeeded, but he still tried.  He has his own idea of how the farm should be ran, and often fought against another pre-eminent pig about whose idea of how it should go would become reality.

In the Russian Revolution, Snowball is similar tov Leon Trotsky.

A whit stripe runs down his nose which gives him somewhat a stupid appearance. He is respected for his steadiness of character and tremendous power of work. He is also not very smart. Boxer would definitely be the worker in the Russian Revolution, because he is really strong and always does the hard work. He even volunteers for work when it's most needed.

Snowball is a pig along with Squealer and Napoleon. He is lively,
quick in speech, and inventive. Snowball is a very intelligent pig and is the one who really helps with educating the other animals. He teaches the other animals how to read and write, making him very useful and important. Snowball
comes up with a lot of ideas and tries to make life on the farm easier by coming up with inventions. Snowball is very much like Leon Trotsky.
