Key Characters The pigs by Sebri In ‘Animal Farm’, from the start of chapter 1, Old Major is introduced. He is the wise old boar who decides to give his speech in the barn. Old Major perhaps represents a combination of Marx and Lenin, the men who introduced Communism. His speech, just before his death, encourages the animals to rebel against Farmer Jones. Snowball is one of the older pigs in the group and he is one of the organisers of the rebellion. After they kick Jones out, he still wants to continue the rebellion for Old Major’s sake. Snowball represents Trotsky, who was one of the leaders of the October Russian Revolution and the leader of the Red Army.
The pigs, cont. Napoleon is the villain in Animal Farm. Napoleon, the pig, is really the central character on the farm. He is obviously a metaphor for Stalin. (Comrade) Napoleon perhaps also represents the human frailties of any revolution. Squealer is first described as a manipulator and persuader. Squealer is also thought by some to represent Goebbels, who was the minister of propaganda for Germany, and also the Russian newspaper Pravda. When Squealer masks an evil intention of the pigs, their plans can be carried out with little resistance.
