The Main Characters (Animal Farm) #4


Who are the main characters in the novel? Do you like them? Why or
Why not? What is special about them? What do they reveal about the
Universal human experience?
In the book “Animal Farm” doesn’t have stated the main characters however; the characters who are round characters are Napoleon, Snowball, Boxer and Squealer.
Napoleon is a character who leads the story line, who is the leader of other pigs and other animals. Napoleon is a pig.
Snowball is another pig who is against Napoleon. He is another character who leads the story line until the climax where Napoleon kicks Snowball out of the farm with his trained dogs.
Boxer is a horse that is really strong and loyalty. Throughout the story, Boxer later things that Napoleon is always right which is wrong.
Squealer is a pig who spreads the words of Napoleon. Basically, since Napoleon himself doesn’t speak out to the rest of the animals, Squealer tell other animals for Napoleon.
Theses are some of the main characters of “Animal Farm” and some details about them.
I don’t like any of the characters in Animal Farm because they all have things that I hate. What I hate about it is that it is very similar to now days and citizens and government cannot solve this problem. Moreover, I am not a pig or any animal’s fan except dogs, so.
The special thing about them is that they have some of the characteristics that humans have. It reveals that pigs are greedy and dirty moreover very selfish which our governmental people are. In addition, the other animals represent us, which it reveals that we have diversity of people around us. The universal human experience that they reveal is people with power rule over others whether it is good for people or bad for people. In the text or in reality, people who have power have some people who follow after them and obey them. In the world, there are powerful people and weak people. Someone who is better than our self, we can’t say anything to them. However, if we are better, we talk over them. That is what the main characters are revealing about. In addition, even though I don’t like the characters in the book, it is interesting and fun to read because the author, Orwell is very metaphorical. It was fun.
