-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 experience?



- I think the main characters are Napoleon, Snowball, and the rest of the animals. The first two characters are the most important of the characters in the book. I liked Snowball the best, how he thought about his and the other's farm, he wanted to protect it. But Napoleon, I think he only wanted to raise himself as the leader, or the dictator of the Animal Farm. I didn't like him very much, I think he kind of represents people who take advantage over people, for example some of the owners of some factories who take advantage of foreigners or the labor workers by making them work a lot and giving small pay. But, the other animals, I think they were a bit too ingenuous, they kept falling for the pigs fake explanation. But Benjamin the donkey, he was the kind who doesn't care about the surroundings or the changes. So he was the only animal who really wasn't affected. Because he couldn't see the difference between Napoleon or Jones, nor did he care.
