Questions about Animal Farm


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?

I think the main characters are the pigs, especially Napoleon the leader of the whole farm. Napoleon doesn't come out in every scene or do something striking during working times but everything evolves around him. The pigs make decisions under the supervision of Napoleon, they break all the rules and remake them again, and they order the whole farm to work while they don't do anything. They are in charge of the whole farm. I personally don't like them but I do know that the other animals liked them. The animals of the farm weren't really understanding the whole situation. They didn't realize that the pigs were living like kings off from the work of other animals. Now who would like to be used like that? No one. One policy I have is that people who have more power and more responsibility shouldn't be cheating or bullying someone under their rule. Its really morally wrong and cowardly. I do have to admit that the pigs were good at brainwashing animals to believe that they were doing right and good things. They also cleverly re-wrote the 7 major laws and told lies that couldn't be detected by other animals. Still I can't say that people in this world don't cheat off people in a lesser status than they are in. There are many powerful people in high status' that cleverly cheat people and never get caught. Even though they know its morally wrong they just do it because they know that there is a lot thats in for them. No one can change people from stopping their cheating and using people. Only God can change their hearts and the only thing people who actually know whats going on can do is speak up and let them know what's going on.
