Orwell was born in Bengal, India and was educated at Eton in England. The wealth that he saw at Eton caused him to attain a distaste for money. Orwell's outright distaste for money soon caused him to become and opponent of capitalism. Being an opponent of capitalism and communism wasn't exactly a good position during Orwell's life. Orwell actually despised all governments that he considered hypocritical. At the point in time Orwell wrote animal farm society had a growing respect for communism. Russia had just b

Majors teachings. Snowball is probably a direct reference to Leon Trotsky. Someone that Orwell respected, He even fought for a trotskyiest government in Spain. Trotsky just snowball was a pure Marxist. He believed and followed Marx's teachings perfectly. Trotsky was a leader of the Russian revolution and played much the same part as snowball. Trotsky was even chased away by the KGB, much as snowball was chased away by Napoleons bodyguards. Trotsky seriously wanted to improve life for all in Russia just as snowball wanted to improve life for all on the farm. The Stalin character is definitely Napoleon was not a good speaker and was not as cleaver as snowball just as Stalin was not a good speaker and not educated like Trotsky. Napoleon didn't continue to follow Old Majors ideas and Stalin deviated from Marx's original ideas. Stalin used the church and his KGB to control and spread propaganda to the people, while Napoleon used his dogs and squealer to control the people and allowed the raven Moses to spread religious propaganda. Moses is another very interesting character. Moses is used by Orwell to show his distaste for religion and how it can be used to manipulate and control a populace. Moses tells the animals of Sugar Candy Mountain, which is basically heaven. He tells the animals that if they work hard they would go to heaven so Napoleon lets him stay, just as Stalin allowed religion to exist in Russia to stop violent revolutions. Moses promise of Sugar Candy Mountain points strait at what is probably Marx's most famous quote " Religion is the opiate of the masses". Stalin took advantage of this opiate and used it to keep the people happy and Napoleon used Moses to keep the people happy and working hard in hopes of reaching Sugar Candy Mountain. The sheep that Orwell uses to represent the masses are used as both an attack on religion and government propaganda. The sheep cannot think for themselves and require someone to tell them how to think. They are sheep, just as in Christianity people are referred to as lambs and god as their shepherd. The biblical Moses wrote a large party of their religion for them when god told him and Moses the bird gives the sheep their religion. Both the sheep and the Russian people were highly susceptible to the propaganda spread by their rulers. An excellent yet overlooked character in the novel is the elderly donkey Old Benjamin. Old Benjamin is the one character whose life isn't changed by the rebellion. Benjamin is the pessimist in the story, the critique the character
