Animal Farm by George Orwell is an allegory for the Russian Revolution. The characters in the novel represent key players in the revolution. For example, Old Major represents Karl Marx, who was the founder of communism. Napoleon represents Joseph Stalin, who was a dictator of the Soviet Union. Snowball represents Leon Trotsky, who was a revolutionary leader who was exiled from the Soviet Union. Squealer represents the propaganda machine that was used to spread the message of the revolution. The similarities between the characters and the key players in the Russian Revolution are that they all had a role to play in the establishment of a new order, and they all had their own agendas. They were all motivated by their own self-interests, and they all used propaganda to manipulate the masses.
