Answer and Explanation:

In terms of human nature and society, Old Major means leadership and influence. That's because, in "Animal Farm" he represents the central point of Animalism, establishing himself as a leader and as someone who will bring unity to animals and organize them in the revolution they started.

"Animal Farm" was written by George Orwell and represents an allegory of the Russian Revolution, with the Old Major representing Vladimir Lenin, who was the man capable of organizing a revolution based on the concept that a majority must have the power of a system . "Animal Farm" presents a story where animals organize a revolution to free themselves from the exploitation of humans.
