Although George Orwell was a Socialist, he was critical of Communism. He hated totalitarianism, and it has been said that his "Animal Farm" was written as a biting satire of the 1917 Russian Revolution. In fact, many of the characters in "Animal Farm" are thought to be caricatures of the main figures of the Russian Revolution. In the course of this essay, I will discuss some of the main characters in the book, and show, through excerpts, the parallels between the two.

"Animal Farm" opens with this description:

Mr. Jones of the Manor Farm, had locked the hen-houses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the popholes. With the ring of light from this lantern dancing from side to side, he lurched across the yard, kicked off his boots at the back door, drew himself a last glass of beer from the barrel in the scullery, and and made his way up to bed, where Mrs. Jones was already snoring.

Mr. Jones (and his snoring wife) can be compared to the Czar Nicholas II and the Czarina Alexandra on the eve of the Russian Revolution who were so out of touch with their subjects that they didn't realize the revolution was coming.

The character Old Major dies early on in the book, but not before teaching the other animals about animalism. He preaches the following to the other animals:

Why, work night and day, body and soal, for the overthrow of the human race! That is my message to you, comrades: Rebellion! I do not know when that rebellion will come, it might be in a week or in a hundred years, but I know, as surely as I see this straw beneath my feet, that sooner or later justice will be done.
