Fourth year Winter? Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg , 5 June The first flag was the flag of Animal Farm, and was apparently used by the republic as well. Quoting from Animal Farm , Snowball is one of the porcine leaders of the revolution : Snowball had found in the harness-room an old green tablecloth of Mrs Jones's and had painted on it a hoof and a horn in white.
This was run up the flagstaff in the farmhouse garden every Sunday morning. The flag was green, Snowball explained, to represent the green fields of England, while the horn and the hoof signified the future Republic of the Animals which would arise when the human race had finally been overthrown.
Notholt , 23 December That is my message to you, comrades: Rebellion! The Rebellion is an allusion to the Russian Revolution of , when the Russian people overthrew the royal ruling family. Bright will shine the fields of England, Purer shall its waters be, Sweeter yet shall blow its breezes On the day that sets us free. Squealer may also be an allusion to Pravda , the Soviet newspaper that Stalin used to disseminate propaganda.
Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than ribbons? The character of Mollie is an allusion to the bourgeoisie, or upper-middle class in Russia at the time of the Revolution. The pigs had an even harder struggle to counteract the lies put about by Moses, the tame raven. Moses, who was Mr. He claimed to know of the existence of a mysterious country called Sugarcandy Mountain, to which all animals went when they died. In past years Mr. Jones, although a hard master, had been a capable farmer, but of late he had fallen on evil days.
He had become much disheartened after losing money in a lawsuit, and had taken to drinking more than was good for him. His men were idle and dishonest, the fields were full of weeds, the buildings wanted roofing, the hedges were neglected, and the animals were underfed.
The character of Mr. Jones is an allusion to Czar Nicolas II — , the royal ruler of Russia who oversaw famines and shortages of supplies and who was overthrown by the forces of the Russian Revolution.
Jones could also be an allusion to capitalists in general. Boxer with his tremendous muscles always pulled them through. From morning to night he was pushing and pulling, always at the spot where the work was hardest. The flag was green, Snowball explained, to represent the green fields of England, while the hoof and horn signified the future Republic of the Animals which would arise when the human race had been finally overthrown. This an allusion to the hammer and sickle flag adopted by the Communists after the Russian Revolution, which became the flag of the Soviet Union.
Every day Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons whose instructions were to mingle with the animals on neighbouring farms, tell them the story of the Rebellion, and teach them the tune of Beasts of England.
This is an allusion to the practice of the Communist International known as the Comintern to attempt to export communism after the Russian Revolution. One of them. Foxwood, was a large, neglected, old-fashioned farm. Pilkington, was an easy-going gentleman farmer. The other farm. Pinchfield, was smaller and better kept.
Its owner was a Mr. Frederick, a tough, shrewd man. These two disliked each other so much that it was difficult for them to come to any agreement[. Foxwood is an allusion to England, and the character of Mr. Pilkington is an allusion to Winston Churchill — , the prime minister from to and again from to Foxwood and Mr. Pinchfield is an allusion to Germany, and the character of Mr. Frederick is an allusion to Adolf Hitler — , the leader of Nazi Germany from to Jones and all his men, with half a dozen others from Foxwood and Pinchfield, had entered the five-barred gate and were coming up the cart-track that led to the farm.
They were all carrying sticks, except Jones, who was marching ahead with a gun in his hands. Obviously they were going to attempt the recapture of the farm. According to the book, the green represents the fields of England, while the hoof and horn represents the Republic of the Animals.
