Animal Farm

The visionary boar whose ideas spark the rebellion and lay the groundwork for Animalism. He dies early, but his call for equality and collective action ignites the animals’ hopes and sets the revolution in motion.

An idealistic leader who drives the initial rebellion and champions ambitious plans like the windmill. He is later ousted by Napoleon’s enforcers, becoming a symbol of a betrayed revolutionary dream.

A shrewd pig who seizes control and uses fear and propaganda to centralize power. He abolishes policy meetings, controls decision-making, and subverts the revolution for his own gain.

The regime’s propagandist, who smooths over contradictions and persuades the other animals that the leadership’s actions are beneficial. He excels at rewriting truth to protect the pig elite.

A powerful, loyal workhorse whose strength drives labor on the farm. He embodies steadfast belief in the revolution, but his fate highlights the exploitation of the workers by those in power.

A skeptical donkey who views the unfolding tyranny with grim pragmatism. He serves as a quiet counterweight to the more optimistic livestock, recognizing the cycle of power.

The drunken, negligent owner whose misrule triggers the animals’ rebellion. His neglect catalyzes the initial uprising and establishes the stakes of governance on the farm.

A local intermediary who trades with the humans, providing external resources that sustain the pigs’ governance. His involvement shows how isolated revolutions rely on outside dealings.

The collective voice of the farm’s residents who, as the revolution unfolds, witness the transformation from cooperative action to a new hierarchy under pig leadership.

The telling voice guiding the viewer through events, framing the farm’s tale as a cautionary fable about power, propaganda, and revolution.
