Chapter One
In this Chapter, Mr. Jones is introduced in the beginning. Mr. Jones is the owner of the farm. Orwell shows Mr. Jones drunk, which symbolizes how irresponsible he could be. In this chapter, they introduce all of the other characters.
The first animal that is introduced is an old white boar named Old Major. Old Major is the wisest and oldest animal on the farm. Then the three dogs of the farm are introduced, Bluebell, Jessie and Pincher with the pigs. The next two animals that are introduced are the horses, Boxer and Clover. Clover is a female motherly horse. Boxer is a characterized as a strong but stupid animal. The next animals that are introduced are Muriel the white goat, and Benjamin, a lazy, old, donkey. Benjamin is known to be the worst tempered in the farm. Then came the ducks and Mollie. Mollie was a foolish pretty white mare. Then the cat came last. Another animal that Orwell introduced was a raven name Moses, which was Mr. Jones' tame Raven. Moses was not in the meeting held by Old Major.
During this chapter, Old Major tells the other animals about a dream he had. The dream was about a song that he remembered. He taught the other animals this song, which was called The Beasts of England and about animals rebelling against their owners. He explains how humans are the enemies and that the other animals should take over.
Chapter Two
This chapter is known to be the most important chapter. The chapter starts off by telling the reader that Old Major has died. Orwell explains to the reader that the remaining animals are forming secret meetings. Then there are two more animals that are introduced, the two boars, Snowball and Napoleon. Napoleon is a fierce looking Berkshire boar, which is not much of a talker, but he has a reputation of getting his way. Snowball was quicker in speech and more inventive. In this chapter they talk about Moses little more.
Moses is a tame raven that talks about a place called sugar candy mountain. In this chapter the animals went into the storeroom. Then Jones and his men came with whips but they fled from the animals because the animals started to attack them. This was the start of the rebellion. With Mr. Jones gone, the animals changed the name of the farm to Animal Farm. Then Snowball created the seven commandments which stated, whatever goes by upon two legs is an enemy, whatever goes upon four legs or has wings is a friend, no animal shall wear clothes, no animal shall sleep in a bed, no animal shall drink alcohol, no animal shall kill any other animal, and all animals are equal.
In the end of the chapter it shows Napoleon stealing milk.
