Who Is Clover In Animal Farm

Animal Farm, a revered classic by George Orwell, is actually a big metaphor for the Russian Revolution and how the country would eventually evolve into a communist nation. It starts off with an old boar named Major calling a meeting with all the animals on Manor Farm, which is owned by Mr. Jones. He tells the other animals about a dream he had where all the animals lived together and no humans ruled over them. He teaches them the lyrics to an old song called “The Beasts of England” that describes a land of animals being free from human tyranny. After Major dies, three other pigs, Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball, expound on Major’s teachings and form Animalism. The animals get tired of living under the reign of Mr. Jones and drive him, his
Clover is a loyal friend to Boxer and is made out to be a mother like character. I like how she is kind and never jumps to conclusions, but would rather talk about it and gather facts first.

Slowly, the concept of Animalism that had once stood for freedom and equality is molded into what is best for the pigs, but not the animals. As the story goes on, “animals,” who claim to be acting under Snowball, are murdered by the “dogs” and the “pigs” become more and more like the humans, or tyrants, that the animals had tried so hard to defeat. While the animal story is not true, the metaphor weaved into it is correct about what happened to Russia during and after the Bolshevik
