Let's create a character trait chart for the animals we meet in Animal Farm.
It's a wiki, so we can add to each other's entries. I'll do the first one...
Animal Farm Characters
Old Major- a wise old animal (a boar), well respected by the other animals
has a dream that he shares with the other animals. Animalism is inspired by Old Major's speeches. Old Major dies early in the story but helps put the rebellion in motion.
Boxer - A big tall male horse who is a hard worker but not very smart. His motto is "I will work harder and later on in the book, Napoleon is always right."
Napoleon- A crafty pig who becomes the leader of the Animal Farm after the rebellion. He uses force and his 9 loyal attack dogs to chase snowball away, intimidate the other animals and gain power.
Mollie- A troublesome and lazy mare that wants to be like humans and abandones Animal Farm by going to the other side of Willingdon.
Squealer- Napoleon's helper/sidekick, who is always explaining to the other animals that they just remembered the commandments wrong, not that they were changed.
Benjamin - An old donkey who doesn't believe that things will get better.
