Symbolism in AF
Moscow Purge Trials
Stalin placed anyone on trial who he thought was a threat and had them either imprisoned in labor camps or executed. He would make problems “disappear”.
The Animal Confessions and Executions - animals who appeared to be a threat to Napoleon were killed
Mensheviks
Minority political supporters of Trotsky’s “old way”, which was the way of “true” Communism; very few* supported this group due to fear of Stalin
Clover, Jessie, the other animals – began to realize things were no better than they were with Jones, but still desired equality and freedom like Snowball tried to give
Forced Collectivization
Stalin forced farmers off of their land and collected (stole) the land, crops, and livestock for the government control; many farmers destroyed their crops and animals rather than give them up; many farmers were then murdered so Stalin could easily steal their land
Taking the Hens Eggs – Napoleon forced the hens to give up 400 eggs a week; the hens refused and destroyed their own eggs in protest; Napoleon took away their rations as punishment; 9 hens died

5. Allegory Charts, continued
There were actually two more terms that we didn’t discuss… Mr. Pilkington and Mr. Frederick and their neighboring farms represent Russia’s relationships with two other countries during WWII.
First, let’s see if we can figure out who Mr. Pilkington and his farm represents.
“Foxwood was a large…farm, much overgrown…its owner, Mr. Pilkington, was an easy-going gentleman” (54-55).
Can you think of a nation, both today and historically, that would be considered large in size, “overgrown” (too many people), and somewhat easy-going?
What type of government does that nation have?
So, what do Foxwood and Mr. Pilkington represent?

6. Allegory Charts, continued
Can you think of a specific nation in history that was very small, but well-kept: strict government control, everything neat, tidy, and exactly as their tough, controlling leader wanted?
What type of government did this nation have?
What does Pinchfield represent?
Who does Mr. Frederick represent?
“The other farm, which was called Pinchfield, was smaller and better kept. Its owner was a Mr. Frederick, was a tough, shrewd man…” (55).
