| How is Old Major characterized in this passage?
He is content with the animals' current situation on
the farm.
Is it not crystal clear, then, comrades, that all the evils of
this life of ours spring from the tyranny of human beings?
Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labour would
be our own. Almost overnight we could become rich and
free. What then must we do? Why, work night and day,
body and soul, for the overthrow of the human race! That
is my message to you, comrades: Rebellion!
-Animal Farm,
George Orwell
He believes that the animals should move away
and find a new farm to work on.
He desires more for the animals and thinks that they
should be equal to humans,
He believes that the animals should reject wealth
and the material goods of humans.
