'''Boxer''': (The [[proletariat]]) A very strong horse whose attitude is very simplistic and uncaring, simply determining that, regardless of what leader on the farm say or do, he will make things come out right by working ever harder.

'''Mollie''': (The [[czar|czarist]] aristocracy) A female horse who is vain and shallow. Her low intelligence is seen in whatever she does, and she is easily led astray by flattery.  

'''Mollie''': (The [[czarist]] aristocracy) A female horse who is vain and shallow. Her low intelligence is seen in whatever she does, and she is easily led astray by flattery.  However, some analysts of the story have expressed admiration for her as being one of the few non-pigs and non-humans in Animal Farm who takes control of her own life.

'''Snowball''': ([[Leon Trotsky]]) A pig who struggled with Napoleon for power. Possibly the most intelligent animal on the farm, he envisioned the windmill and much of the governance structure of the farm.

'''Snowball''': ([[Leon Trotsky]]) A pig who struggled with Napoleon for power. Possibly the most intelligent animal on the farm, he envisioned the windmill and much of the governance structure of the farm.  Though he is often seen as a protagonistic "good guy," it is hinted at throughout the story prior to his exile that his motives, though not necessarily malicious, are less than saint-like.

'''Napoleon''': ([[Joseph Stalin]]) Another pig whose lust for power will stop at nothing. While taking a stand against Snowball's ideas every time they come up, Napoleon rarely presents any of his own.

'''Mr Whymper''': ([[George Bernard Shaw]]) The 'face' of Animal Farm to the outside world.

'''Mr. Whymper''': ([[George Bernard Shaw]]) The 'face' of Animal Farm to the outside world.  The pigs successfully convince him that conditions in Animal Farm are much better than they are.  

'''Moses''': (Religion in general)<ref>"Moses represents Orwell's view of the Church.  To Orwell, the Church is just used as a tool by dictatorships to keep the working class of people hopeful and productive." [http://www.netcharles.com/orwell/articles/col-afcp.htm Animal Farm Character Profiles]</ref> Farmer Jones's pet raven, whom the other animals resent because he does no work.  He preaches about a wondrous land called Sugarcandy Mountain, where the animals will supposedly go when they die.  The pigs try to convince the other animals that Moses is lying, but once they see his usefulness to them, they tolerate him.
