Old Major
An old leader
Old major
democratic socialist, Orwell had a great deal of respect for Karl Marx, the German political economist and even for Vladimir Ilych Lenin the Russian revolutionary leader. His critique of Animal Farm has little to do with the Marxist ideology underlying the Rebellion but rather with the perversion of that ideology by later leaders. Major who represents both Marx and Lenin serves as the source of the ideals that the animals continue to uphold even after their pig leaders have betrayed them.
