Benjamin (Animal Farm)
Benjamin is a donkey in George Orwell's 1945 novel ''Animal Farm''. He is also the oldest of all the animals (he is alive in the last scene of the novel). He is less straightforward than most characters in the novel, and a number of interpretations have been put forward to which social class he represents as regards to the Russian Revolution and the Soviet Union.

Benjamin also represents the old people of Russia because he remembers the old laws that have been changed. Interpretations Some interpret Benjamin as representing the elderly populous of Russia, because he is old and cynical. Others feel that he represents the Menshevik intelligentsia as he is just as intelligent, if not more so than the novel's pigs, yet he is marginalised. He is very cynical about the Revolution and life in general. It has also ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
