| Question | Answer |
| "As usual, Snowball and Napoleon were in disagreement." | The constant disagreements between Snowball and Napoleon represent the power struggle between Trsotsky and Stalin. |
| "Snowball was in league with Jones from the very start!" | Here is a prime example of Squealer spreading Napoleon's propaganda. SNowball is used as a scapegoat. Another similarity between Napoleon and Stalin. |
| "they met with much stupidity and apathy." | When the pigs reveal the rules of Animalism, many of the other animals don't understand. There are hints that the pigs aren't be trusted, therefore take advantage of the animals' "stupidity." |
| "Snowball at the head of them, rushed forward" | It's clear that Snowball is in charge of the attack and fights bravely. This shows how powerful Squealer's propaganda is later in the novel. |
| "this traitor has crept here under cover of night" | Napoleon calls Snowball a traitor and uses him as a scapegoat for the windmill's collapse. |
| "Boxer was never seen again." | Although the pigs say that Boxer is being sent to hospital, the "Horse Slaughterer" sign on the side of the van shows they're lying. They're completely corrupt and not even their loyal workers are rewarded. |
| "...SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUALTHAN OTHERS." | The tyrant Napoleon has created a more efficient and brutal version of Jones' Manor Farm. Only the pigs will benefit. |
| "Vote for Snowball and the three-day week" | Snowball has good intentions, but as he's a scapegoat no one believes him. |
| "Day and night we are watching over your welfare." | Squealer represents Stalin's use of Russian propaganda. Squealer influences the uneducated animals with memorable slogans, distorted facts and persuasive language. |
| "If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right." | Boxer is a faithful supporter of Animalism. He trusts what Napoleon says and devotes his life to working hard for the cause. However, the pigs betray Boxer and no one realizes until it's too late. |
| "When the hens heard this, they raised a terrible outcry." | In contrast to other animals, the hens take a stand. The pigs still win, sadly. |
| "there was a pile of corpses lying before Napoleon's feet" | Despite killing the animals he claims have turned on Animalism, it's actually Napoleon who's most guilty. |
| "there would be no more debates." | Napoleon is not even going to pretend to listen to the other animals' opinions anymore. He takes away free speech, he puts a stop to any resistance. |
| "It was mixed every day into the pigs' mash." | Even shocking revelations such as the milk and apples incident are repeated in simple language without suggesting any opinions. |
| "Snowball's eloquence had carried them away." | Snowball's intelligence, along with his passion for Animalism, makes him an effective and persuasive speaker. |
| "Cruel whips no more shall crack." | Major sings these words in the "Beasts of England" song, but Napoleon contradicts then when he carries a whip in the last chapter - the whip symbolises how far the animals have strayed from Major's vision. |
