<Ul> <Li> Mr. Jones--A heavy drinker who is the original owner of Manor Farm, a farm in disrepair with farmhands who often loaf on the job . He is an allegory of Russian Tsar Nicholas II, who abdicated following the February Revolution of 1917 and was murdered, along with the rest of his family, by the Bolsheviks on 17 July 1918 . The animals revolt after Jones drinks so much he does not care for the animals . </Li> <Li> Mr. Frederick--The tough owner of Pinchfield, a small but well - kept neighbouring farm, who briefly enters into an alliance with Napoleon . Animal Farm shares land boundaries with Pinchfield on one side and Foxwood on another, making Animal Farm a "buffer zone" between the two bickering farmers . The animals of Animal Farm are terrified of Frederick, as rumours abound of him abusing his animals and entertaining himself with cockfighting (a likely allegory for the human rights abuses of Adolf Hitler). Napoleon enters into an alliance with Frederick in order to sell surplus timber that Pilkington also sought, but is enraged to learn Frederick paid him in counterfeit money . Shortly after the swindling, Frederick and his men invade Animal Farm, killing many animals and detonating the windmill . The brief alliance and subsequent invasion may allude to the Molotov--Ribbentrop Pact and Operation Barbarossa . </Li> <Li> Mr. Pilkington--The easy - going but crafty and well - to - do owner of Foxwood, a large neighbouring farm overgrown with weeds . Unlike Frederick, Pilkington is wealthier and owns more land, but his farm is in need of care as opposed to Frederick's smaller but more efficiently - run farm . Although on bad terms with Frederick, Pilkington is also concerned about the animal revolution that deposed Jones, and worried that this could also happen to him . </Li> <Li> Mr. Whymper--A man hired by Napoleon to act as the liaison between Animal Farm and human society . At first he is used to acquire necessities that cannot be produced on the farm, such as dog biscuits and paraffin wax, but later he procures luxuries like alcohol for the pigs . </Li> </Ul> <Li> Mr. Jones--A heavy drinker who is the original owner of Manor Farm, a farm in disrepair with farmhands who often loaf on the job .
