"Old Major (so he was always called,
though the name under which he had been exhibited was Willingdon Beauty)
was so highly regarded on the farm that everyone was quite ready to lose
an hour's sleep in order to hear what he had to say." the characterization of old major helps describe the animal farm and who they sought to leadership for.
"Mr. Jones, of the Manor Farm, had locked the hen-houses for the night, but
was too drunk to remember to shut the pop-holes. With the ring of light
from his lantern dancing from side to side, he lurched across the yard,
kicked off his boots at the back door, drew himself a last glass of beer
from the barrel in the scullery, and made his way up to bed, where
Mrs. Jones was already snoring." The setting helps identify in what type of enviroment the animals lived in and why they would want a change.
"Is it not crystal clear, then, comrades, that all the evils of this life
of ours spring from the tyranny of human beings? " the diction of most of the phrases said by old Major play a great role in shaping up the events of the animals wanting to take over the farm.
"Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken to my joyful tidings
Of the golden future time. " The personification used helps describe old Major and what he intended the farm to become.
