“Animal Farm” Character’s Symbolic Meaning Paragraph

In the story "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, the character Mr. Jones represents being despicable. For example, he always resorts to drinking and often treats the animals with cruelty. He left them starving most days and often worked them into extreme labor. This shows that he was vile and shouldn't have been in the hands of those poor animals. He was a lazy farmer who cared more for his own satisfaction than he did for the well being of the animals that produced on his farm In addition, he also quoted "Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving and the rest he keeps for himself". This shows that he was very apathetic and uncompassionate. That’s when Old Major wanted to end all that and sought to remove him from power by taking over the farm. People who are despicable deserved to be despised and are obnoxious, which what Mr. Jones exactly was.
