Description and evolution of Clover:
Clover is a motherly mare approaching middle life. She is loyal and maternal with every single animals living on the farm. She takes care of them.
For example, at the beginning of the book, at Old Major’s speech, (p.1 and p.2) she made a wall around the ducklings that had lost their mother with her foreleg to keep them warm and they feel asleep.
Unfortunately, she is not good with words and reading is a real problem for her out throughout the book. At first, when the pigs started modifying the commandment, even if she was unable to read all seven of them, she was really suspicious about it. She had a feeling that they had been changed or modified. Many times, Clover asked other animals to read to her the commandments but despite the modifications, she continued working thinking her memory was faulty. Even if she thought she was right, Clover wasn’t equipped to fight against the pig. …show more content…
She thought that the rebellion would be better for every animal and she was optimistic towards it. Soon in the book, she realised that finally, maybe it wasn’t the best solution to all of their problems.

``As Clover looked down the hillside, her eyes filled with tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race.
