This paper will discuss the the similarities between the Upper Class of the Russian Revolution and Mollie from Animal Farm. The Upper Class or the aristocrats of Russia were made of mostly the Tsar, the Bolsheviks and the nobles. Many people were very envious of the Upper Class knowing that the Upper Class has the money to do anything they wanted (Chicago Tribune) . Mollie is a vain, white mare in the farm(Orwell 5) .
