Nelson Mandela was the total opposite as the pigs because he was a good leader in trying to help South Africa.…

As humans, we are only able to understand the world around us in terms of the human experience, through human emotions, feelings, and perception. Authors will often personify other things in order to relate back to the human experience. Most likely of these cases, authors will personify animals.

Most of the animals are non-intelligent, hence, they would not know the pigs ulterior motive. “You don’t want Jones back do you?” Squealer uses a Jones as a fear/threat to convey what’s happening on the farm is for the better and if they didn’t comply with the changes, life would be back to the way it was with Jones.
