The striking yet egocentric horse, Mollie, struts into the spotlight as a central character in George Orwell’s renowned novel, “Animal Farm.” While her farm brethren are awash with revolutionary fervor, Mollie remains preoccupied with materialistic baubles like ribbons and sugar cubes.
As the narrative unfurls, the animals topple their human tormentors. However, Mollie struggles to acclimate to this new world order. Her infatuation with personal luxuries seems at odds with the farm’s newfound ethos of collective welfare. Consequently, she makes the drastic choice to abandon the farm, incapable of subduing her desires for the collective welfare of the animal society.
Through Mollie, Orwell masterfully highlights the friction between individualistic desires and the common good, provoking readers to delve deeper into the labyrinth of human complexities.
