The Morning of the Rebellion

The Ecstasy of Ownership The First Tour After the Rebellion, the animals race to the knoll and survey the farm. They cannot believe it is theirs. They roll in the grass, snuff the earth. The Sense of Pride Every mouthful of food is a pleasure because it is their own. They work for themselves, not for a master. The Flag and the Song The green flag and 'Beasts of England' become symbols of their pride. The animals feel a sense of belonging and purpose.

The Pride in the Windmill

The Collective Achievement The Wonder of Construction The animals walk around the half-built windmill, admiring its strength. They feel a sense of accomplishment. The Sacrifice for the Future They endure hunger and cold, believing the windmill will bring better days. The work is a labor of love. The Grief at Destruction When the windmill is destroyed, they are devastated. It is not just a building; it is their hope.

The Enduring Pride Despite Hardship

The Unbroken Spirit The Consciousness of Singularity The animals know they are the only farm in England owned and operated by animals. This gives them pride even in hunger. The Memory of Heroic Days They talk of the expulsion of Jones, the Battle of the Cowshed, and the writing of the Seven Commandments. The past is a source of comfort. The Secret Hope They still believe in the dream of the Republic of the Animals. They hum 'Beasts of England' secretly. Their love for the idea of Animal Farm endures, even as it is betrayed by the pigs.
