Moses

Perhaps one of the more intriguing characters in the story, Moses does not seem to play a large role in the Rebellion. Rather, he spends his time preaching about Sugarcandy Mountain, a supposed haven for all animals in the afterlife. In this way, it can be said that Moses seems to backtrack the efforts of Snowball and Napoleon by distracting the animals with premature visions of utopia. After the Rebellion, Moses disappears for a large portion of the novella, only to return to the farm with the same religious musings.
