Read the passage from chapter 1 of animal farm. "now, comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours? let us face it, our lives are miserable, laborious, and short. we are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength; and the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty. no animal in england knows the meaning of happiness or leisure after he is a year old. no animal in england is free. the life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plain truth.” which historical figures do the animals most likely symbolize? the powerful european aristocracy the labor class of the soviet union the english farmers of world war i the bolshevik revolutionaries

the labor class of the Soviet Union.

Animal Farm serves as an allegory of the Russian Revolution and the Communist regime it implemented. In this excerpt, the animals' complaints mirror those of the labor class of the Soviet Union before the revolution. Workers complained that their lives were difficult, exhausting and short. They also argued that they were not free, and that they were ignored and overlooked when they could not longer be productive. Moreover, the animals call each other "comrade," which was the way Soviet revolutionaries called each other.
