Mudboy KNOWS the answer, so I'll refrain from commenting vis a vis HOO I imagine myself to be, so I will refrain from tainting the potential pool of test subjects with my somewhat-skewed biases...LOL!!

But fer the rest of y'all..."HOO amongst the Animal Farm cast do you most empathize?!"

Quite sincerely...MUD

BTW...this is a multi-Forum requirement insisted upon by the ObamaNationCensus2010 committee on preserving YER CIVIL RIGHTS AS AMERICANS...I apologize, my friends, I am just doing my job...

OK, either Moses the crow or Clover, Boxer the horse's girlfriend. That an answer?

Moses actually represents the Russian Orthodox Church in the novel, Mike. : )
Clover is a better choice, I think, because she is an allusion to the working class people. She cannot see how cruel other animals can be as she opts to see the best in all.

Interesting...I had never heard that before, but it sorta fits, doesn't it?

I think it fits because Moses was deemed useful to the pigs when conditions got worse, although they did not agree with him or trust him. Moses returns and Nepoleon and his dogs see how useful it is for Moses to rant about Sugarcandy Mountain.....so they buy him off for a "gill of beer a day."
When Stalin needed to drum up patriotic support for the war against Germany in 1941, he re-instituted the church. Stalin could see how useful the church is to a totalitarian leader. However, the church was rather bought off because the teachings really didn't fall in line with what Stalin was doing.
When are you going to share which character you had the most empathy for, Mud? Inquiring minds want to know. : )

Heh heh heh...exactly!! You must have the book handy, or do you actually remember it that well? So, it was Moses who introduced the Sugarcandy Mountain propoganda? I need a refresher read of "AF", I reckon, I couldda sworn the pigs came up with that KRAP, specifically "Squealer"...MUD

lol.....I recently re-read Animal Farm and 1984. In particular, I was interested in Orwell's Animal farm in relation to allegory and the Soviet regime. Otherwise, I would not be able to recall the allegorical relationships with the characters at this time. For once, I was prepared for a pop quiz.
Currently, I'm re-reading Call of the Wild. : )

Excellent book. I re-read that one and White Fang last fall. Found them in a used book store and got them for nearly nothing.

You know, James, instead of re-reading "Call of the Wild", I think I'll read "White Fang" fer the first time...are they comparable?

Both good books, both very well written. I enjoyed both of them.
