In all of Animal Farm, there is no shortage of deceitful and otherwise unsavory characters. The greater majority of these villains revelled in their manipulative ways, and took advantage of their power at every point possible. Characters like Napoleon harshly abused the animals that trusted them, and he did so simply to make his already opulent life even more lavish. In this story there is a single character whose motives are not as clear cut as the pigs, or any other deceitful group. Moses the raven’s
