Major (also called Willingdon Beauty, his name used when showing) is the first major character described by George Orwell in his 1945 novel Animal Farm. An elderly Centre White boar, his "purebred" of pigs is a kind, grandfatherly philosopher of change.[1] [two]

Major proposes a solution to the animals' desperate plight on Manor Farm under the Jones assistants and inspires thoughts of a rebellion.[three] He does not specify a time for the rebellion; it could be tomorrow or several generations down the route.[three] [4] But when he dies iii days afterward delivering his speech communication, the animals immediately set to work on bringing near the rebellion,[ii] driving Jones and the farmhands off the farm and removing many of the implements of his rule.[iv]

The Seven Commandments that Snowball transcribes, which are supposed to encompass Major'southward general philosophy, are gradually altered and plain-featured under Napoleon until they have entirely different meanings from those originally intended. "Beasts of England", the song that came to Major in his dream, is after banned on Animal Farm by Napoleon and replaced by "Comrade Napoleon", a hymn composed past Minimus the pig that pledges allegiance to Beast Farm and to work to protect it.[4]

Major's skull is dug upwardly and saluted past the animals every mean solar day, even subsequently the rebellion, as a sign of respect that the animals call up their roots and the roots of the Rebellion.[3] Afterward, after Napoleon decides to take the humans and strike bargains with them, he announces that the remains are to be tending of because they stand for the sometime days when Animal Subcontract was "trigger-happy and archaic" towards humans; towards the end of the story, Napoleon announces that he has reburied the skull.[4]

In both film adaptations, Major dies while provoking the animals into rebelling. In the 1954 adaption (voiced by Maurice Denham), he dies suddenly while the animals are singing. In the 1999 version (voiced by Peter Ustinov), Farmer Jones slips in mud while investigating the sounds coming from the barn, setting off his shotgun and indirectly hitting Major in his backside so that he staggers backwards and falls from the summit of the barn to his decease.

Major is broadly based on Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin.[5] [1] [6]
