In this chapter, the trio of important pigs who become leaders of the animal movement are Squealer, Napoleon, and Snowball. These three pigs play significant roles in the development and organization of the animal revolution. Squealer is a persuasive speaker who spreads propaganda and manipulates the other animals. Napoleon is a power-hungry pig who eventually becomes the dictator of the farm. Snowball is an idealistic pig who initially shares power with Napoleon but is later expelled. Together, these three pigs symbolize the corruption and manipulation that can occur in leadership positions.

The principles of Animism are boiled down into seven commandments. These commandments serve as guidelines for practitioners of Animism to follow in order to maintain a harmonious relationship with the spiritual world.

Moses (who represents the Russian Orthodox Church) tells the animals about Sugarcandy Mountain, where "it was Sunday seven days a week, clover was in season all the year round, and lump sugar and linseed cake grew on the hedges." The idea that Sugarcandy Mountain has all of the desires of the animals, and this is a place that is "a little distance beyond the clouds" where animals went "when they died" is similar to the Christian idea of Heaven.

However, the prohibition against betraying a comrade is not explicitly mentioned as one of the commandments.

The pigs secretly taught themselves how to read and write. This suggests that they have a desire for knowledge and power, as literacy is often associated with intelligence and control.

The animals bury the hams because they see them as fallen comrades. Although humans see the hams as food, the animals have a different perspective and believe that the hams deserve a proper burial.

The animals make the farmhouse off limits to any animals wishing to live there. This means that they do not allow any animals to inhabit the farmhouse. This could be because they want to prevent any animal from taking on the same oppressive behaviors as the humans did when they lived there. By keeping the farmhouse off limits, the animals are ensuring that they maintain their collective ownership and prevent any hierarchy or inequality from forming among them.

The series of events that leads to the rebellion is when on Midsummer's Eve, Mr. Jones gets drunk at the Red Lion and doesn't return until the next day. The men of the farm milk the cows, but then go out rabbiting without feeding the animals. As a result, a cow breaks into the store-shed after Jones returns and falls asleep, since he had left the animals unfed into the evening. This neglect and mistreatment of the animals by Mr. Jones and the men of the farm ultimately leads to the animals' rebellion.

The items burned in the fire symbolize the dominance of man. This is because whips, reigns, and ribbons were all tools used by humans to control and oppress the animals. By burning these items, the animals are symbolically destroying the symbols of human dominance and asserting their newfound freedom.
