Mollie Conclusion

Mollie is an interesting character, for her character arc isn’t so much about her changes, but the reveal of her true self. From the beginning she seems perfectly normal, a little self serving, but mainly a good person. The Battle of the Cowshed is a turning point for how the animals feel about her. George Orwell did a good job on slowly revealing Mollie’s true nature, and relating her to the stuck-up, wealthy bourgeois who flaked out during the Russian Revolution for selfish reasons. Mollie didn’t as so much change, but her ditsy show pony facade fade.
