Some of the least intelligent animals on Animal Farm. They never become fully literate and can’t remember the Seven Commandments, but Snowball teaches them the maxim “Four legs good, two legs bad,” which they love and bleat all the time. They’re receptive to propaganda and follow orders without questioning anything. The sheep represent the duped citizens of a totalitarian state.
