Jones (Animal Farm)

Art by Norman Pett of Mr. Jones from the Animal Farm comic strip

Mr. Jones is a character in the book Animal Farm. He is the brutal (and often drunk) owner of Manor Farm.

Jones is kicked out of his farm when the animals start their rebellion. Later he returns with several others, and tries to get his farm back. There is a battle, but the animals win.

Most people think Jones represents Russia's ruling class prior to the Russian Revolution. Some people think that he represents the bourgeoisie but the most common idea is that he represents Tsar Nicholas II.
