Read the excerpt from Animal Farm As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears If she could have spoken her thoughts it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion If she herself had had any picture of the future it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip all equal each working according to his capacity the strong protecting the weak as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major s speech Instead she did not know why they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind when fierce growling dogs roamed everywhere and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind What is the main conflict described in this excerpt OOO Clover feels unhappy and is unsure about whether or not to rebel against Animal Farm Clover experiences distress because her beliefs go against what Old Major taught her Clover feels frustrated at what has happened at the farm and at her inability to stop it Clover experiences remorse and regrets not living her dreams before she dies
