Asked by julie

Read the passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm.

The stupidest questions of all were asked by Mollie, the white mare. The very first question she asked Snowball was: "Will there still be sugar after the Rebellion?”

"No,” said Snowball firmly. "We have no means of making sugar on this farm. Besides, you do not need sugar. You will have all the oats and hay you want.”

What does sugar symbolize in the story?

the luxuries enjoyed by the ruling and middle class
the reason the people had to rebel
the rights the working class fought for
the limits of the people after the rebellion

the luxuries enjoyed by the ruling and middle class

Sugar (and Mollie’s ribbons) symbolizes the petty comforts and material luxuries that the bourgeoisie or middle-class cling to and are reluctant to give up after the Rebellion.
