Benjamin

Benjamin is a donkey in George Orwell's novel Animal Farm. He is also the oldest of all the animals, and is alive in the last scene of the novel. He is less straightforward than most characters in the novel and a number of interpretations have been put forward.
In the 1954 film, it is Benjamin who leads the other animals in a counter-revolution against Napoleon when his treatment of them finally goes too far, although the 1999 film simply features him fleeing the farm with some of the other animals when their treatment under Napoleon's regime becomes too harsh to endure any longer.
