Tai- Napoleon
Survi's father: Old Major
Survi : Snowball
Lata- Benjamin
Shanti- Clover
Tai's children- Napoleon's guard dogs
And finally:
Karthik- Boxer
Now you guys are probably wondering why I'm suddenly bringing Animal Farm into this forum, but this makes sense, trust me
A lot of the major parts of the story don't match up with yeh vaada raga, but we're studying animal farm in English, and whilst I was planning my essay about Boxer, I realised quite a lot of things.
Tai is the most intimidating and possibly powerful character in the show, mainly because nothing matters more to her than herself.
All she wants is Karthik's money, she doesn't actually care about him. Napoleon just wants Boxer's manual labour, he doesn't give a sh!t about what happens to him, they're both selfish and manipulating characters. What's worse is that both of Karthik and Boxer are essentially brainwashed into putting them into such a high pedestal that theyre considered equivalent to God, and it's impossible to make them doubt this.
However, luckily for Boxer/Karthik, there is someone else they strongly trust and believe, and that is Old Major/Survi's father, who has taught them principles that will help them in future and counter Tai/Napoleon. Unfortunately Old Major dies and Survi's father is imprisoned so Karthik and Boxer are left alone with their other leader, Tai/Napoleon.
Napoleon's guard dogs who represent (the secret police in the revolution of the Soviet Union) Tai's children, do a lot of her/his dirty work hour for him/her. They are viciously protective of N/T and kill/punish anyone who dares hurt N/T. And why wouldn't they? They've been raised by N/T to do so. They've been brainwashed, and the root cause is N/T.
In the book, the dogs bite into Snowball's back and chase him away. In this context, we can consider Snowball as Survi. We all remember that horrifying episode in which Tai's children were absolutely CRUEL towards to Survi, on Tai's command. Survi was badly injured in that episode, and so was Snowball, just because of his/her's existence, and threat they were to the complete power of N/T.
Tai considers herself to own 50% of the property, and Survi owns the other half. Snowball and Napoleon are the 2 main leaders on animal farm.
Tai/Napoleon only get full power after they forcibly remove Survi/Snowball.
Boxer/Karthik used to listen to Snowball/Survi just as much as Napoleon/Tai until they went away. Since then, he's been told Survi/Snowball is evil.
I've put Lata as Benjamin, and it is true, they have completely different characters. But my logic for this is that Benjamin/Lata didn't really care about what happened in the farm/house as long as Karthik/Boxer was okay. In reality Benjamin and Lata both know what is actually going on, but they both know nothing is going to happen if they say something because things will always be bad/Tai is too powerful. They remain passive through out the story, do what they are told to, but nothing more, they keep what they know secret even though they really do know the truth of Survi/Snowball. But they only really care about Karthik/Boxer, and only speak out for him. Benjamin will never speak out about Snowball, and Lata tried after such a long time, but Tai stopped her.
The only other person Lata/Benjamin really cares about, is Shanti/Clover. Shanti/Clover also immensely cares about everyone, especially Boxer/Kathik, Benjamin/Lata. Clover/Shanti realises things aren't quite as wonderful and simple she imagined they would be. Since Clover/Shanti cannot read/ is a bit behind for her age, she cannot really protest because she doesn't know how. All she knows that all isn't as it should be.
Karthik/Boxer works the hardest out of anyone else, hence he has so much respect, but Napoleon/Tai don't care because they just try/succeed in getting him killed. However Benjamin/Lata try their best/prevent him from being killed.Once Old Major/Survi's father and Snowball/Survi is out of the picture he only listens to Napoleon/Tai which, if he had been more cynical, could've prevent him being sent to a glue factory once he got too old/ Survi leaving.
The pig on the right is actually probably Squealer rather than Napoleon but I didn't have time to include him, plus my hands are cramping from typing so please forgive me if you really like Squealer.
Also can we just realise Tai and Napoleon's tendencies towards alcohol? Lol.
PS can we just appreciate for a sec how I didhave awesome images to go with post but IF said that they were invalid words😭
