Mr. Frederick in "Animal Farm" represents Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany. He is the owner of the neighboring Pinchfield Farm and is portrayed as a tough, shrewd, and opportunistic man who is involved in hard bargains and underhanded dealings. He spreads propaganda against Animal Farm, cheats Napoleon by paying with counterfeit money, and later attacks Animal Farm by destroying the windmill. His character symbolizes the fascist Germans and Hitler’s betrayal and aggression during World War II.
