Q
The windmill
A
It symbolizes the pigs’ manipulation of the other animals for their own gain. Despite the immediacy of the need for food and warmth, the pigs exploit boxer and the other common animals by making them do all the hard labour. Snowball being blamed for the first destruction of the windmill prevents the common animals from doubting the pigs.
