What does Mr. Whymper represent in the story?

Mr. Whymper represents the outside world and capitalist interests in "Animal Farm." His role as a intermediary between the animals and the human world reflects the complexities of capitalist relationships. As a solicitor and businessman, he symbolizes how the farm, despite its revolutionary foundation, must still interact with external capitalist entities, indicating that economic realities are inescapable even within a supposedly egalitarian society. Whymper’s involvement suggests that the ideals of the animals, while noble in theory, are influenced and often compromised by the pressures and demands of the capitalist system surrounding them. This connection emphasizes the theme of how revolutionary movements can be impacted and often exploited by external forces seeking profit and advantage.
