“Beasts of England” is a revolutionary song taught to animals by Old Major, the old boar on the Manor Farm. This song brings to their awareness the possibility of bettering their living conditions. In so doing, this song has prompted them to act like heroes. Faced with the harsh reality of their daily lives, they rebelled and drove away the drunken and irresponsible man, Mr. Jones, from the farm. This has been possible because the song is convincing, coherent, with a dominant modality which is a deontic one.

This also presupposes the idea of the choice of the messenger and his state of mind. Power has finally become true for animals: the heroes.
