//There is also the__Petite Bourgeoisie__ which is used to describe the class below Bourgeoisie//

Bourgeoisie was more like "Mollie"

//Reasons for the parallel between the Bourgeoisie and Mollie//

 * When an animal checked Mollies Stall, there "were a little pile of lump sugar and several bunches of ribbon of different colours" (46)
 * //Material Items: ribbons//
 * "Between the shafts of a smart dogcart which was outside a public house, a fat faced man was stoking her nose and feeding her with sugar. her coat was newly clipped and she wore a scarlet ribbon around her forelock" (46)
 * Where located = middle class
 * Ran away which means she wants more and was not getting what she wanted at animal farm. ex: (animal farm = no lump sugar, no possessions, no electricity)
 * With red faced man - gets whatever she wants
 * "Mollie, the foolish, pretty mare drew Mr. Jones's trap...flirting her white mane" =
 * Acting like shes better and snobby
 * "She was late for work every morning and excused herself by saying that she had overslept" (45)
 * Acting like upper class by making excuses for not going to work on time, does not care.
 * Shows no interest in helping out animal farm
