Hi, Rachal:
I think that people should look up what's available on this Orwell site (and other pages like http://www.newspeak.org/orwell/index.html
http://pages.citenet.net/users/charles/links.html,http://students.ou.edu/C/Kara.C.Chiodo1/orwell.html#bibliography),rather then posting another 'help wanted' question right away.
You would find the following paragraph in the 'Summaries & Interpretations' section here:
"Muriel: Muriel is a knowledgeable goat who reads the commandments for Clover. Muriel represents the minority of working class people who are educated enough to decide things for themselves and find critical and hypocritical problems with their leaders. Unfortunately for the other animals, Muriel is not charismatic or inspired enough to take action and oppose Napoleon and his pigs."
Yours,
weak Tim
