    This song is important first of all because it serves as the national anthemn of the animal's new domain. It incites them to rebellion, not just for Animal Farm but to countries beyond ("Beasts of England, Beast of Ireland, Beasts of every land and clime...") The song unites them in purpose and gives them a vision of an animal utopia which is possible to attain if they perservere.

    "Beasts of England" serves as the spark which ignites the match for the animal's revolt against Farmer Jones and, in a larger sense, is the ideological support for their revolution against man.
