Muriel doesn't actually say much in Animal Farm and there isn't much written about her, but here are some quotes where she is mentioned:"After the horses came Muriel, the white goat, and Benjamin, the donkey" (3)."Muriel, the goat, could read somewhat better than the dogs, and sometimes used to read to the others in the evenings from scraps of newspaper which she found on the rubbish heap" (28)."Finding herself unable to read more than the individual letters, she [Clover] fetched Muriel. 'Muriel...read me the Fourth Commandment. Does it not say something about never sleeping in a bed?' With some difficulty Murie spelt it out. 'It says "No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets,"' she announced finally' (61)."He [Squealer] announced that...'Beasts of England' had been abolished. From now onwards it was forbidden to sing it. 'Why?' cried Muriel" (78)."Clover asked Benjamin to read her the Sixth Commandment, and when Benjamin, as usual, said that he refused to meddle in such matters, she fetched Muriel. Muriel read the Commandment for her" (80)."But a few days later Muriel, reading over the Seven Commandments to herself, noticed that there was yet another or them which the animals had remembered wrong" (95-96)."'Fools! Do you not see what is written on the side of that van?' [said Benjamin]...That gave the animals pause, and there was a hush. Muriel began to spell out the words. But Benjamin pushed her aside..." (107-108)."Years passed...Muriel was dead" (112).
