In Animal Farm, what is the significance of Mollie leaving in terms of the revolution?

Mollie's departure is political in nature, even though it
is from the most apolitical of individuals.  On  one hand, Mollie's departure is
motivated by self interest and a sense of selfishness.  Mollie never really subscribed
to the revolution and coveted her sugar and ribbons.  Yet, I think that her departure
ends up being one of the first signs that the totality and intended transcendence of the
revolution was not something to be experienced by the animals, though it was promised by
the pigs.  Mollie's departure is one of the first moments where the ruptured bonds of
trust between the animals and the pigs becomes evident.  From this moment on, there is
growing distrust between both.  Mollie's actions were not political.  However, they
possessed political ramifications.  Other animals did not use her as a model.  Yet, from
the most overall of senses, the animals' reaction to the pigs began to emerge as
decidedly anti- revolution.  It is here where Mollie's actions possess political
significance.  While they were most definitely were not intended to do so, the reality
is that the political fallout between those in the position of power and those who are
ruled over becomes evident after her departure from the farm.
