Animal Farm Rebellion

Animal Farm uses the theme to start the book and shows how people, or animals in this case, can come together to fight oppression and tyranny. The animals become inspired by a speech given by a respected elder and the pigs take control of a group rebellion to overthrow the farmer. They believe that in this movement they will free themselves from the slavery they endure and become their own masters. ‘"Is it not crystal clear, then, comrades, that all the evils of this life of ours spring from the tyranny of human beings? Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labour would be our own.

In both American politics and Animal Farm, the fortunate and privileged are the ones who run the show. Prior to the Animal Farm rebellion, “The work of teaching and organising the others fell naturally upon the pigs, who were generally recognised as being the cleverest of the animals.” (Orwell, 15). Pigs were regarded as the most special of the farm’s inhabitants, similar to how the wealthy are viewed as being the “chosen ones” in the United States. Throughout the novel, as the pigs gain more control, and they use their influence and the other animal’s admiration as their tool to control what laws are being made.

Emerson Coziahr J. Klepfer English 10 B 21 April 2023 Government Flaws with Totalitarianism Orwell published the book animal farm in 1945. Orwell uses Animal Farm as a way to show the government's flaws with communism and how one person who takes control is named Napoleon. Orwell wrote this novel as an allegory by having the animals represent people. He also uses totalitarian government with one animal rising above the others. Orwell wanted to teach his readers about the potential government flaws with totalitarianism.

Juliette Blalock Singh 4/5 Animal Farm In the satiric novel Animal Farm by George Orwell, the character Napoleon represents a dictator in society, who turns a self-governed and unbiased farm into his own. Napoleon initially unifies with the rest of the animal’s, but soon decides to take matters into his own hands and disposes of Snowball and his proposals towards the farm. He takes advantage of the vulnerable animals so he can become in command. Napoleon is clever, brutal, and dictatorial to the animals.

For example, the pigs thought they were more important or inferior to the other animals. At the beginning of the book, the pigs were decided to be the leaders because of their intelligence and their ability to read and write. The pigs wrote seven commandments on the top of the barn and one of them was “All Animals are Equal” page 24. This is important because the seven commandments end up being broken by the leader of the pigs Napoleon. At first,

The rulers of the farm take advantage of the low reading skills that the rest of the animals possess and use that weakness against them, as the animals just believe whatever the pigs tell them to, as they have no reason not to. The pigs’ goals seem intact and they do

While the working class starved and toiled in the fields, the fruits of their labor would not be enjoyed by themselves, but by the ruling people, who did no work of their own. This would lead to the seeds of rebellion being firmly planted in the people of Russia and the animals of Manor Farm. The working class in both scenarios became discontent with how they were neglected and used, choosing to no longer follow a king but rather choosing to rally under one individual. Replacing the cruel and uncaring monarchy with a form of government that benefits the people and the working class seemed to be the best decision at the time, but the message and intentions of such a system became distorted and skewed, so much so that the two ideologies became seemingly identical. In both Manor Farm and Russia, this prosperous system that was meant to save the working class from their constant

Since the animals were like blindfolded, no one made the connection between Boxer's being taken away and the pigs suddenly having more money. The contrast between what the animals believe, what the narrator actually is talking about, and what the reader knows to be the truth, fills one with an anger. (“Animal Farm: Animals Irony”) Animal Farm satirises the breakdown of political ideology and the misuse of power. The major players are animals but their failings are all recognisably human. They begin with an idealistic attempt to form a new society, liberated from the tyranny of humans and founded on the principle of equality and freedom for everyone, but it all goes wrong as the pigs take over.

All humans strive for a Utopian world, but sadly, a utopia will never exist. A utopia is a world where everything is perfect, and everyone is equal. However pleasant the thought is, the reality is impossible. George Orwell and Ayn Rand show this through Animal Farm and Anthem. Animal Farm is a set on Manor Farm in England in the 1900s.

This relates to the theme because, throughout the story, the pigs have been in charge because they have more knowledge than the other animals. They were also really clever and could think of a way around every difficulty the farm experienced. ( Orwell 13) In the middle of the story, some crucial rules were being changed and the animals did not do anything about it. “ … pigs not only took their meals in the kitchen and used the drawing-room as a recreation room, but also slept in the beds.”

Some of the animals in the farm are more educated and literate than others, and this creates a class division among them. The smarter ones, such as the pigs, are considered as the higher-class animals and the less educated ones, such as the horses, are considered as the lower-class animals. As a result, the higher-class animals ruled the lower-class animals by managing the farm’s affairs. Because

However, Orwell depicted, “The animals would still assemble on Sunday mornings to salute to the flag, sing Beasts of England, and receive their orders for the week; but there would be no more debates” (Orwell 54). In the past, the animals had the ability to speak out at the farm Meetings, even if they chose not to. However, now that Napoleon took this right away from them, he got to be in charge of all the decisions for the farm and no one could contradict him. As Animal Farm developed, the pigs slowly disregarded animals’ rights and opinions, and the farm subtly gained more dystopian

One dominant theme in animal farm is totalitarianism and abuse of power. Totalitarianism is defined as a political system in which the state possesses complete authority over the society and controls all aspects of public and private life whenever necessary. The author criticized totalitarianism and believed that it was inevitable in a communist system, as those put in charge will result in the abuse of their power. The theme Orwell intended to get across was that all totalitarian regimes are the same and those who hold power will do anything to maintain it. The pigs, who were the leaders, frequently displayed this throughout the novel.

“All animals are equal.” This is the foundation for the novel Animal Farm in which farm animals rebel against a drunken, abusive farmer and create their own society which they think is flawless. Can everyone be equal while societal structure remains operational? The characters in Animal Farm by George Orwell show that every person is different and that societal structure is based on factors such as intelligence, power, influence, and strength with leadership and power as a constant struggle between multiple forces. Every animal in the book had a different role and a relationship with other animals in the farm that affected his/her societal position and power.

The corrupting effect of power has divided the united farm and drifted the animals far from the ideals of the revolution. In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, an ideal utopian society cannot be achieve because there was a lack of equality, cooperation, and the farm’s corrupt leadership. Equality
