George Orwell's Animal Farm

The day had come for Boxer to leave the farm and go to the hospital. Napoleon at midday went over alone to Boxer and told him it was time to leave. Napoleon made sure they walked slowly past all the other animals, so they wouldn’t notice. As they got to the van Boxer started to think how it was going to be at the hospital, all he knew was the farm, he never experienced anything else. As Napoleon was helping Boxer into the van Boxer noticed that there was blood all over the floor of the van however he didn’t think much of it because due to his loyalty to Napoleon.

In the book, the pigs are the bad guys throughout almost every part of the book. In the beginning, old major put the thought of revolution into the brain of the other animals, and this is what started the whole thing. Next was Snowball, who found a good way to run the farm in a way where every animal was equal or at least close to it. After he was overthrown, Napoleon took charge which started the downfall of the animal farm. First, Napoleon started taking advantage of the animals by overworking them and not feeding them enough.

The pigs used “animalism” to their advantage and also changed its rules for their benefit. Old Major never meant for Napoleon to use his ideas of “sharing” to cause more problems for the other animals than before under Mr.

As someone gains more and more power, they increasingly become corrupted with that power. In the novel, Mr. Jones, the owner of the farm, neglects, abuses and mistreats his animals until he is thrown out. When one of the pigs, Napoleon,

The pigs lie to the other animals about the food shortage too, along with the outside world. They tell the other animals that food production is up 400% from when Jones ran the farm and this makes all the animals content and none of them question it. The pigs use lying and hypocrisy to make the animals do what they want. If the other animals on the farm knew that the pigs were lying to them about the food supply they would probably rebel and question Napoleon’s leadership. He lies to the animals so that they don’t rebel and so they are content with working under Napoleon’s

In Animals Farm, there is a pig who’s name Napoleon. This character did not contributed to the society with his actions. In effect, he did not respect the concept of “Animalism” which is the equality of all the animals. He did many actions that broke this conception during the entire story. At the beginning, Napoleon, take the farm with Snowball when the farmer, Mr. Jones, left.

The corruption of power in Animal Farm has gone badly. The entire pigs act like a monarch over other animals. They often corrupt in some many ways especially Napoleon and Mr. Jones that they all have different leadership except all of them are dictators. One of the things that make Farmer Jones bad is that they don’t feed the animals properly.

The pigs attempt to hide their oppressive nature by calling the animals comrade. However, this phrase carries no meaning, as no mutual respect exists between them. As this dynamic progresses on the farm, Napoleon begins to be glorified in a similar manner to the way in which Mr. Jones experienced glorification previously. The animals easily fall victim to this, as they feel respect by only being called comrade, shedding light on their ignorance. Before the animals know it, the previous commandments are changed to “ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS” (Orwell 134).

Fables are significantly viewed upon because of their twisted display of valuable morals and teachings. Fables focus on a precise theme or concept that is interestingly portrayed with the use of animals. *CONTROVERSIAL question* The fictional, fable novel Animal Farm, by George Orwell teaches that abuse of authority, deceitful tactics, and pursuing power will lead to rebellion resulting in corruption. Animal Farm thoroughly depicts the major causes of rebellion in hope of preventing the future of any corruption similar to the true history of the novel.

At the start of the rebellion, Manor proclaimed that “Even when we have conquered Man, we must not resemble him or adopt his vices”. However, at the end of the novel, there is no real difference between man and pigs. The pigs dress in Jones’s clothing’s, subscribe to Daily Mirror and even drink with the neighbouring farmers. Napoleon even confirms that the “title-deeds were owned by the pigs jointly”. It finally dawned upon the animals that the utopian life that they envisioned was only a

Initially, Mollie did not conform to old Major’s teachings. Mollie enjoys wearing ribbons, but is told that ribbons are the animals enemy treasures; and the animals should not wear them. When the animals defeat the humans, the humans ribbons are to go with them. But, Mollie did not care and chose to ignore the animals. After the rebellion, the animals found Mollie “in the best bedroom...taken a piece of blue ribbon from Mrs. Jones’s dressing table...admiring herself in the glass”(41).

Animal Farm, A Dystopian Society Dystopian societies involve bloodshed, espionage, and countless tragedies among the citizens of the society. The goal of creating a successful society is very difficult to accomplish due to the amount of criteria a society must meet to become successful. A utopia is a society where everything is perfect and everyone is happy, while a dystopia is a society where everyone is under complete control and the government is often conniving. Animal farm can be portrayed as a dystopian society due to the farm’s cunning, but evil, leader and the multiple traits of dystopian societies that can be clearly seen on the farm. The propaganda used by Squealer in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, as well as the frowned upon dissent and false fantasy of the farm being a utopia, prove that The Animal Farm is a dystopian society.

George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm, while it is a good read there is an underlying meaning to this story. Many people theorize animal farm is a representation of the Russian Revolution and communism. The animals repeat “all animals are equal” throughout the book, to me this makes me think of how the Russians opposed capitalism because they felt it would divide the people and therefore people wouldn’t be equal. If you pay close attention you can pretty easily guess which animal groups represented which people and social classes during the Russian Revolution, in the beginning Napoleon appears to represent Lenin, meanwhile Snowball represents Trotsky, it later appears that napoleon represents Stalin because he chases out Snowball and creates

George Orwell or the name he is most famous for was an English essayist, and also a popular critic. He became such starting off with a rough life, and finding his own way through life by following what he believed to be right. Orwell also spoke his opinion, and if I did, I think I’d go by another name as well. His involvement in the events going on around him made him able to create such deep and satirical writings. He is most famous for his satires, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, both of which came toward the end of his career, as he had bad health issues and spent most of his life from hospital to hospital.

Imagine a community with no hate, no war, and no famine. A place where everyone is accepted and everything is better than imaginable. This idea of perfection is known as a utopia, an ideal society. A utopia is known as a successful, perfect society. A place where everything goes right for everyone that lives there.
