Ignorance And Education In George Orwell's Animal Farm

In Geroge Orwell’s “Animal Farm”, it explores the importance of education and the power of language and rhetoric. The pigs, by using tricky wording, and abusing the fact that the other animals don’t have a proper education, cause the other animals who are always trusting of the pigs, to believe anything that the pigs desire. This leads to cases of the animals’ memories, and what the pigs claim to be history, clashing with each other, and bubbles of doubt begin to form. The importance of education and power of language and rhetoric are to protect you from being manipulated, not to be reliant on others for information, and to have a better understanding of the world around you.

Animal Farm presents a clever fable of an animal revolution against their human superiors, resulting in the more ‘intelligent’ pigs taking advantage of the other farm animals by using manipulative propaganda.

The animals that had confessed to their heinous crimes were executed by the dogs who ‘tore their throats out’. By doing so, the animals experience physical fear for the first time since Animal Farm was formed.

To begin, in the stories of “Animal Farm” the book concludes on how the animals of Manor Farm turn into the owner of them by dictating each other, stealing ideas from one another, changing rules, overworking each other, and being just overall a communist farm. The author’s perspective and tone regarding intelligence explains how the pigs and Napoleon used their intelligence to trick and persuade the animals to their way of living.

The pigs dictate the animals and use them as slaves because they were not intelligent.

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.”
