Animal Farm
Animal Farm written by George Orwell is an animal fable happens in a farm where animals start
building a communism society, but end up being totalitarianism, hinting obliquely at the
communists in the real world. The gaps between pigs and other common animals, demonstrate the
theme that the corruption of power appears when majority is ruled. The intelligence superior allows
the pigs placing themselves at a position which is closer to the power and which is more easily to
corrupt. The inability to question the authorization makes the other common animals becoming the
naïve working class who suffers the corrupting influence of power. The nature of pigs, greed, is the
source of their undying lust for ultimate power. At the end, the

Therefore, they need to work harder to avoid being thrown away. Instead of questioning the unfair
treatment, the animals rather think less and do more work. Common animals are naive working
class, who are unable or unwilling to question authority, condemning themselves to suffer the full
extent of the ruling class's oppression. After having a taste of power, the pigs lose themselves in
their lust for ultimate power. Because of the supreme position of the pigs in the farm, a minority
controls the majority of the animals, their greed for power leads to the corruption of the power. First
of all, Napoleon uses dogs to expel Snowball in order to have exclusive power. Napoleon starts to
against every suggestions Snowball proposes at the beginning. He raises the puppy secretly and
shows them up while excluding Snowball. These fierce dogs become a sign of Napoleon's authority
and absolute power. It is the first time that execution happens in the farm, it disobeys the essence of
Animalism, all animals are friends. However, no one dares to question him because Napoleon has
the absolute power, even though it starts corrupting. Secondly, when the pigs move into the
farmhouse and begin sleeping in the beds, the Fourth Commandment turns out to have mysteriously
changed. It now reads "No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets."(Orwell, 67) Bed is a symbol of
being human in the story. The pigs' greed of being human has not

Animal Farm Purpose
George Orwell's novel, Animal Farm, was his very first piece of political writing. On the surface,
this novel is about a group of miserable and mistreated farm animals that overthrow their neglectful
owner; they take control of the farm. However, it too is a political allegory mainly focusing on the
Russian Revolution. Orwell wrote Animal Farm in response to what had occurred in the Russian
Revolution. Seeing how the people were being manipulated over for their freedom, he decided to
write about these events through farm animals. The author's purpose for writing this novel is to warn
his audience that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutly. Orwell's intent in fusing
political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole, was truly

Perhaps orwell wrote this political essay as a form of explaining why the events in Animal Farm and
the Russian Revolution were able to happen. He explains how power can be so easily taken by
manipulating others with just words. Orwell's purpose for " POlitics and Language" was to criticize
politicians for using these methods as a form of manipulation; he also uses this essay as a form of
advice to politicians. We know what his artistic purpose was, for animal farm, and what his political
purpose was too. He was in fact successfull in fusing these 2 in his novel. In Orwells political essay
he stated, "But one can often be in doubt about the effect of a word or phrase..." The author is saying
that one can be so unaware of what words can do to people. Or how words can be a weapon. In
Animal farm he showed how just words based on lies gave power to one. Totalitarism grew from
these lies. Using Napolean, from Animal Farm, Orwell was able to represent the effect
totalitarianism has on a

Animal Farm
Animal Farm by George Orwell, an allegorical reflection of the Russian Revolution, was quite the
opposite of my average read. Opening up a novel about a dystopian society ruled by animals gave
me a whole new perspective about equal rights. The animals in this book endured so many
difficulties that could've been avoided if humans weren't the most dominate species. Which is why I
can understand where they're coming from. Who wouldn't want to rebel against something so
unjust? Any activity we do impacts the planet more than any other kind, so the animals in this story
did have a right to find that unfair. Though some characters blew it out of proportion. It makes one
think, "How come we humans are given the upper hand and animals are forced

After their farmer Jones was overthrown, these three pigs and their comrades attempted to rid the
farm of any accessories made for animals by throwing them in a fire. In chapter two, when asked if
ribbons were allowed, Snowball responded, "Ribbons should be considered as clothes, which are the
mark of a human being. All animals should go naked." For some time after this was stated, animals
went bare. However, in chapter ten, Napoleon and the other pigs contradicted this concept, wearing
clothes from Mr. Jones's wardrobe. It states, "Napoleon himself appearing in a black coat, ratcatcher
breeches, and leather leggings, while his favorite sow appeared in the watered silk dress in which
Mrs. Jones wore on Sundays." Technically, the pigs did not go against the third commandment they
created that read, "No animal shall wear clothes" because it no longer existed. Instead there was
only a single commandment that stated, "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal
than others." So rather than all animals being fair, the pigs received special treatment while the
others continued to suffer. Which is the same as when Jones was around, because he made all the
animals do the harsh labor while he kept all the proceeds for himself, living in a lovely house and
drinking loads of alcohol. The pigs were even walking around on their hind legs like him, and
engaging in business with humans. The difference between them was unrecognizable, as indicated
on the final page. At this point Napoleon never realized that his mentality was equivalent to Jones's
and that he was no better at controlling the farm than he was. They made the same selfish choices
and filled the residents of Animal Farm with
