Orwell believed that although socialism is an ideal, it could never be obtained successfully due to our thirst for power. For example Napoleon seems at first to be a good leader but he is eventually overcome by greed and soon becomes power hungry. This is seen in the beginning of the novella, the 7 commandments of animalism served all of the animals equality. By chapter 10 the 7 commandments are reduced to one, to benefit one person - Napoleon, “All animals are equal but some are more equal than other” (p.g 90.) This is further exemplified by the use of the windmill to make a profit to fit the pig’s lavish lifestyle instead of using it to provide electricity to the animals

Although Animal Farm does not have any heroic characters, in the story there is a death of a supporting character. The death of a supporting character neither glorifies nor diminishes the supporting character to anything more or less significant. All characters, whether they are the major characters or even a minor, supporting character, they all do not have a complete story. There are no completely round characters in literature. Characters die; characters exist, simply for the sake of the plot, not so that the reader would know the life story of each and every character.

The book I have read is Animal Farm, by George Orwell. The main overview of the story starts out with a bunch of animals on a farm planning to rebel against their owner, Mr. Jones. The leaders of this rebellion are pigs, known as Snowball and Napoleon. Once they successfully took over the farm they started to develop a self sufficient town within itself. Next, the humans try to take back their farm, but the animals win.

The rebellion was to escape from people and their cruel ways, but can they escape the death-grip of their own kind? The animals of animal farms are mistreated and have no rights. Mr and Mrs. Jones were the owners of Manor Farm, the human oppressors, and authoritarians of the animals. The animals rebel against the Jones and take over the farm. They create a utopian society for themselves, but the utopia quickly turns into a dystopia when the pigs take control of the farm. In many ways, Animal Farm is a complete allegorical / fable –like retelling of the founding of the Soviet Union, complete with a rebellion and eventual installation of a dictator. Like the ideological battle that was raged in Russia between the classes, the one that is played out in this novel have many of the same themes, including an initial push to strengthen the working class, a strong beginning movement of nationalism and unity, a series of successful efforts to topple the ruling authority (Mr. Jones), all followed by a complete totalitarian takeover by a dictator who is a hypocrite and goes back on many of the promises he made at the height of the revolutionary action.
