Animal Farm By George Orwell

Many of the characters and events of Orwell's novel are parallel those of the Russian Revolution: In short, Manor Farm is a model of Russia, and old Major, Snowball, and Napoleon represent the dominant figures of the Russian Revolution. They were very violent and just wanted to push it off like nothing happened. One of Orwell's goals in writing Animal Farm was to illustrate the Russian Revolution of 1917 as one that resulted in a government more oppressive, totalitarian, and deadly.

Orwell uses the allegory, Animal Farm, to present the story of The Russian Revolution and essentially express his opinions on the matter. By plainly exposing the unjust and corrupt system that is communism, Orwell is ultimately presenting his pessimistic view of human nature.

The ninety-five page novella, Animal Farm, written by George Orwell. Aimed at teenagers and adults, it cleverly shows the flaws within society and how we will never change.

Being deceived is not something noticed on first glance; small, seemingly harmless steps with perfectly reasonable explanations are taken first. Through the oppression and control of the non-pigs in Animal Farm, George Orwell warns that the negative results that come from ignorance are the likeliness of being deceived, unawareness of social change, and people’s inability to objectively judge their situation.

Every ninety-eight seconds, an American is sexually assaulted; however, only six out of a thousand rapists will end up prison. Not only are evil actions being done, they are actions that go unpunished. Along with sexual assault, people choose actions like murder, torture, and even more mild offenses like lying. People may even seek pleasure from these activities. Climate change, political agendas, and intolerance across the globe are all examples of human created problems that could be avoided if human weren’t fundamentally horrible. According to literary, historical and modern research, humans are generally violent and awful.

In Animal Farm by George Orwell, Old Major declares “‘And even the miserable lives we lead are not allowed to reach their natural span. For myself I do not grumble, for I am one of the lucky ones. I am twelve years old and have had over four hundred children. Such is the natural life of a pig. But no animal escapes the cruel knife in the end. You young porkers who are sitting in front of me, every one of you will scream your lives out at the block within a year. To that horror we all must come--cows, pigs, hens, sheep, everyone. Even the horses and the dogs have no better fate. You, Boxer, the very day that those great muscles of yours lose their power, Jones will sell you to the knacker, who will cut your throat and boil you down for the

Life is grief when the goal we are striving toward suddenly crush, and our weakness and frailty lead us to have no hope to get any result from the long period of time working. We always say to people, do not let anyone get you down, but in real life, people get easily depressed because they did not achieve their goals. In Animal Farm, Orwell gives a picture of those hardworking animals work for the windmill. They pinch and screw in order to save more outlay for building the windmill. However, the windmill is destroyed by human. And this pain is known only by those real trier. There is no guarantee of outcomes for those animals to work hard for the windmills. Orwell alludes the audience that human weakness to be unable to secure favorable outcomes. Since animals did not gain the outcome they expected to get, one of the strongest worker, Boxer is very grieved and angry about human so that he stands up for all of the animals. Boxer yelled to Squealer, “But they have destroyed the windmill. And we had worked on it for two years!”(Orwell 105) Boxer is despairing about the destruction of the windmill. He has worked it for two years, but it is destroyed in one second. “Two years” is a long period of working time. Day after day those animals wait for the outcome of this windmill. One of the frailties of human nature is laziness. Even though these animals beat laziness, the outcome is still not what they want, and this is indeed sorrowful. The even sorrowful thing is that Squealer,

The corrupting effect of power is one of the focal topic of George Orwell’s allegorical novel, ‘Animal Farm’. When too much power is given, a dictatorship government can shape, in which all choices are made by one authority, which Orwell depicts through Napoleon. George Orwell portrays how authority can without a doubt corrupt organised societies. In the novel Old Major, who is a valued animal on the farm, had given a speech to push the animals towards a rebellion.

“All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.” In George Orwell’s novel, Animal Farm, farm animals drive out their farmer and live in an environment where all animals are equal. However, the pigs, the smartest animals on the farm, end up taking over the farm and controlling all the animals. They trick the animals into believing they are doing everything for the benefit of the farm, when in reality they are doing it for themselves. The famous quote mentioned in this novel not only explains a scene in the book; it also shows the Orwell’s true purpose for writing the story: his hatred towards communism and Stalin’s rule. An author shows his or her purpose through the text’s hidden meanings, the structure of the text, the sequence of events, and the diction of the text.

When Animal Farm was first published in 1945, the end of World War Two had finally drawn near and the people of Europe, North America, and other communities across the country had grown weary of the misuse of power on a global level. The rise of the Soviet Union in Russia represented a new potential threat for the countries of the Western world as the same strategies and tactics that Soviet leaders used to come into and maintain power had been seen in the early stages of countless other countries beforehand. The guise in which these Soviet leaders claimed their authority, however, was much more subtle and in the eyes of their subjects, justified, than the direct and brutal rise to power other totalitarian governments had crafted beforehand. Orwell noticed the spread of propaganda and misinformation among the people of the Soviet Union and related it in much the same way to the culture of complicity which the Nazis had fostered among their own people just a few years prior. Orwell’s novel, Animal Farm, explores this sense of naiveté among the masses and attempts to characterize it through the eyes of animals rather than humans in order to give the absurdity of the phenomenon a physical representation. Through the use of both observational techniques of recognizing specific instances where naiveté was used as a tool for totalitarian government as well as argumentative tactics meant to convey the significance of this theme in the novel as a whole it is clear to see that the

Animal Farm, an allegorical novel by George Orwell, depicts a very clear picture of the events leading up to the 1917 Russian Revolution and the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. The techniques Orwell has used when writing this piece allows his robust view points and prominent reoccurring themes to become clear. A couple of themes that stood out the most to me was the use of education and intelligence, as well as corruption of power and leadership to fuel oppression. Orwell uses the imagery of a farm and the farmyard animals to represent Russia and the dominant figures of the time. Other techniques such as satire were also used to portray his opinions and key messages.

Human rights have been at the centre of the free world officially from the beginning of the seventeenth century with the Bill of Rights (1688/1689). They are described as “moral principles or norms that describe certain standards of human behaviour, and are regularly protected as legal rights in national and international law” (Nickel, 2010). Basically human rights are entitlements which human beings have, which can help them develop to their full potential. They are also described as ‘The rights that one has simply because one is human.’ However, not all human beings have the privilege of experiencing human rights. Some people have described human rights as a ‘gift of the West to the Rest’. In this essay I will look at both aspects of this theory, to figure out whether human rights really do exist in full flow in the non-Western countries, and whether human rights have been violated in Western countries themselves. In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, the plot of the book is worked around one quote… “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” (Orwell, 1954). I believe that this quote is very relevant to this question. It could imply that the West see themselves as much more equal that the rest of the world and this is why they are giving human rights as a ‘gift’.
