Animal Farm Equality

In the novel, Animal Farm by George Orwell, many events have happened on the farm as the book surrounds itself on the Russian Revolution. As problems start to arise on the farm due to the idea of equality in Animalism, animals on the farm revolted to get their fair share. Soon they were able to overthrow their human master after a long period of mistreatment. Not long after, the pigs started to lead the animals since they were believed to be more “intelligent” than the rest. However as time goes on, the pigs took advantage of this and became more dominant on the farm, especially with Napoleon, who was one of the pigs. His power on the farm led him into becoming a power-hungry pig, which negatively impacted him. Napoleon’s selfish behavior

From the very beginning, Napoleon and the pigs take charge and make the other animals do the work for them, while the pigs just supervise. In chapter three, when they begin working on plowing the fields, the pigs do not do anything other than tell the others what to do, “The pigs did not actually work, but directed and supervised the other” (20). The pigs, from the very start of animal farm, took charge and only directed and told others what to do. They solidified their positions as leader’s right at the beginning of the farm. Also, at the end of the book, the pigs, to show their leadership, carry whips around to make sure the work gets done, “After that it did not seem strange when next day the pigs who were supervising the work of the farm all carried whips in their trotters” (92). Since the creation of the farm the pigs started to slowly present the fact that they would take charge, and in the beginning when they were nice about it no one argued with them. By the end though, the animals finally realized what had happened, but by then it was too late for them to do anything about it. Admittedly, Napoleon and the rest of the pigs are greedy because they take all the extra food and make the others work like slaves, but that does not make them ineffective in the ways they make the animals work. Napoleon showed his effectiveness as a

Imagine a world where every person is equal: everyone has the same possessions, everyone shows respect to each other, no one kills anyone else, and no authority rises over others to give dictating commands. It sounds wonderful doesn’t it? George Orwell’s haunting book Animal Farm shows however, the near impossibility it is to make that idea a reality. In this fairy tale, a group of oppressed farm animals revolt against the tyrannical bonds of their evil master Farmer Jones, chases him off the farm, and attempt to make a society based on the idea listed above. But instead of having this incredible society, the pigs decide to make one instead where they are the ultimate authority. This book highlights the dangers of trying to establish an

"All oppression creates a state of war" -Simone de Beauvar, French Philosopher. Animal Farm by George Orwell is an allegory for the Russian Revolution. Each animal was a key character in the Revolution such as Napoleon being Joseph Stalin, Mr. Jones being Tsar Nicholas and Boxer, being an ignorant. Mr.Jones was run off the farm because the animals were tired of the drunken man mistreating them. What the animals didn't know was that they went from one dictator to a whole group of them. The pigs. Ignorance contributes to political and social oppression and is proved by the inability to comprehend what the pigs are doing to the other animals. The animals cannot read or write as well, are perplexed easily, couldn't see the blemishes in the pig's leadership, or how the pigs changed things and didn't see or completely ignored how the pigs had acted.

Since the beginning of civilization, humans have domesticated animals and exploited their labor for personal gain. In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, however the animals take control of Manor Farm from their human overlords and rename it Animal Farm. They decree that on Animal Farm all animals are equal, and instill seven commandments to ensure that the animals stay equal. Throughout the novel Orwell shows the destruction of the egalitarian utopia that the animals have created. He suggests that the flaws of human nature are too much to overcome, and that this “perfect” and equal society is impossible. In the novel Animal Farm, George Orwell demonstrates that the human tendency to manipulate and be manipulated is what prevents us from being perfect.

To fully take control over Animal Farm, the government spread the message that the farm could not prosper or function without the pigs. This message allowed the pigs to gain many privileges in the farm without question. From the very beginning of the story, the other animals regarded the pigs as the smartest of all the animals in the farm. Because of this, it was naturally assumed that the pigs should lead the farm into rebellion against the humans and guide the animals into a better life. However, the pigs gained more control than the other animals thought they would. The pigs, especially Squealer, convinced the other animals that they should be allowed special privileges because they were shouldering the most “burdens” of all the

Imagine you were an animal who was kind and hard working but was neglected by your owners. How would that make you feel? The animals in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, a satirical novel written about communist Russia, felt sad and neglected because their owners did not treat them with respect. The big pig named Old Major puts the idea in the animals head that they are not being treated poorly and they should do something about it. After Old Major dies, the animals overthrow Farmer Jones. Once the animals are on their own, the pigs take over and become the leaders. They create a new form of government which is called “Animalism” where all the animals are equal. At first the animals are happy but as time progresses the pigs start abusing their power and start acting like humans. The pigs and in particular Napoleon do not care about the well being of the other animals. Then they start stealing all the milk, and rewriting the history to suit themselves. In addition, the pigs order alcohol have parties, and they use the farm for their own selfish reasons and don't care about the other animals. Animal farm represents the sad results of a failed utopia, just as it happened over and over in history. Orwell uses symbolism, Irony, modern fable, and character foil to add richness and depth to the fable.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” (97). Orwell wrote this sentence to show how much life on the farm changed throughout the book. The pigs’ thought process and regard for the other animals completely changed.

It is immediately decided that the pigs will be the leader of the farm, as they are the most intelligent animals there. This gives them the power over the other animals, even though they claim they are all equal. Since they are in charge, it is easier for them to weave ideas in to the susceptible minds of the others. Once they are proven to be

The educated animals are the ones with power, and the pigs take advantage of this including, the leaders, Snowball and Napoleon. In Animal Farm, pigs are not expected to work but only dictate and supervise the other animals. They walk behind the workers, "calling out ‘Gee up, comrade!’ or ‘Whoa back, comrade!’"(11), to order them around. The productions are then handed out unfairly as the milk is added to the pig's meal and the ripening apples are only shared among them. Although the other animals find this absurd, Squealer convinces them by saying the farm depends on the intelligence of the pigs and must be cared for the most in case Mr.Jones comes back to take over the farm once again. The animals dislikes for such a scenario to happen and

“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.
