Animal Farm by George Orwell

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.

a. Orwell’s “Animal Farm” is an allegory due to the usage of the concept of animals on a farm, which is usually a lighthearted subject, being used to reflect the events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917.

In the beginning of the story, the Major, whom is an old middle white boar, encourages the other animals to start a rebellion. He wanted to kick out the owner of the farm, Mr. Jones, so that animals may instead rule the farm. “Why then do we continue in this miserable

Animal farm is a renowned, allegorical novella written by George Orwell in 1945, which can be interpreted to have a hidden political meaning behind it referring to the Russian Revolution. Throughout this novella, the author purposely positions the audience to make judgements based on sensible, moral perception to show that Orwell effectively revealed how the pigs exploited a vast majority of propaganda techniques to deceptively manipulate the values, attitudes and beliefs of the other animals, with full intention of complete social control. This was exposed to the reader when the three main values of ‘Animalism’, as outlined in Old Major's speech, which consists of freedom, unity and equality, are abused for the pigs own advantage. This task

In Animal Farm by George Orwell, when Old Major, a decidedly respected old pig, is telling the animals on the farm about what humans will eventually do to them, he claims “‘To that horror we all must come … Jones will sell you to the knacker, who will cut your throat and boil you down for the foxhounds. As for the dogs, when they grow old and toothless, Jones ties a brick round their necks and drowns them in the nearest pond.’” (Orwell). His statement emphasizes on the lack of justice and liberty for the animals in the farm. As the animals trust Old Major, they heed his words and act upon it for the better. For a society to function successfully, the most important values are justice, liberty, and trust because they maintain an orderly and

It can be thought that those who always put their people first are the most successful leaders. In the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, the pig Snowball adopts this style of leadership. His actions and intentions are always for the best of the group. Others may not use this leadership style like Napoleon another pig competing for the title of leader of Animal Farm. Napoleon instead uses his power to “lead the group”. He suppresses, persecutes, and uses fear to keep control of the masses and to eventually become the leader. Snowball may have the people’s vote but, he’s against Napoleon’s brute force. It may seem that power and only power is necessary to be a successful leader but, the actions of Napoleon and Snowball in Animal Farm prove this wrong.

George Orwell once said, “All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome” (“BrainyQuote.com”).

George Gurdjieff was an influential spiritual teacher in the early twentieth century. He references in the following quote that when one is uneducated he will always remain a slave. “Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave.” (Gurdjieff) This ties in with how the animals are treated in George Orwell’s Animal Farm.

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

The purpose of the Russian Revolution was to have a land where all of the animals are equal and all treated fairly. As time goes on, the pigs become the leaders and it is clear that they put themselves first and in a better position under Napoleon, eventually this ends up creating a hierarchy. This hierarchy separates all of the animals and they are not equal anymore. This novel also shows how citizens can be manipulated and even brainwashed by a group or government by the use of propaganda. Using propaganda and fear, even a revolution with intentions of total equality can turn into an unfair state.
