Examples Of Allegory In Animal Farm By George Orwell

"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.

George Orwell, writer of the book Animal Farm captures important aspects of the Russian Revolution and portrays them in a humorous and more understandable way. Each animal represents an important person or event that happened during this time. Snowball is a pig that lives on Mr. Jones farm who is enthralled at the idea of a Revolution and one of the main animals to help get it going. The inspiration for his character was from important revolutionist, Leon Trotsky. Snowball was modeled after him, showing most of his character trails and interest. Most of the people and events that look place throughout Trotsky’s life are also incorporated in Snowball’s life. Orwell’s imagination ran wild as he wrote this memorable story so that he might

Animal Farm is an allegory of the Russian Revolution, it is based on certain aspects of the Revolution. For example, revolting the government, all of the animals on the farm group together to overthrow their cruel owner because they believe they are not being treated as well as they should be. When the animals come into power after overthrowing their master the pigs consider themselves to be the dictators on the farm, snowball one of the pigs starts to plan building a windmill to give power to the farm but Napoleon is not happy that snowball is leading the animals in thought, so he starts blaspheming him, the animals are agreeing for Snowballs idea but now Napoleon is outraged. Napoleon lets out a high pitch squeal and out of nowhere a pack of dogs he raised from puppies ran after Snowball and chased him into

An allegory is similar to symbolism but that instead of one thing standing for another meaning, the whole story stands for a greater meaning. "Animal Farm" is a great example of an allegory because every aspect of the story symbolizes something in real life and George Orwell was trying to point out something that was happening everyday. In the time "Animal Farm" was released, Russia had a lot of things going on. The people were overthrowing the traditional czarist country and leading a communist revolution, whether they knew it or not. Mr. Jones represents the czar in power before they were overthrown by a new power, the pigs. The animals represent the people, or the working class.

Napoleon and Squealer use lies manipulate the other naive animals, leading to unjust treatment of the workers. when the windmill is knocked over by a heavy storm, Napoleon takes advantage of the situation and blames Snowball. “ ‘Do you know the enemy who has come in the night and overthrown the windmill? SNOWBALL!’ he suddenly roared in a voice of thunder. ‘Snowball has done this thing!’”(70). As shown, Napoleon is blaming Snowball for the farm’s failures, instead of taking the blame for mediocre planning of the windmill. Orwell uses auditory imagery combined with a metaphor to convey how manipulative Napoleon is, reacting emotionally when telling a lie. Here, Napoleon is using his eloquence to give a convincing argument and wrongly persuade the simple-minded animals into believing that Snowball was at fault. These actions demonstrate the dangers of an uneducated and gullible working class, ready to believe anything, making them believe that the leaders could not be at fault. In addition, after many years,

Eventually Major dies, yet because of the speech the animals begin to dream of a better life. One in particular Snowball takes on a leadership role. It starts by being asked about what would happen to the farm. One instance in particular Mollie one of the horses asks if she will have sugar and ribbons in her hair afterwards in which he replies, “ "those ribbons that you are so devoted to are the badge of slavery. Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than ribbons?". This speaks to Snowballs view on life on the farm. This can also be portrayed as how Trotsky had a more open, forward frame of mind during the start of the Russian Revolution. The Animals eventually stage an uprising on a night that Mr. Jones and the other farmers get drunk. They take over the farm and chase the others out of town. After this they hold a huge bonfire and burn ribbons and other equipment and set into place a set of commandments. Some are all animals are created equal, No animal shall harm another animal, no animal should drink alcohol, and one of the mottos was “two legs good, four legs bad.”.
