George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm shares a fundamental theme and common elements that shape the idea of an Orwellian society. Orwellian is widely described as a society in which the liberties of all are diminished due to authoritarian rule.

George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm share a very important theme and common elements that shape the idea of an Orwellian society. Orwellian is widely described as a society in which the liberties of all are diminished due to powerful rule.

Tsar Nicholas II, the ruler of Russia, was relinquished on March 15, 1917. He bathed in his riches and opulence, while the assiduous civilians starved and barely survived. The frustration of the people led to riots that Tsar Nicholas II tried

Nicholas II was born on May 6, 1868 in Pashikin, Russia. His father is Alexander III, whom he inherited his throne from, but Nicholas II was not ready. He was crowned on May 26,1894, after his father's death, without having any experience or training to help him rule.

Furthermore, the citizens began to rampage and cause commotion that Nicholas had no alternative but to relinquish his spot on the monarchy.

Animal Farm was written by George Orwell in 1945. The book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. Animal farm includes use of propaganda as well. A quote for example would be “some animals are equal but some are more equal than others.” I think that this book fits that quote very well as the author makes Napoleon along with Snowball are the leaders of the rebellion against Jones.

During the early 1900’s wars and revolutions were raging all around the world. George Orwell in Animal Farm expresses the political tendencies of those who have and those who lack education through characters such as Squealer, Napoleon, Muriel, and Benjamin. In Animal Farm, the message George Orwell sends to his audience is that there is power in obtaining an education that saves one from being bamboozled. The first way Orwell expresses the importance of education is through the pigs, who were the most educated animals on the farm. Within “three months” the pigs had “taught themselves to read and write,” which leads to them having the most power (Orwell 23).

No society in existence can prosper without laws and rules. As simple as some might seem, all rules in a well-organized community are necessary. When the pigs in Animal Farm had the authority to create their own rules to follow, they became power hungry. If people did not have set regulations to follow and be disciplined by, society would crumble into chaos.

In the political satire Animal Farm by George Orwell, it presents a story of farm animals in a society parallel to the communist rule in the Soviet Union. The farm is ruled by pigs that are regarded as the cleverest animals and the two leaders are Snowball and Napoleon. They approach politics differently, with Snowball being the idealist and Napoleon being the Machiavellian. Later in the story, Napoleon sought for power for himself and chased Snowball off of the farm. Under his rule, the farm became in state poorer than what it originally was before with the humans. Napoleon’s tactics to control the farm are ruthless; he used his position in power, fear, and propaganda to maintain his authority over the animals.

"Of the golden future time.. Soon or late the day is coming, Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown, and the fruitful fields of England shall be trod by beast alone. Rings shall vanish from our noses, and the harness from our back, bit and spur shall rust forever, cruel whips no more shall crack." This song gave the animals hope that one day life on the farm would be better. Animal Farm is a mockery of a free society and the needs for change. When the pendulum of power swings drastically in either direction "absolute power tends to corrupt." The animals traded the rule of Mr. Jones for the pigs whom they believed would treat them more fairly, but once the pigs gained total control they lost sight of their goal to make life on the farm better for everyone.

In the novel, Animal Farm, the animals of the Manor Farm work hard to get rid of the one enemy, Man, whom old Major informed them about before he died. The speech old Major had given that night gave the animals deep thought about what was yet to come. They came to believe that anything that goes upon two legs is an enemy, but whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. (pg.11) In fact, they made it part of their seven commandments. They kept these seven commandments in the barn where they held secret meetings once the owner of the farm, Mr. Jones, went to sleep each night. The secret meetings were held by the new “leaders”, Napoleon and Snowball, who have very different views on how the farm should be run.

Rats are considered comrades among the animals. Old Major wants every animal to be equal especially if he wants the animals to stand a chance against Man
