The saying "ignorance is bliss" is not always very accurate. The book Animal Farm by George Orwell is an allegory for a real historical event – the Russian Revolution. It demonstrates how people's ignorance can be the cause of their social and political oppression and how the knowledge of others' ignorance can lead to power, which ultimately corrupts those who possess it. These themes are portrayed through the characters and in real life.

Power is one of the most desired things in the world, and is often hard to attain, but once it is gained it can often corrupt a person.

The pigs gain the power for many reasons. When power is gained there are many things people can do with it, either bad or good.

Animal Farm by George Orwell and The Lives of Others by Florian von Donnersmarck have highlighted the dangers inherent in a Totalitarian society by using stylistic features. The stylistic features used include, symbolism of art, and themes of corruption and hope. Animal Farm is an allegory for communism, specifically the 1917 Russian Revolution the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union and reflects on many of the events that lead up to the revolt. The Lives of Others is an allegory for socialism, specifically the German Democratic Republic during the Second World War. And although both focus on different times, both Orwell and Donnersmarck have used the power of artistic expression in their respective works.

Ignorance is one of the key factors that led to the totalitarian rule as well as enslavement of the animals on the farm. Education plays a diminutive role during the whole story.

The animals had decided that “the pigs, who were manifestly cleverer than the other animals, should decided all the questions of farm policy”. (62)

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” (Lord Acton, 1887). This quote explains why Napoleon failed to create the perfect society that he dreamed of. Humans are very weak yet very wicked and corrupt. As the book Animal Farm describes how evil the animals have become, the author, George Orwell, is trying to show how evil the humans had become during the Soviet Union era. When people have the power, people tend to fail to control that power; the effect of power is similar to that of drugs.

Humankind has always had a thirst for power; over its peers, environment and spiritual beliefs. To quench this thirst it has gone as far as genocide; but has often employed more subtle techniques, such as mind control. In today’s socio-economical and political worlds, mind control plays a key role in dictating tastes and lifestyles; as well as controlling political thoughts, views, and people’s understanding of the world.
