Soviet Union Animal Farm

Animal Farm is used as a literary device to symbolize the rise of Soviet Communism in an animal based story. In a more broad perspective, it is also a metaphor for human society and government, no matter the form. The pigs show the nearly inevitable development of tyranny in a the upper, more powerful classes, and how this is detrimental to the integrity of democracy and freedom. On the other hand, the lower class animals are used to display the dangers of having a naive, or uneducated working class that allows itself to be manipulated and lied to by the people that reside above them in the social

The imagery used in Animal Farm is very powerful and descriptive, it shows the characteristics of the allegorical life and individuals. Mr. Jones, is a horrible leader and the animals can not take it anymore, so a meeting is assembled, but is abruptly broken up by Czar. Before the death of Old Major, “He seized the gun which always stood in a corner of his bedroom, and let fly a number 6 shot into the darkness. The pellets buried themselves in the wall of the barn and the meeting broke up hurriedly” a meeting is adjourned because of the raising suspicions of the animals (Orwell 10). Mr. Jones or Czar, is becoming more suspicious of the animals because of the ruckus they keep making through the night. Little does he know that the animals are planning to rebel against Mr. Jones, also at this time the propaganda used by the pigs is beginning to deceive the animals. After Snowball was driven away, Napoleon came out of the barn standing upright like a human with his dogs or the KGB, alongside him. It can be inferred that Napoleon has turned into a communistic leader with full power of the farm as “He carried a whip in his trotter”(Orwell 91). Napoleon has influenced the animals so much that the sheep changed the maxim to “Four legs good but two legs better”, the animals still see him as more of a dictator rather than a communistic leader. The animals also change the commandments to say that some animals are more equal than others, this conveys the development of communism from dictatorship is growing exponentially. While Orwell’s incorporation of imagery throughout Animal Farm has its importance, language has an immense impact as well.

Squealer is a animal on the farm that gives out false information so the pigs can get what they want. Squealer represents the Russian Propaganda. The Russian Propaganda would tell Russian civilians to join together to make one big group and revolt against their leader. This group mostly consisted of workers.

Imagine if the hands of time could be turned back to see what life for the Soviet Union would have been like without Joseph Stalin’s dictatorship. Imagine a land of equality without people living under corrupted rule that lead miserable lives. This is the perfect utopian society that everyone living in the Soviet Union during the Russian Revolution wanted their life to be like. Leon Trotsky, represented by Snowball in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, would have transformed the Soviet Union into exactly this society as he was the better leader, yet he was unable to convey this message to the people. Leon Trotsky’s actions and governmental implementations were beneficial to the rise of the Soviet Union.
