    As symbolism in Animal Farm, there is just a lot to interpret in this story. To me the symbolism is more of an allegory because it is more like a political moral. According to Eric Blair also known as George Orwell, Animal Farm is a fable, which by definition is a short story played by animals conveying a moral to the reader. Although the main context of the story is about the USSR and the rise and fall of Communism, to George Orwell, it can represent both communist and capitalist government. But

    Animal Farm by George Orwell, an allegorical reflection of the Russian Revolution, was quite the opposite of my average read. Opening up a novel about a dystopian society ruled by animals gave me a whole new perspective about equal rights. The animals in this book endured so many difficulties that could’ve been avoided if humans weren’t the most dominate species. Which is why I can understand where they’re coming from. Who wouldn’t want to rebel against something so unjust? Any activity we do impacts
