Though as time progresses, Squealer alters the wording of the Commandments to decriminalize the pigs’ acts. For example, after Napoleon executes animals to his liking, Squealer changes the sixth Commandment that prohibits murder to “No animal shall kill any other animal without cause

Napoleon and the pigs changed the commandments on the animals to make them look like they made a mistake while reading them. One of the commandments that the

through Napolean’s constant and complete disregard of the Seven Commandments, the foundation upon which Animalism was created. Napolean shows various times throughout the novel that he has no intention of following these guidelines that he had helped to establish. This is ironic because since he helped to determine these rules, it is unexpected that he would later disagree with and disobey them. For example, the Fourth Commandment says, “No animal shall sleep in a bed” (Orwell 24), yet it is soon

Another example is when Squealer kept changing the commandments to fit the government's desires. None of the other animals were

Orwell compares Animal Farm to the Russian revolution, which leads to symbols throughout this novel. Authors today are extremely different from Orwell. Some of the symbolic meanings are the barn, the windmill, the Russian revolution, the seven commandments, and the battle of the cowshed, with a multitude of more.
