George Orwell's Animal Farm as A Satire upon the Totalitarian State
Answers
Answer:
he book Animal Farm, is a political satire of a totalitarian society ruled by a mighty dictatorship, in all probability an allegory for the events surrounding the Russian Revolution. The animals of “Manor Farm” overthrow their human master (Mr. Jones) after a long history of mistreatment. Little by little, the pigs become dominant, gaining more power and advantage over the other animals, so much so that they become as corrupt and power-hungry as their predecessors, the humans. Major (an old boar) tells them that the source of all their problems is man, and that they must remove man from their midst for hopes of a Utopia. After Major’s death Napoleon and Snowball, two boars led the rebellion were soon things start to change. Orwell builds Napoleon’s career in reference to this quote, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Napoleon cheated, manipulated, and killed because of greediness for one’s place in power. Mr. Jones tries to reclaim his power but the animals prevent him from doing so in what they call “The Battle of the Cowshed.” After the battle, Napoleon drives Snowball off the farm telling everyone that Snowball was on Mr. Jones’ side. This is just the beginning of what Napoleon’s plans are for the future of Manor Farm. This is no surprise coming from Napoleon, based on what he has done before, always disagreeing with Snowballs plans and thinking of his own. Napoleon is further appreciated by the other animals for exposing and removing the traitor, Snowball, from their midst.

Overall, this book 1s set in the foreground of a future time when animals have become much cleverer than now
and the pigs go on to start a revolution against the humans. Since pigs could speak fluently in English unlike the
other animals, they assume the power to be leaders.
Let's review the prelude first. So, here is some background to the foreground...
Old Major, the pigs first leader, was kind and fair who knew animals should be equal. But when Napoleon becomes
the leader it gets very unpleasant because he made a rule that allowed the pigs to have better food and that
condemned all of the other animals to do backbreaking work every day and night . To top it all, Napoleon the pig
wanted more power. He decides to kill his brother, Snowball, so that he would become the undisputed leader.
Snowball was popularly admired by the pigs and other animals as he had come up with an ingenious idea to build
windmill and also because of his role in the revolution. He and a hard working horse, Boxer, were the wisest of the
lot. This selfish pig, Napoleon, destroyed the windmill that the animals had built and blamed Snowball who
escaped the farm. Napoleon made the animals work even harder, making them famished and even die. If any of the
animals were found to be clever like Napoleon, he would just get them executed. My favourite character in the
story is the hardworking horse Boxer, who would work the hardest of the animals, and work untiringly
irrespective of how old he gets. Realising his social situation in the hierarchy, he never complained to Napoleon,
and rather slyly said, "Napoleon is always right" till the time turned favourable to him later on in the story. This
b0ok made me reminisce another book from my past reading, whose name I fail to recall, in which the protagonist
is like Snowball and the anti-hero is like Napoleon. The latter defeats the former but then turns tyrannical and
conceited to finally invite his own downfall.
