George Orwell uses pigs and animal rebellions to symbolize Communists
and the Russian Revolution in "Animal Farm," an allegorical satirical fable told
through the eyes of England barnyard animals.
The reader experiences the animals of Manor Farm rebelling against their
farmer, Mr. Jones. After the rebellion, the pigs fill the role of Mr. Jones.
Although the naive animals do not notice, their ideals of freedom dissolve as
the pigs become more powerful.
The novel has entertaining characters. The vain horse, Mollie, only pays
attention to herself. The apathetic donkey, Benjamin, knows the pig's true
motives but does not warn the other animals.
To a child, the novel depicts talking animals. The hard-working horse,
Boxer, and the vicious pig, Napolean, are just barnyard animals with
personalities.
However, "Animal Farm" is an allegory. Orwell depicts Communism through the animals' idea of Animalism, in which all animals
are equal. Napolean mirrors Joseph Stalin. Just as Stalin banished Leon Trotsky,
Napolean banishes the other pig, Snowball, from the farm.
"Animal Farm" is a smart and witty look into politics. Through satire,
Orwell points out the weaknesses in us all.
