Animal Farm by George OrwellIs Animal Farm by George Orwell simply a political argument or does it manage to entertain the reader as a story in itself? In this personal study, I will write about how George Orwell's Animal Farm entertained me as a novel while introducing a political argument in the process. The opening chapter introduces the theme of revolution that dominates the entire novel, and in addition to this, it also introduces the farm animals. In chapter 1, Old Major is the central character, he brings all the other animals into the barn one night and talks about a revolution, which causes the smartest animals - the pigs, to think about what could happen. One way Orwell makes this story enjoyable in It is true that in describing farm animals, he is actually describing them in the manner of humans, juxtaposing the "animality" of farm animals with traditionally human characteristics . The example is then Orwell describes Clover, the mare "who never regained her figure after her fourth foal". This makes the novel more of a story than a simple political argument. In chapter 2, Old Major, who symbolizes the idealistic, intellectual or abstract vision of a future "Animal Farm", dies. His death highlights the main characters of the novel, who take advantage of the fever of the revolution on the farms to propel themselves to power. These characters are Napoleon who is an aggressive and clever pig, Snowball who is the brilliant and idealistic pig and Squealer who is the persuasive speaker and therefore he is the liaison between the leader and the common animal. These three animals make up the story... middle of paper ... and what the reader knows creates a sense of bitter irony. In the final chapter, the whole story culminates with the animals looking into the farm and finding the pigs playing cards and drinking alcohol with humans. This is the scene where the animals finally see the parallels between pigs and humans, which is both frightening and poignant. Honestly, animals are not as intelligent as pigs, so it was with sincere and gullible faith that they resisted the destruction of their revolutionary artistic ideals and the advent of the totalitarian regime. This is what makes this novel so entertaining and provides an apolitical argument. How the pigs took advantage of other, less intelligent animals and became comfortable and ruled the farm under an iron fist of fear and propaganda..
