  • Essay / Animal Farm - 689

    Animal Farm by George Orwell was published on August 17, 1945 in England, where the setting of the book was also derived. It is a fictional novel based largely on the Russian Revolution and the dictator Joseph Stalin, as many of Orwell's works were. He uses animals to represent the people of the revolution because he didn't want the idea of ​​the novel to be completely obvious. The story takes place on a 19th-century farmhouse in England that only appears to be surrounded by other farms. The farm's owner, Mr. Jones, is a drunken man who was once considered a good guardian of his animals, but has fallen on hard times. It is adjacent to a farm on both sides, one belonging to Mr. Pilkington and the other to Mr. Fredrick. The pigs on the farm are considered the most educated animals, consisting of: Napoleon, Snowball, Old Major and Squealer. Boxer, Clover and Mollie are the horses with Benjamin the donkey and Moses the crow. These are various farm animals that are never named, but only called by their animal type. The novel opens with Mr. Jones not closing the barn properly because he is so drunk.

This is the idea he has of humans who control and mistreat them. In his dream he describes a world without humans and animals doing all the work for themselves. He also teaches them a song his mother taught him "Beasts of England". Old Major dies a few days later and the animals waste no time planning a revolution due to Mr. Jones' recent worst treatment. The pigs are middle of paper...... Fredrick and get scammed, as the farmers arrive at the farm and destroy the windmill. While they fight the humans, Boxer is seriously injured, but being a hard worker, he forces himself to rebuild the windmill where he falls due to his injury. Boxer disappears and Napoleon sends a message via Squealer that he died peacefully even though he sold him to the knacker for money. Napoleon still sends Squealer to justify these words and the animals begin to become less and less convinced. The pigs eventually become like humans when they look out the window of the house one night as Napoleon and all the pigs are sitting around a table talking with the neighboring farmers about becoming friends with each other. others. The animals sit outside and realize through all this change that they can't tell the difference between pigs and humans..
