A Review of “Animal Farm” by George Orwell
“Animal Farm” published in 1945 and written by George Orwell is definitely not about animals, but yet it is. The animals stage a revolution and the story follows along that path as two pigs, Snowball and Napoleon fight over the power of who shall run things. And even though, certain animals are definitely more privileged than others, none of the animals ever give up hope that their society will prevail and be the best animal society ever.
In the beginning of the book commandment number seven is that all animals are created equal, but before long the commandment is interpreted that “all animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” Along the way there are always good excuses as to why things change, and blame is always placed on some unexpecting animal. There is no moral really in the book. The bad animals are never punished, and the good animals are never rewarded. It just simply is. This book needs to be read for what it is. It is a farce about the rulers of certain countries at the time of its writing and the way the people were treated and just ignorantly followed whatever propaganda they were fed.
As the years pass, no animals are left who even remember the original rebellion. All the animals only know the way things are now, and just accept what they are told about…
