Why listen to Animal Farm

The animals of Manor Farm rise up after enduring unremitting oppression under human control. The animals form a plan to drive away the humans and establish a place to live freely and happily. Once liberated, they renamed farm, christening it “Animal Farm.” However, a pig named Napoleon appropriates the spoils of their revolution, and this egalitarian animal society gradually slides towards dictatorship. Under Napoleon’s watch, the animals’ lives are more miserable than ever; they have as little to eat as they did when humans were still in charge. Animal Farm is George Orwell's most famous political satire. The animals act out the conditions of a society under totalitarianism.

Author : George Orwell

George Orwell was born in 1903. He was a British humanitarian writer, journalist, social critic, famous in England as a literary stylist. He produced numerous works during his short life, mainly focusing on the twin themes of poverty and politics. Two of his novels, Animal Farm and 1984, have had an incalculable influence, so much so that modern English uses the term “Orwellian” to refer to aspects of the social phenomena he imagined.

Key Insights fromAnimal Farm

  • 1. Power and Corruption: "Animal Farm" illustrates how power can corrupt even the most well-intentioned leaders. The pigs' gradual transformation from comrades to tyrants demonstrates the dangers of unchecked authority and the betrayal of revolutionary ideals.
  • 2. Propaganda and Manipulation: The use of language and propaganda, epitomized by Squealer's persuasive speeches, highlights how those in power can manipulate truth to maintain control. This theme underscores the importance of critical thinking and skepticism towards official narratives.
  • 3. Class Struggle and Inequality: The story reflects the persistent struggles between different classes, as the pigs gradually elevate themselves above the other animals. It serves as a commentary on social inequality, showing how revolutions can lead to new forms of oppression rather than genuine freedom.
