All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” – George Orwell, this quote was written in the novel showing the abuse of pigs towards the “Seven Commandments”, stating that some animals are “more equal” than others clearly leads to inequality among all animals, since there is no such thing as “all animals” are equal but some are “more equal”, the pigs are clearly trying to trick other animals into thinking they can chase anything animals dream of freedom. Animal Farm is a novel composed of various literary terms such as allegory, represented by the symbols and hidden content behind the actions and personalities of the animals. The story is written by George Orwell, who decided to depict inequality during the time of the Russian Revolution. Orwell's goal in writing Animal Farm was to portray the Russian Revolution of 1917. He personifies animals to symbolize real historical figures; Manor Farm portrays Russia, and Old Major, Napoleon and Snowball represent the main characters of the Russian Revolution. This essay will discuss the similarities between Animal Farm and the Russian Revolution. The manor farm represents Russia with its poor conditions and its negligent leaders. The Russian Revolution was created to solve the problems that existed under the Tsar's rule, but in the end life got worse. Orwell used allegory to symbolize animals as real historical figures. Mr. Jones plays Tsar Nicholas II, Mr. Jones was always drunk, he was careless about his animals; he forgot to feed them and tortured them brutally without knowing the consequences of it all. While the Tsar wasn't always drunk, he was an unpopular leader who had no contact with his people and wasn't interested in ru... middle of paper... emotions. He taught animalism; where there are neither rich nor poor, workers will live a better and safer life, all animals will be equal, and animals will own the farm without humans. However, Old Major also dies before the revolution takes place. Old Major's idea of ​​rebellion was very successful, just as Lenin's idea of ​​revolution was widespread throughout Russia. Both Old Major and Karl Marx's ideas were not followed correctly by Snowball and Napoleon (Stalin and Trotsky). In conclusion, through the actions of the Russian Revolution George Orwell decided to write an allegorical novel, symbolizing animals as real historical figures. George was trying to show us readers the inequality and cruelty that occurred during that time. He wanted to teach us more about the corruption of communism; collected the most important facts of Russian history.
