Does one believe that education or lack thereof, has the power to change how people, or in this case pigs, handle politics? In the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell, due to mistreatment and inequality, the animals rebel and manage to gain control of the farm renaming it from Manor Farm to Animal Farm. The pigs are ultimately placed in charge due to their impressive scheming skills, which the rest of the animals do not realize since their education is inadequate. For about a decade, battles, murders, lies and the exploitation of the farm’s inhabitants prospers under the pigs rule. To continue, the pigs begin to resemble their human adversaries in front of the animals very eyes, leaving them baffled for everything that they thought they stand

For the entirety of the novel, Squealer is known for his persuading speeches and wily personality to make the animals believe what he and the other pigs want them to with ease due to their inability to read or process information well. To expand upon, an implicit quote from Squealer explaining Snowball’s false alliance with Animal Farm recites, “Jones's shot only grazed him. I could show you this in his own writing, if you were able to read it. The plot was for Snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy” (Orwell 43). An examination of this quote clearly proves to the reader that the pigs know of the animals idiocy, and intend to use it against them for their own rankings.

They do this due to the propaganda from the pigs, and cannot defend themselves against it because they do not know better. A quote from the novel states, “And so the tale of confessions and executions went on, until there was a pile of corpses lying before Napoleon's feet and the air was heavy with the smell of blood, which had been unknown there since the expulsion of Jones” (Orwell 56).

To elaborate, the animals are “brainwashed” into thinking that they commit these crimes, while in reality the pigs are just killing off all the animals with any sense of doubt in their leadership. If the animals all acquire the same foundation of education, many animals will live instead of die because they will see through the pigs atrocities. In conclusion, if the animals had an education the fates of some animals lives will be
