“For that day we all must labour, though we die before it break.” (p.13) In the Animal farm, the animals are being over-worked and underfed in the care of a drunken farmer named Mr. Jones. The animals decide to rally together and rebel against Mr. Jones, becoming an animal-run farm. Soon After, the pigs take charge and also take up human characteristics, causing them to slowly gain more power. As they gain power, they torture the animals and make up rules as they go. The pigs had come up with the statement “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” in order to keep the animals calm and quiet to benefit themselves. Animal Farm shows that everyone wants power and certain people will strive to obtain it. This is done through the Animals aiming for a communist society. This revolution fails and the animals land themselves in a dictatorship of pigs, which were the brightest of the animals. The seeking of power to do good only to find that once a person receives power, they take advantage of it is a message that is used even today and is reasonable in many situations showing how the world had to overcome and create new political problems for the past, present, and future.

When too much power is given, a dictatorship government can form, in which all decisions are made by one authority. The pigs take advantage of power by telling the other animals that everything is equal. In actuality, all of the animals are working much harder than the pigs. “Surely, comrades, you don’t want Jones to come back.” (p. 46) Napoleon uses this phrase to get the animals to do what he wants. While he is breaking and changing the rules, all of the others try to work harder. Boxer, of course, works the hardest and got the same amount of pay as all of the other animals. The pigs, of course, received more food and less

    To begin with, the first sighting of the lack of education the animals posses is when Napoleon starts to control them. The animals were so absent minded to realize that Napoleon was building a pyramid, and placing everyone below him. For example, in the novel, it states “Napoleon denounced such ideas as contrary to the spirit of Animalism. The true happiness he said , lay in hard work and living frugally,” (Chapter 10, Pg 107). With this action taking place, it shows that Napoleon took advantage of the dictatorship and used it to his own well being instead of properly leading them.…

At the end of the book the pigs craft the ultimate rule “ All animals are equal but some animals are MORE equal”…

    Animal Farm is an allegory as it has parallels to the Soviet Union and the possibility of totalitarianism. The phrase in the book "All animals are equal but some are more equal than others" is a good satire on the facade of equality that communism in Russia at the time had. The pigs were the communist idealist, some of them being representatative of ones present in Soviet Russia, and they had a plan to overthrow the farmer, Mr. Jones, who is like the old tzars of Russia. The farm goes from a monarchy, to communist government, to a totalitarian government, resulting in Napoleon, the head pig, having complete control over everything in the farm. In the end, the communist idealist pigs turn into just what they had overthrown, and the rest of the animals could no longer tell them apart from the humans.…
