The Seven Commandments In George Orwell's Animal Farm

Decent Essays
Throughout each attempt and success of essentially ignoring the seven commandments, the pigs had little to no trouble getting the animals of Animal Farm to go with the flow. The animals always had doubts, but since none of them could read the commandments on the law (except a few, who always read them the wrong way), the animals thought that standing on two legs was ok (only for the pigs), that every animal way equal, except for the higher-standing pigs, that it was ok for the pigs to wear clothes and drink alcohol, and even that it was (eventually) ok for animals to be killed (only by the pigs, of course), even though none of it abided with the original seven

    The animals noticed how the Seven Commandments would have minor changes that made a big difference. “No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets” was a change made to an original commandment. Whilst the first commandment was “No animal shall sleep in a bed” once the pigs started doing it, nobody questioned them. The animals silenced themselves, event on events when they knew something was wrong. On the other hand, Christopher did not conform.…

    Animal Farm is an allegory since it has two levels in the story. The animals represent the people of Russia and Mr. Jones is the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II. The story tells of the overthrowing of the Russian government and the beginning of communism. Mr. Jones, as did Nicholas II, didn’t hear the cries of hunger and the needs of the people. Major, the pig, is Karl Marx, the father of communism.…

    Orwell illustrates that Mr. Jones's corruption and haughtiness results in the animals' anger and hostility. This irritation is built upon Jones's evil and opportunist character who sells his animals and their products -as Major has said- "to bring in money for [him] and his men" (Orwell 8). Furthermore, Jones is neglecting his farm and "[has] taken to drinking more than was good for him" (Orwell 18), and the worst thing is that he has kept his animals without food which fuels their anger and leads to the beginning of a new age and the end of Jones's ruling. So the animals have been very furious that everything has been uncontrollable.…

    Jones is a strict master, he forgets to feed the animals one day. They broke into the store-shed, and Mr. Jones and his men come out and start whipping the animals. All the animals soon retaliate. The humans see they are no match for them and retreat the farm. The next morning after their victory, the pigs write seven commandments for the farm: whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy, whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend, no animal shall wear clothes, no animal shall sleep in a bed, no animal shall drink alcohol, no animal shall kill any other animal, and all animals are equal.…

    Have you ever wondered what would happen if the animals of a farm took over the farm and run it by themselves. Well in the book animal farm, that is exactly what happens. After the animals kick out the farmer and his employees, they create seven commandments to live by. Unfortunately, the proclaimed leader of the farm, a pig named Napoleon, and the other pigs and the dogs abuse their power and break the seven commandments. If the farm had set up a system of checks and balances to limit the pigs power like in the US constitution, they could have stopped Napoleon from using his power to kill other animals, drinking alcohol, and from changing the commandments.…

    One of the ways they did this was with saying things like "Jones will come back". None of the animals on the farm ever liked Mr. Jones, so when they were convincing the animals that something was right and this way is the best way, they would use "surely, you don't want Jones to come back". The animal government also switched the Seven Commandments around, and then used propaganda to convince the animals that it was fine, with an element of fear. Since the pigs were the head of the farm and they made all the decisions, they "deserved" to have the extra milk and apples and sleep in beds. Without all those things, they would not be able to make the best decisions for the farm and the other animals, and the farm would fall apart.…

    In the story Animal Farm the animals have their rights kind of taken away, but the way its done is under their noses. The pigs write a new law that says "all animals are free some are just more free". After Old Major dies the new generation of pigs Napoleon and Snowball fight for Old Majors place. The animals didn't really say anything about their rights being taken away because of ignorance. In the poem the man is sitting idly by while these peoples rights are taken away because his rights are not being taken at first.…

    Corruption is shown when the original seventh commandment “All animals are equal”(19) becomes the one and only commandment “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”.(96) This change is made so the pigs are able to live in luxury and rule over the other animals with no questions asked. One this change is made is shown that though the animals believe they are working for themselves and that life is much better than the days of Jones, “the lower animals on Animal Farm did more work and received less food than any animals in the country”(98). The part of the statement which reads “Lower animals” proves how corruption eventually interrupted the equality on the farm. Not only that…

    The first passage is at page 84-85. It is when Benjamin and Clover go to the barn to read the seven commandments, but when they got to the barn it had no longer had the seven commandments because the pigs have been changing it, but know one has noticed because most of them could not even read. But now it reads “All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others page 85”. I think that when the animals started to read it, that was the moment that they finally started to realize that the pigs might not be the good animals they thought they were. I also think this shows how much the pigs really manipulated the other animals.…

    Benjamin can also read, but he is too bitter to care most of the time, which leaves the other animals at an unfair disadvantage. Not only were the animals illiterate, they also did not have good memories, which results in the pigs changing the commandments without them noticing. When they do think something is off, they put it aside because they think they are wrong. An example of this is shown in the text when it reads, “But a few days later Muriel, reading over the Seven Commandments to herself, noticed that there was yet another of them which the animals had remembered wrong” (Orwell 109). She, along with the other animals, assumes that they remember it wrong, when in reality, they do not notice the change because the majority cannot read.…

    The original seven Commandments were: 1.“Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy” 2.“Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.” 3.“No animal shall wear clothes” 4.“No animal shall sleep in a bed” 5.“No animal shall drink alcohol” 6.”No animal shall kill any other animal” 7.“All animals are equal” (Orwell, 25). The Commandments went through several additions to accommodate the pigs’ behavior, and they eventually became one Commandment “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” (Orwell, 134). After Old Major died, two pigs, Napoleon and Snowball (who represents Leo Trotsky) took over leadership of the farm. Napoleon was the stronger of the two, and over time he became the sole leader.…

    The pigs, especially Napoleon and Squealer, are aware that the other animals know that only the pigs are well-educated. The pigs use this to their advantage by going against the original commandments and slightly manipulating them. Eventually, the other animals go with what the pigs say, seeing that there are consequences if you dare question the authority of the pigs. The other animals begin to fear of what might happen if they were to speak out against the pigs. Hence, the animals rather admit they saw/heard…
