motto, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." I further concluded that Squealer symbolizes the Russian media as he spreads Napoleon’s version of the truth to the masses. Snowball, Napoleon’s enemy, represents Leon Trotsky, one of Stalin’s enemies. In the novel, Snowball is denounced as a traitor, named a conspirator, and is exiled from the Farm. Lastly, it can be conjectured that Old Major, the “father of ‘animalism’”, represents Vladimir Lenin, the original…
The major themes that the book, Animal Farm, by George Orwell mainly portrayed was Power and Totalitarianism. 1. “Why then do we continue in this miserable condition?

They are the leaders and controllers of the ranch, and the humans, like Mr. Jones, transform the farm into a…

who was overthrown during Bolshevik revolution. Old Major can be compared with Lenin, the force behind the initial Russian revolution. Napoleon, the protagonist/villain can be seen as Stalin, who to amass the power of the Soviet, sent Leon Trotsky (Snowball) to exile.

Orwell’s Animal Farm has some scenes containing violence. These violent scenes not only progress the plot but also have a hidden message. Battles, killings, and misfortune are all a hidden message, pertaining to historical allusions, allusions specifically relating to the events in Russia in the early 20th century. The Battle of Cowshed, a violent scene in which a sheep is killed, a pig is grazed by a gun, and a horse fights against a defenseless human, all serve for one purpose, to give…
Animal farm does this through everyone having a role and the Truman show does this through helping each other and going beyond. An example of everyone having a role in Animal farm is when Napoleon and Snowball are both leaders of the animals until Napoleon gets rid of Snowball because Snowball is affecting the chances of Napoleon making his ideal good society.

Santayana's quote basically says that if the people (the animals in this case) fail to learn from their experiences, cannot reminisce the past, or cannot point out their faults of that past event, then their mistakes are bound to recur again,…
