Animal Farm: A Timeless Political Allegory Animal Farm is a renowned novel written by George Orwell, an influential figure in the literary world. It was first published in 1945 and has since become a classic piece of literature, captivating readers of all ages. This profound work is not only a captivating story but also an allegory that reflects and criticizes the socio-political events of its time. Set on a farm, the novel portrays a group of animals who overthrow their human farmer in a bid to create an egalitarian society. Led by the pigs, the animals establish a set of commandments known as "The Seven Commandments of Animalism." However, as time goes on, the pigs, particularly Napoleon and Snowball, begin to accumulate power, leading to a dictatorship that mirrors the tyranny of human beings. Through the characters and events in Animal Farm, Orwell ingeniously represents various political figures and ideologies. Napoleon, the power-hungry pig, represents Joseph Stalin, while Snowball symbolizes Leon Trotsky. The gradual corruption of the pigs and the manipulation of the other animals exemplify how power can corrupt even the most well-intentioned individuals, mirroring the dangers of totalitarian regimes. Animal Farm tackles significant themes such as power, corruption, propaganda, and the manipulation of language. Orwell's masterful storytelling brings these themes to life, providing readers with a deep insight into the flaws of human nature and political systems. It serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the importance of remaining vigilant to protect the principles of justice and equality.
