Animal farm by George Orwell
Animal farm plot overview
"Animal Farm"
by George Orwell is a political satire directed towards the communism that came
during the alliance with the Soviet Union. The communists came with fake promises
to provide help and bring in equality and justice but nothing came out of those
promises. In an attempt to mock those fake promises, George Orwell came up with
this novella in 1945 which was rejected by several publishers before finally
getting published.
The Animal Farm is the
story about the animals of 'The Manor Farm' who after being oppressed by humans
for years, sought out their way to a better life. But who knew what that life
would bring for them?
Animal farm Book Summary
Animals in the
"Manor Farm" were routinely living their life under the rule of their
owner, Mr. Jones. Until one day, one of the older pigs, The Major, called them
in the big barn for a meeting and sparked feelings of war and rebel in them
towards their owner and humans in general. He talked about breaking away from
their oppressed lives and teach the humans that animals can have a better life
without them. The Major died few days after this speech but he left a scruple of
rebelliousness and revolution among the animals of the Manor Farm.
The revolution
eventually came, and the animals won the war between animals and humans
changing the name of the Manor Farm to the "Animal Farm". With the
revolution, came about many changes in the animal farm and within the lives of
animals too. But, who knew that the fight to bring equality and justice among
all animals was subdued by a specific group of animals.
The beginning of the
animals living as all equals was just a dream that was gradually engulfed by
ingenious tricks of a particular group of animals. On one hand, there were 7 commandments
of the animal farm. And every animal was obliged to follow them. But amidst all
these animals there was a group who progressively modified these rules for
their benefits and interests.
Have you seen any
animals sleeping on beds, drinking alcohol, walking on two legs? But through
this book, George Orwell has depicted the notorious nature of power that once someone
starts enjoying the position of dominance there’s no way they would think of
leaving that place.
Animal Farm Book Review
Anyone would claim to
bring equality and justice in rule when they'll come to power. But once someone
is in charge of power and authority, they forget what they said.
Through this undoubtedly
wonderful book, George Orwell has personified a very powerful narrative through
the story of the animals. He has presented that a person should know to
differentiate when it is in their favor and when it becomes injustice and sheer
stupidity to believe in every word of their leaders. The people who don’t know
to fight for their rights. And are always dumbfounded by the forgery and hoax
appearance of their leaders are bound to remain trapped in the tyrannical
circle of injustice and inequality.
This was my first book
of George Orwell and what I can say is that from his writing style to story
narration, I loved every bit of it❤
Highly recommended💯
