Animal Farm: Orwell's True IntentionA wise boar, Old Major, expresses the dream of a world where animals live without human oppression towards the rest animals from Manor Farm. However, just three days after his speech, he dies, leaving three young pigs to take his place and lead the other animals towards Major's dream. They create the Seven Commandments of Animalism, which sets values ​​against human behavior, and paint them on the barn wall. One night, the animals manage to rebel against Mr. Jones, the owner of the farm. Initially, agriculture was doing well after the rebellion. However, one of the power-hungry pigs, Napoleon, begins to rule a totalitarian dictatorship with an eloquent pig, Squealer, at his side. He also trains puppies, which he takes from their parents, into vicious guard dogs and uses them to enforce his plans. One by one, the Seven Commandments are broken and modified by Napoleon, who gradually behaves more and more humanely. Ultimately, only one rule remains written on the barn wall: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” (Orwell 133). Napoleon and the other pigs end up walking upright, wearing clothes, indulging in alcohol, and even sleeping on beds (which was originally forbidden in the Seven Commandments), while the other animals work all day. day with little food. By the end of the book, the other animals on the farm can no longer tell the difference between pigs and humans when other human farmers are invited over for dinner. “The outer creatures looked from the pig to the man, and from the man to the pig, and from the pig to the man again; but already it was impossible to tell which was which” (Orwell 139).
