TotalitarianismAnimal Farm
Totalitarianism has become a fact that can hardly be ignored. During World War II when Hitler had total control to the Russia of Stalin and later Soviet leaders. For many years people have dreamed or believed in the perfect society of mandkind and of an ultimate utopia, a world where we can live together in peace. George Orwell expresses a different kind of view for the future of mankind, a view where freedom is limited, total control and there isn't any sign of hope or peace. George Orwell expresses his totalitarianism and communist view of the world in his work Animal Farm. Power was emphasized in his work Animal Farm. Orwell set a political satire and an allegory. He used animals to represent the government. The pigs were the one with all the power. Orwell gave the pigs the brain and the rest of the animals practically slaves of the pigs. The more power the pigs had the more power the pigs wanted: This is demonstrated by the continuity between Mr. Jones, the original proprietor of the farm, and Napoleon, the young boar who contrive to drive out snowball, the only competing boar on the premises, and assumed Jones's former position as well as that of Major, The old patriarch.
The pigs then gradually show human characteristic. First by sleeping in bed, then by drinking. The pigs had the farm in their hands. Orwell did this to show how come of the animals were unequal to the pigs. The role or rank that the characters play determine the special privileges they have. Napoleon traded eggs, milk and other things with the humans just to provide for the pigs. He left the other animals with old dried out food. Napoleon contradicted himself, but later on he changed the commandments and made it look like it was good business to trade with the humans. Orwell showed how powerful Napoleon has become. Napoleon lied, stole, and made empty promises and gotten away with it. The Seven commandments was like a brain washing tool the pigs used to get the rest of the animals to follow. This "unalterable law" provides the major structural basis for the rest of the animal. From this point on the plot reveals a gradual alteration of these commandments, ending in the well-known contradiction that epitomizes the new nature of the farm at the end of the book. The commandments change throughout the story. The changes were only made to benefits the pigs and only the pigs. The other animals weren't surprise or didn't care much for the change just as long they had gotten their share of food.
