Animal Farm compared to the Ru
Animal Farm compared to the Russian RevolutionAll of the characters in Animal farm have counterparts in real life. This book was based on the Russian Revolution, and all the important populace of the revolution are symbolized. Some of the animals represent individuals in the Russian Revolution, and some types of animals represent different types of Russian citizens. The book carries out much like the actual revolution. It starts out with hopes of an empire where all are equal and the unfair unjust leader is thrown out. Then it moves on to where some individuals begin to take more power than is rightfully theirs. At the end the rulers have completely taken over and the kingdom is as it was under the original rulers. I will compare the animals from top of the social class to the bottom. At the top were the pigs. Each pig represented someone different in the revolution. Old Major is compared to Lenin. He was an ideologist who dreamed up a wonderful government where all the animals were equal and the humans, or the czars, were pushed out.
The types of citizens range from hard working to selfish and lazy. If you tried, this story could also be compared to other times in history when the people let dictatorships form in their own country. In the Russian Revolution his counterpart would be Trotsky. I enjoyed this book a lot but I do not think that it should be just compared to the Russian Revolution. His job was to influence the people by exaggerating and re-writing history and sometimes telling plain lies all together. I think that this story was a good representation of the actual Russian Revolution. The people must stand up to those who would destroy the system or else all is lost. Then we are left with his predecessors. At first Napoleon and Snowball shared the decision making and had debates about what course of action they would take. They should have stood up to Napoleon for what they fought for in the first place. Then Napoleon grew weary of long debates, and he thought he could make the decision by himself.
