             Theme. What is it? A theme is a central idea of a story that
             usually reveals something about human nature. A theme is usually
             unstated as are the themes in George Orwell's Animal Farm. One
             theme that can be taken away from the story is weakness can be
             easily dominated through language and ignorance. This will be
             seen through the manipulative language of Squealer and the
             One way in which this can be seen is through Squealer. In
             one situation all of the apples and milk will be given to the pigs a
