In Animal Farm, a boar named Old Major expresses his desire for no animals to live under human beings. He passes away and three pigs named Snowball, Squealer, and Napoleon decide to carry on his legacy by enforcing the ideas of “animalism.” At first, the farm performs well, but as time passes, the animals find themselves becoming closer to human beings and the difference between the pigs and humans is negligible. Author Marie Macnee calls the novel a deceptively simple animal fable about a barnyard revolt that satirizes the consequences of the Russian Revolution while suggesting why most revolutionary ideals fail (2017). The book was seen as a metaphor or symbol to what was occuring in the Soviet Union at the time.

Furthermore, Napoleon gives the other animals the impression he was the sole leader of the rebellion on Animal farm and makes Snowball -a leader who wanted what was best for the animals- seem like an enemy who was in cahoots with Farmer Jones since long before the animals took over the farm. Napoleon and Squealer (another “fat cat” pig.) always put the blame on Snowball whenever something went wrong in the farm to avoid having the blame fall on them. Napoleon is an exemplary example of just how selfish and hypocritical people can be in furthering their own aims because he continued to subtly but purposely change the seven rules put in place as the pillars of animalism. For example, Napoleon and the other pigs move into Farmer Jones’s house and sleep in his bed after commanding “No animal shall sleep in a bed”, so he changes the commandment to read “no animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets”.

He was the oldest animal. After a strange dream that he had, he gave them a speech about rebellion and he enlightened them that they could live better than the way they are treated in the farm.

Beyond these fallacies his ideology was to feed on the other animals to establish a totalitarian system in which equality would never exist.
