About This Novel
Before his death, "Old Major", a pig in Manna Manor, called on the animals in the manor to resist human exploitation and establish a republic where animals are the masters of their own affairs. After Old Major's death, the two pigs in the manor inherited his ideas, summarized them as "Animalism", and used this as a revolutionary program to lead an uprising, driving humans out of the manor, realizing the wish of "animals being the masters", and renamed the manor "Animal Farm", and at the same time formulated the "Seven Commandments" of a constitutional nature. But not long after the uprising was successful, the pigs, as the leading group, had an internal political struggle. One of the revolutionary leaders, "Snowball", was declared a traitor to the revolution and expelled, while another revolutionary leader, "Napoleon", gained absolute leadership of the estate. Since then, the pig leadership group has gained more and more privileges, and eventually became even more exploiters than humans...

There has never been a savior
There has never been a savior, nor a divine emperor; Facing reality, finally ideal; I am 24 years old this year, and I realize all this. I think it is neither too early nor too late.
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. God prophesies because that is the nature of human nature and social development.
Absolutely good book
I have read the book before. I saw this book today and came in to comment. First of all, the writing of this book is very good. The plot and significance of the times are very advanced. The details are well described. Moreover, foreigners are very brave. Only Mr. Lu Xun's generation dared to write such spicy words.
When I saw that this article was written in 1944, my heart beat faster for a while.
human corruption
Through a series of stories that happened in Animal Farm, we exposed the greed and selfishness of human nature and the corruption of society. To clearly describe animals is actually to use animals as metaphors for humans. From equality to inequality, animals have no ability to resist. It illustrates the darkness of society at that time.
It's a pity that not many people have read this book.
In the end, pigs and humans got into a fight. What a huge irony. A group became completely devoid of wisdom and courage. This is also the price humans pay when they explore new social systems!
This book belongs to dystopian literature, revealing the greed, desire for money and power in human nature. And this is why Utopia can only be a fantasy.
The animals in Animal Farm actually have their own thoughts. Before his death, "Old Major", a pig in Manna Manor, called on the other animals in the manor to resist human exploitation and establish a republic where animals are the masters of their own affairs. His own thoughts are not bad, so powerful.
Novels full of gray deny utopia but cannot solve oppression. Those who resist become lower-level animals, while those who do not resist are still lower-level humans.
