Propaganda In Animal Farm

George Orwell had written his novel “Animal Farm” in order to warn his readers for numerous reasons. In many parts of the novel, George Orwell clearly portrayed how ignorance was a very big part as to why the animals were so easily controlled. This in theory, lead to the conflicted problems the animals had about equality. In particularly, equality was the key idea of the relation between the Russian Revolution and Animal Farm. Accordingly, George Orwell had expressed thoroughly how power can almost certainly be corruptive. Most importantly, it showed the definite danger of a naïve working class.
One of main ideas one can learn from George Orwell is that the readers can be taught that they should be self-aware and not be ignorant as it presumably
At the beginning of the novel when Old Major (based on both Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin) had given his remarkable speech that had influenced the other animals to start “animalism,” he had had created many of the Seven Commandments. George Orwell had used this chance to show the role of propaganda and how it could easily manipulate people. Coincidently, Squealer had the position of propaganda and thus George Orwell represents this through Squealer’s manipulation of the seven commandments. Two of which were very significant throughout the novel. The phrase, “Four legs good, two legs bad” (Chapter III) explained the clear line between humans and animals despite the fact that not all animals use four legs. George Orwell had used this commandment to demonstrate how the upper-class abuses language to control the lower-class. It was observed that this certain instruction was in fact effective at first but soon developed into nothing more than a simple opinion as by the end of the novel, the phrase had changed to “Four legs good, two legs better” (Chapter X). Namely, this phrase displayed the overall bias prospective of the animals. Similarly, another commandment “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” (Chapter X), demonstrated the obvious unfairness of the pigs and the other animals. This was the consequence of the animal’s ignorance as they did not take in the thought that the original commandment, “All animals are equal” (Chapter 7) was altered. Conversely, it also points to the specific form of corruption on Animal Farm. All in all, considering Animal farm as an allegory, the novel demonstrated that this form of inequality was also evident during the Russian Revolution as a consequence of having Joseph Stalin (Napoleon) and Leon Trotsky (Snowball) as the
