A Bunch Of Animals

George Orwell's novel, Animal Farm is a political satire addressing the Russian revolution by creating animals which represent those people or people groups involved in it. The novel is meant to be one of heavy meaning through seemingly lighthearted humor. It begins with dictatorship of humans and then after the rebellion the animal farm returns to this state only under different leadership, the pigs. The pigs are the main charters as they represent Stalin and Trotsky, and are the main instigators. "Animal Farm" inspires us to question the systems of government within it, by disgusting us with its consequences. The goal of those animals on the farm is one of Utopia, but because animals are corrupt (as humans are) this is not possible. As I study this novel I will ask the big question of: "What is the mindset of the dictators in the beginning and how does that change thought the novel ,how does the power hunger change them?" I wonder about the pigs themselves and how they see everything. What is it that they really want? I believe this will be an interesting angle to take on this novel.
