Examine the role of propaganda in "Animal Farm." How do the pigs manipulate language to control the other animals?
In what ways does the ending of "Animal Farm" serve as a commentary on the cycle of power and corruption?
The event that prompts the animals to revolt is the neglect and mismanagement of Mr Jones, particularly when he drunkenly fails to feed them.
Old Major, an elder boar, conveys the message of rebellion against human tyranny and sets forth the vision of Animalism, advocating for a society where animals can be free and equal.
The Seven Commandments initially outline the principles of Animalism, such as "All animals are equal," but they gradually change to justify the pigs' actions, ultimately becoming "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
Napoleon, a pig, rises to power through cunning and manipulation, using force and propaganda to eliminate his rival, Snowball, and consolidate control.
Snowball is more idealistic and focused on the communal welfare of the farm, whereas Napoleon is more authoritarian and self-serving, prioritising power over the original goals of the revolution.
The pigs begin as the leaders of the revolution but increasingly distance themselves from the other animals. This relationship devolves into exploitation as the pigs become indistinguishable from humans.
The windmill symbolizes the animals' hard work and hope for a better future, but it also represents how their efforts are exploited by the ruling pigs.
Boxer embodies the themes of loyalty and betrayal through his unwavering commitment to the farm's ideals, ultimately leading to his downfall when he is sold for profit despite his loyalty.
Propaganda plays a crucial role; the pigs use language manipulation, particularly through Squealer, to distort reality, justify their actions, and maintain control over the other animals.
The ending highlights the cyclical nature of power and corruption, as the pigs, who initially sought equality, become indistinguishable from the oppressive humans they once overthrew, revealing the failure of their revolution.
