Animal Farm vs Soviet Russia
• ‘Animal Farm’ is written by George Orwell as another of his anti- colonialist novels.
• He shared a socialist view expressed through his characters where all goods are shared across the country and no one has more than others.
• E.g. You have two cows, your neighbor has none. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor.
• The animals on Manor Farm each mirror the roles of previous Russian leaders and the values which corrupted their cities.
• He masks the harsh reality of communism behind fictional farm animals and thus creates a interactive and intriguing learning experience for readers.
• Orwell’s primary thesis that ‘power not only corrupts but also breeds a desire for more power’ is highly emphasized in this work.
