Animal
Farm
By George Orwell
Background and
Important Terms
Animal Farm’s Author
Author: George Orwell
Orwell was a political
writer who wrote
about the social ills of
the strict class
structure of England.
He was a socialist,
believing in total
equality for all
citizens.
He saw first hand the
corruption of communism
in Spain when those in
power began to take
advantage of the citizens.
His hatred of totalitarianism
and the abuse he witnessed
in the name of communism
prompted him to write the
Animal Farm.
Orwell and Communism
Fable and Allegory
Fable- A usually short narrative making an
edifying or cautionary point and often
employing as characters animals that
speak and act like humans.
Allegory-The representation of abstract
ideas or principles by characters,
figures, or events in narrative, dramatic,
or pictorial form.
The blindfolded figure with scales is an
allegory of justice.
Allegory in Novel

Old Major= Karl Marx
Boxer= Unskilled labor class
Squealer=Russian Newspaper
Mollie= skilled middle class
Moses=Church/Religion
Snowball= Trotsky
Napoleon=Stalin
Dogs=KGB Police
Pilkington=Churchill
Frederick=Hitler
Manor Farm= Soviet Union
Windmill= Industrialization
Satire-A literary
work in which
human vice or
folly is attacked
through irony,
sarcasm,
derision, or wit.
Satire
Propaganda
Propaganda-the systematic attempt to spread ideas or
beliefs. The information given in propaganda may or
may not be accurate.
■ Facts that support the ideas being promoted will
be given accurately. Facts that contradict the
ideas being promoted will be withheld or distorted.
Stereotypes in Animal Farm
Pigs have a bad name for
selfishness and
gluttony.
Horses are slow-witted,
strong, gentle, and
loyal.
Sheep are brainless and
behave as a flock,
without individual
initiative.
Major Conflicts
Animals vs. Mr. Jones
Snowball vs. Napoleon
Common animals vs. pigs
Animal Farm vs.
neighboring humans
■ All are expressions of the
underlying tension
between the exploited and
exploiting classes and
between the lofty ideals
and harsh realities of
socialism
The Setting
Manor Farm
■ First is a capitalistic dictatorship by
Mr. Jones.
■ After the animals revolt it is
renamed Animal Farm.
The novel takes place on an
imaginary farm in England.
■ Animal Farm is set in an
unspecified time period
■ Readers can assume that Orwell
means the fable to be
contemporaneous with the object
of its satire, the Russian
Revolution, 1917-1945.
Major Themes in Animal Farm
Themes are the fundamental and often
universal ideas explored in a literary
work.
The corruption of socialist ideals in the
Soviet Union
The societal tendency toward class
stratification
The danger of a naïve working class
The abuse of language as instrumental

Absolute power absolutely corrupts
