Animal Farm, by George Orwell :: Animal Farm Essays

Animal FarmTheme. What is it? A bailiwick is a central idea of a story thatusually reveals something about human nature. A theme is usuallyunstated as are the themes in George Orwells Animal Farm. Onetheme that can be taken away from the story is weakness can beeasily dominated by dint of language and ignorance. This will beseen done the manipulative language of wild boar and thegullibility of the animals. One way in which this can be seen is through Squealer. Inone situation all of the apples and draw will be given to the pigs afew animals disagree with this. Comrades he cried. You do notimagine I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a step of selfishnessand privilege? Many of us actually dislike draw and apples. I dislikethem myself. Our sole object is to preserve our health. Milk andapples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) harborsubstances absolutely necessary to the well being of a pig. Wepigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organization ofthis farm d epends on us. Day and night we are reflection over yourwelfare. It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat thoseapples. Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in ourduty? Jones would come back Yes, Jones would come back Surely, comrades, cried Squealer almost pleadingly, skipping formside to side and whisking his tail, surely there is no one amongyou who wants to see Jones come back? The animals all are in promise that they do not want Jones back, therefore believingthat the pigs health was the upmost concern (Orwell 820).Here one can see that the animals are easily deceived through afew big words and a lot of fast talking that can be easily confused ifone does not profits attention closely. When the animals agree withthe fact that they do not want Jones back they assume that theymust also be saying that the pigs need the apples and milk to patronkeep them in health. Although this is not what they are saying, they are saying that they do not want Jones back, and they believethat the way to keep him away is to give the pigs the apples andmilk because they stand vehemently over against Jones. Sonow the animals believe that the pigs are entitled to specialprivileges in order to keep Jones from coming back. Time and timeagain the animals are deceived because by agreeing with onething they believe that they are agreeing with everything.
