Scene Summary and Context Guide

Scene Summary: In George Orwell's Animal Farm, a group of farm animals rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where all animals are equal. The story symbolizes the Russian Revolution and the subsequent rise of communism. Key characters like Napoleon and Snowball represent political leaders, while the farm itself symbolizes a totalitarian state. The narrative highlights how power can corrupt ideals, as the pigs gradually become indistinguishable from humans, betraying the original principles of the rebellion. Context Guide: Animal Farm employs allegory extensively, using farm animals and events as symbols for real historical figures and political movements. For example, the pigs’ increasing dominance mirrors the rise of a dictatorial regime, and the phrase 'Four legs good, two legs bad' exemplifies propaganda techniques. Analyzing these symbols reveals how Orwell critiques totalitarianism and warns against the corruption of revolutionary ideals. Focus on identifying phrases or short descriptions that serve as allegorical references, such as 'the windmill represents industrialization' or 'the pigs’ leadership mirrors Stalin’s governance.'
