english animal farm unity and hope

intro idea :

Animal Farm is a complex allegory that explores themes of revolution, power, and corruption. While the novel ultimately portrays the failure of the animals' utopian aspirations, it also highlights moments of unity and the enduring presence of hope, even in the face of adversity.

The foundation of the animals' rebellion is built upon a shared vision of unity against their human oppressor, Mr. Jones. Old Major's speech in Chapter 1 instills this sense of solidarity, emphasizing the common enemy and the potential for a better future.[5]

• All men are enemies. All animals are comrades."[5]

• "Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever."[5]

• "What then must we do? Why, work night and day, body and soul, for the overthrow of the human race! That is my message to you, comrades: Rebellion!"[5]

The song "Beasts of England" serves as a powerful anthem, embodying the animals' hopes for freedom, prosperity, and equality.[1] It unites them in a shared dream of a world without human tyranny.

• "Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland, Beasts of every land and clime, Hearken to my joyful tidings Of the golden future time."[1] (

• "Soon or late the day is coming, Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown..."[1]

• "For that day we all must labour, Though we die before it break..."[1]

Following the expulsion of Mr. Jones, the animals experience a period of genuine unity and success. They work together, sharing the fruits of their labor and creating a sense of community.[6]

• "All through that summer the work of the farm went like clockwork."[6]

• "Every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure, now that it was truly their own food, produced by themselves and for themselves, not doled out to them by a grudging master."[6]

• "Nobody stole, nobody grumbled over his rations, the quarreling and biting and jealousy which had been normal features of life in the old days had almost disappeared."[6]

This period of prosperity, however brief, reinforces the animals' belief in their ability to create a better world.

Boxer, the loyal cart-horse, embodies the virtues of hard work and unwavering dedication to the collective cause. His commitment inspires the other animals, even as the pigs begin to exploit their power.[7]

• "I will work harder!"[7]

• "Boxer was the admiration of everybody...From morning to night he was pushing and pulling, always at the spot where the work was hardest."[7]

• "His answer to every problem, every setback, was 'I will work harder!'"[7]

• "Remember, comrades, there must be no alteration in our plans: they shall be carried out to the day. Forward, comrades! Long live the windmill! Long live Animal Farm!"[8]

• "What matter? We will build another windmill. We will build six windmills if we feel like it."[8]

• "All that year the animals worked like slaves. But they were happy in their work; they grudged no effort or sacrifice,

Clover's silent suffering and her unwavering commitment to the farm, despite the betrayal of its ideals, represent the enduring hope for a better future.

• "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."[10]

• "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."[10]

• "He could not of course know—for he, Napoleon, was only now for the first time announcing it—that the name "Animal Farm" had been abolished. Henceforward the farm was to be known as "The Manor Farm"—which, he believed, was its correct and original name."[10]

The novel Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, is an allegory that explores the gradual loss of unity and hope among the animals on the farm as they attempt to create a utopian society.

The novel illustrates how the corruption of power leads to division among the animals. As pigs begin to abuse their power, the unity among the animals starts to crumble - irony

"the creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig... it was not possible to say which was which"[1] [2]. "All Animals are Equal / but some Animals are more Equal than others" [3]. "Four legs good, two legs bad" was eventually changed to "Four legs good, two legs better"

Argument 2: Leadership Manipulation Causes Disunity

The pigs' manipulation of information and history leads to disunity among the animals. By altering the truth, they create confusion and mistrust. The pigs manipulated history, as seen when

"the past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth" [5]. Squealer's alteration of facts is a prime example: "He said that the pigs were 'brainworkers'; that they did all the work of managing and organizing the farm" [6]. The changing of commandments also reflects this: "It was for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples" [7].

As time progresses, class distinctions emerge among the animals, leading to a loss of unity. The pigs begin to identify themselves as a superior class. This is evident when "

"the creatures outside... looked from pig to man" [8], indicating their similar behaviors. The pigs start living in the farmhouse: "The pigs had moved into the farmhouse"

The exploitation of animals by the pigs fosters resentment and erodes unity. The animals begin to feel cheated and overworked. The exploitation is clear when

"the work was harder than it had been in the early days" [11]. Boxer's exploitation is a significant example: "I will work harder!" became his motto, but he was sent to the slaughterhouse[12]. The hens are forced to give up their eggs: "All eggs were to be sold"

The gradual loss of original ideals contributes to the disunity among the animals. As they stray from their initial goals, confusion and dissatisfaction arise. The original ideals are reflected in

"All Animals are Equal" [14], but this changes over time. The commandments are altered: "'All Animals are Equal / but some Animals are more Equal than others'" [15]. The final state is one where "it was not possible to say which was which" between pigs and humans[16].

Fear and intimidation become tools used by the pigs to maintain control, further dividing the animals. The use of fear is evident in

The use of fear is evident in "the dogs... let out deep, menacing growls" whenever dissent is shown[17]. Napoleon's dogs chase Snowball off the farm: "the dogs bounded towards him" [18]. Executions are carried out: "the dogs promptly tore their throats out"

Propaganda is used extensively by the pigs to confuse and mislead the other animals, contributing to their disunity. Squealer's speeches often distort reality:

"He said it was for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples" [20]. The changing of slogans also reflects this: "'Four legs good, two legs bad'... was changed to 'Four legs good, two legs better'" [21]. Statistics are manipulated: "'Production of food... has increased by two hundred per cent'" [22].

Internal conflicts weaken unity within Animal Farm. Disagreements over policies and ideologies create divisions. Snowball and Napoleon's disagreement over windmill construction reflects deeper ideological differences[29]. The debate ends with Snowball's expulsion: "Snowball was chased off by Napoleon's dogs" [30]. Later divisions arise over trade with neighboring farms[31].

Napoleon.” He was always referred to in formal style as “our Leader, Comrade Napoleon,” and this pigs liked to invent for him such titles as Father of All Animals, Terror of Mankind, Protector of the Sheep-fold, Ducklings’ Friend, and the like.

Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer—except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs

If she had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak [...] Instead - she did not know why - they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes.

“ The pigs had acquired the money to buy themselves another case of whisky .

“The pigs did not actually work, but directed and supervised the others. With their superior knowledge it was natural that they should assume the leadership” (Orwell 19).

“The animals had assumed as a matter of course that these would be shared out equally; one day, however, the order went forth that all the windfalls were to be collected and brought to the harness-room for the use of the pigs” (Orwell 25).

“„You will have all the oats and hay you want”‟ (Orwell 12).

“ All that year the animals worked like slaves “
