Commentary on the Work | Orwell's Life and Animal Farm
Author's chronology

Into the book
Four days later, late in the afternoon, Napoleon ordered all the animals to gather in the yard.
When all the animals had gathered, Napoleon emerged from the main building, wearing two decorations (he had recently awarded himself the 'Order of Heroism of Animals, First Class' and the 'Order of Heroism of Animals, Second Class').
Nine huge dogs ran around him.
The growling of the dogs sent shivers down the spines of all animals.
The animals remained in their places, cowering, and said nothing.
It was like I knew something terrible was going to happen.

--- From Chapter 7

Napoleon was holding a whip in his forelegs.
The yard was as quiet as a mouse.
The startled and terrified animals huddled together and watched the pigs slowly advance in a long line around the yard.
It was as if the world had turned upside down.
As the shock wore off, the animals realized that they had to protest no matter what.
Dogs are scary, and I've gotten into the habit of never complaining or criticizing no matter what happens for a long time, but I still thought I had to say something.
But at that very moment, as if given a signal, all the sheep began to sang this song with great ferocity.
“Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better!” The sheep chanted for five minutes without stopping.
As they became silent, the animals lost their chance to protest.
Because the pigs had returned to their original state.
--- From Chapter 10

Now it was clear what was happening to the pigs' faces.
The animals outside the window looked at the pig and saw the human, then the human and saw the pig, then the pig and saw the human.
But it was already impossible to distinguish between the two.
--- From Chapter 10

“George Orwell’s creativity has produced a ‘critical classic’ that the century should not miss.”
_ From Amazon reviews

A satire on the dictatorship that suppresses freedom

In Animal Farm, the pigs, who serve as the leaders of the revolution, announce the "Seven Commandments" and establish the basic principles of Animalism.
This commandment advocates the socialist ideology of equality, but it is being distorted by the manipulation of pigs.
The pigs, who openly display their lust for power and cleverly manipulate the Seven Commandments to place themselves in a special class, completely abandon the basic principles of Animalism.
They call other animals 'lower class animals' and exploit their labor, which is no different from humans.


Animal Farm is a work that criticizes and satirizes the Soviet system under Stalin's dictatorship, and contains sharp criticism of socialism.
This work, which denounced the political realities of the early 20th century, criticized the violence of totalitarian regimes that suppressed freedom and advocated for equality for all.
Animal Farm, which satirizes the authoritarian nature of humans through a relatively simple story structure with animals as the main characters, shows the real world of the past, present, and future.
George Orwell's signature concise writing style and light humor, seen throughout the work, also add to the enjoyment of reading Animal Farm.
Through the author's unique, brilliant creativity and light humor, this masterpiece reflects the reality of the time when ideology was distorted by the lust for power, and also reflects our current state, and is still loved by readers.
