Animal
Farm
George
Orwell, whose real name is Eric Arthur Blair, did not become what his parents
wanted, in contrast he followed his dreams and became a journalist and writer.
He wrote lots of little stories but none of them has the effect as his allegorical
novella ‘Animal Farm’.
When we just look at the book’s name
and its content, one can think that it is just a fable. However, if you go
behind of it, you can find more interesting and uncomfortable background. The
story is about USSR and Russian Revolution.
The animals living in the farm are
more than just animals. Each of them reflects an important character which has
a deep effect of that time diplomacy. One of the head characters Napoleon
reflects the Stalin and the other, Snowball, represents Trotsky. Mollie
represents the enemies of the state and Old Major represents Lenin, Marx and
Engels.
One of my favourite quote from Animal Farm is that all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.That is it !
Dear Gonca,
YanıtlaSilThe reason why I commented this entry is that I also liked very much George Orwell's Animal Farm. I can see that you summarized the whole content with a few words. It is not a problem, indeed, it is a very good thing that saying the intented content without noising this abroad. I also enjoy while reading your multi media entry. Your subject has a profoundness in terms of politics. And your quote from Animal Farm is also my favorite quote from it. I think that this play is a very successful criticism on USSR. I found your entry plain and simple, which is a good qualification. This short summary made me remember the play vividly. Thank you Gonca, it was a pleasant entry.
