How does 'Animal Farm' as a satire novel reflect society?

It reflects society by showing how power can corrupt. Just like in real - world politics, those in power in the farm, the pigs, start to abuse it. They live in luxury while the other animals work hard. It also reflects how propaganda can be used to mislead the masses. Squealer's lies keep the other animals in line.

One of the main themes is the corruption of power. In 'Animal Farm', the pigs, who initially led the revolution for equality among animals, gradually become corrupt and start to abuse their power. Another theme is the naivete of the working class. The other animals, like the horses and sheep, are too trusting and easily manipulated by the pigs. They don't question the pigs' actions until it's too late.

It reflects how power can corrupt leaders. Just like in real - world politics, those in power may start with good intentions but end up abusing their position for personal gain. In 'Animal Farm', the pigs at first seem to be fighting for the rights of all animals but later become self - serving.

The ending of Animal Farm is quite bleak. The pigs become indistinguishable from the humans they once opposed, and the ideals of the revolution are betrayed.

Symbolism in Animal Farm is extensive. Orwell uses the character of Old Major as a symbol of the initial revolutionary idea. He plants the seed of rebellion in the animals' minds. The pigs' transformation from comrades to dictators is symbolized by their changing behavior and appearance. For instance, they start walking on two legs like humans. The milk and apples that the pigs take for themselves symbolize the perks and privileges that the ruling class often appropriates for themselves. The animals' different reactions to these symbols show how a society can be divided and manipulated.

The economic situation in 'Animal Farm' also has historical parallels. The mismanagement and exploitation of resources by the pigs mirror how in some historical situations, resources were misused or unfairly distributed among the people.

The novel shows through allegory that power corrupts. The pigs start as revolutionaries but end up as tyrants. This is like in human society where people who start with good intentions often get corrupted by power. Also, the way the other animals are made to work hard while the pigs enjoy the benefits is like how in society, the working class can be exploited by the upper class.

The graphic novel has pictures while the original text doesn't. The pictures in the graphic novel can help readers visualize the story better.

Animal Farm functions as a dystopian novel as it shows a society that starts with good intentions but turns into a nightmare. The animals overthrow the humans hoping for equality, but soon the pigs, especially Napoleon, become tyrannical. The initial utopian dream of a fair and equal animal - run farm is shattered. There is oppression, misinformation, and the common animals are exploited, much like in a typical dystopian society where the ideals are perverted.

Animal Farm functions as a historical novel by using the story of the animals on the farm to represent historical events. It mainly reflects the Russian Revolution and the early days of the Soviet Union. For example, the pigs taking over the farm can be seen as a parallel to the Bolsheviks coming to power. The changing commandments on the barn wall are like the changing political ideologies and propaganda during that time in history.
