o The farm represents the land of the Soviet Union. Farmer Jones (represents the tsar) takes
advantage of the animals (the people), because he has always done so and he feels it right.
When the animals revolt, they are led by the intelligent pigs. The plot parallels historical events:
the idealistic revolution, the establishment of secret police (the dogs), forced civilisation of the
farm and so on. The leader-pig Napoleon has become more like the old farmer and manipulates
other animals. The revolutionary doctrine that "All animals are equal" has been corrupted to
"Some animals are more equal than others".
Nineteen-Eighty-Four describes England under a dictatorship of mechanised bureaucracy. It is a story of
Winston Smith, the man who was dissatisfied with the system, but had no chance of changing it and
finally his personality was absolutely destroyed. Orwell shows the real totality with all its atrocities and
nonsense.
