ANIMAL FARM

The novel Animal Farm is a great novel in terms of politics, but this novel has shown me in the extensive work done how animals and humans are alike and how people have lost their morals and values. Snowball, Napoleon and Squealer are the important characters who were driven by the great words of wisdom which Old Major has said. These characters firstly drive the people towards “Animalism” and thereafter change everything to suit them; they rob the other animals of their milk and apples. Napoleon goes to the extent of taking the puppies from their mothers and indoctrinating them to be his bodyguards. The animal’s behavior is similar to mans behavior. In the end, men and pig are looked at by the other animals and they can not see any difference between the two of them. Men are like pigs and are compared to pigs. Here we can as well look at the shameless actions which men do and we can derive that we are becoming like animals and heartless beasts. The reading of Animal Farm has helped me realize that we men are truly in a state of lost, which is stated in the Quran. It also showed me the wrong which men do upon men for self gain and how they have the audacity to live with their actions without remorse. Thus I conclude by saying that Animal Farm is a great novel which can change ones views and make one see things in people that hasn’t seen before.
