In his allegorical novel Animal Farm, George Orwell argues that those who allow themselves to be blinded by their naive devotion to their work inevitably allow others to profit from them, thereby results in the eventual destruction of everything they have worked for. By using a simple, light-hearted fairy tale, he could convey his message without alienating his readers – readers weary of the darkness of World War II and ready to enter a newer, happier, more optimistic time, but who , according to Orwell, needed to be warned to be vigilant against a future controlled by power-hungry leaders. The author attracts the attention of readers by representing the reality of human conditions, so that they can learn lessons such as “power corrupts”. The ignorance of the mass of animals shows that education contributes substantially to the current understanding of government. George Orwell makes readers aware of the role of education in stratifying the population of Animal Farm. After Old Major's death, it was the pigs who took over the power to lead and supervise the others - the pigs who are the most intelligent among the animals and "with their superior knowledge, it was natural that they would assume leadership » (17). At first, the pigs are loyal to their fellow pigs and to the revolutionary cause. However, it will not be long before the intelligence and education of pigs turn from "tools of enlightenment to instruments of oppression" (Orwell). As soon as pigs are confronted with something material they want – “milk and apples” (23) to stay healthy – they remove equality from animalism and use their intellectual knowledge to deceive other animals. For example, knowing that other animals cannot read or write, the pig...... middle of paper...... educating small puppies while they are still young is only out of a thirst for power. The fact that he exiled Snowball to the farm using his trained adult wild dogs: “Dogs wearing copper-studded collars came bounding into the barn. They rushed straight at Snowball, who only jumped out of his house just in time to escape their snapping jaws"(35). Napoleon is absolutely a power-hungry ruler, a selfish pig who can tolerate any form of violence, solely for self-protection and the corruption of power The author leads readers to distinguish their views on education and think about how it could be useful in serving their animal society Works Cited Orwell. , George.
