This last half of the book was a very interesting read. There were twist and turns, surprises, and a lot of foreshadowing. At first it was the humans vs. the animals. Then it turned to the animals against each other. Nothing good was going to come from this.
Things were continuously going south and only lies and deceit could make things seem better. Sides were being taken and rumors were flourishing. While reading this book it is interesting to see the connection between Communism and the animals. This book also shows how naive some people are and how sneaky and power hungry others can be. When there was a problem to no fault of the animals they were brainwashed to the point where they themselves would say, "I do not understand it. I would not have believed that such things could happen... It must be due to some fault in ourselves" (Orwell 85). This book showed never ending levels of dictatorship and how it is impossible for people to stay classless. Ones ability to convince others, higher education, and strength would determine ones spot in a communistic government and this book is a great example.
Soon these animals in denial realized what was going on and refused to stay silent anymore. This might have been what Orwell pictured when he saw communism: an end and people standing up for themselves for in the end if no one is the same communism is just and unfair and unequal democracy. This is for in the end no one could tell the humans from the pigs apart meaning that they were the same and that in the end communism failed them.
