Background Our world broken into three super countries in 1984. Ocean States, Eurasian and East Asian countries(大洋国、欧亚国和东亚国),they always have wars. they change history, change language. they use telescreen(电幕) to control people. Animal Farm Animal Farm is an allegorical novel by George Orwell. The novel was set in the Manor Farm where a revolution led by pigs broke out. They put the Old Major’s dream into reality and drove the drunken and irresponsible owner Mr Jones from the farm. They renamed the farm as Animal Farm. However, two pigs struggled for leadership. The pig who won became more and more tyrannous and got more privileges. Finally, the pig became the same as humans who oppressed the animals and Animal Farm got damaged. Main characters Old Major: An aged prize Middle White boar is the inspiration that fuels the Rebellion in the book. He is an allegory of Karl Marx and Lenin, the founders of Communism Napoleon: A large, rather fierce-looking Berkshire boar, the only Berkshire on the farm, not much of a talker, but with a reputation for getting his own way, An allegory of Stalin. Snowball: Napoleons rival and original head of the farm after Jones overthrow. He is mainly based on Trotsky, but also combines elements from Lenin. Squealer: A small white fat porker who serves as Napoleons right hand pig and minister of propaganda, holding a position similar to that of Molotov. At the end of the novel, the pigs played cards with humans and walked upright. It is even hard to tell the difference between pigs and humans. That is another highlight to satirize the rulers’ corruption and implies the final failure of revolution. All the delicate plots can be seen as predictions of the Former Soviet Union’s breaking up.
