He became Napoleon's right hand man by making everyone believe they remembered wrongly about the commandments, and ensured that everyone always believed Napoleon was a good leader.The best example of an animal gaining power through propaganda was Napoleon.
However, the reader can deduce that the animals were clearly being deceived but had no options.
This irony enables the reader to realize the amount of times that their leaders have deceived them but there is nothing that they can do about due to manner in which the deception takes place.
Therefore, Orwell’s Animal Farm is a book that describes the modern society but in a hidden way due to the choice of animals as the characters.
Most of the incidences can be cleared compared to today’s world and the things that are happening in the world of leadership.
Hence, given the fact that the sheep had influenced the formation of an equal society, they were too dumb to realize the word sheets as it was on the wall.
This is reflected in today’s world whereby people advocate for the large and general things like equality to be implemented but forget about the little details.Finally, when the windmill was first destroyed, Napoleon used propaganda to make all the animals believe that Snowball had destroyed the windmill himself and was a traitor from the beginning.He even convinced them that Snowball had actually tried to sabotage the Battle of Cowshed, but failed.In addition, Orwell uses irony in the scene whereby the commandments governing the animals were printed on the wall.However, the irony comes in the rule number four which was written “sheets” instead of “sheeps”.In Animal Farm, people that were lying and using propaganda were gaining power.The pigs were given larger amounts of food, and lived in better conditions than the other animals.In addition, the pigs in the story displayed a lot of greed.This can be an allegory of today’s leaders who are willing to do anything so that they can remain in power or even secure more power.This story can be used as an allegory of today’s life by taking the animals to represent human beings and the farm to represent the world.There are different aspects of writing that Orwell used and can best describe today’s world and the manner in which people relate with one another. Orwell uses the sheep which can represent the character of the masses in today’s world.
