Are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?
George Orwell wrote this novel to criticize Soviet Union so it should be similar to Russian revolution. It isn’t that current, but it is the closest situation which happened to Animal Farm. When I was reading
this novel, the story was so similar to the Russian revolution. The personalities of each character were alike to people in Russian revolution. The rebellion of the animals is also similar to North Korea right now. The leader of North Korea is dictating and the citizens are painful from it. The pigs are having all advantages such as eating more, working less, sleeping in beds, changing the rules, and etc. But the animals like horses, sheep, chickens, and ducks are suffering from starvation. The animals are only relying on Napoleon to improve their life better than before but Napoleon doesn’t care about that. In North Korea, the high classes have lots of money and are very rich but the many citizens are starving to death. Same as the animals, the citizens are hoping that their country would get better at any time, but it’s not going the way they are hoping it to be.
I think the novel is not shedding any light on how current situations could be resolved or “fixed” because of the ending of the book. The book ends by showing Napoleon and other farmers fighting over a card game and it is said that they could not be defined of who is animal and who is not. The book doesn’t show whether the other animals stood against the pigs or they kept on following them.
