There was a deadly silence. Amazed, terrified, huddling together, the animals watched the long line of pigs march slowly round the yard.
It was a though the world had turned upside-down. Then there came a moment when the first shock had worn off and when, in spite of everything-in spite of their terror of the dogs, and of the habit, developed through long years, of never complaining, never criticizing, no matter what happened-they might have uttered some word of protest. But just at that moment, as though at a signal, all the sheep burst out into a tremendous bleating of-
“Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better!”
-from page 132, Animal Farm
This is the passage when the pigs walk with their two legs and the animals are terrified. I wondered how they learned to walk like that. The sheep were very supportive to Napoleon but they weren’t that smart so Napoleon made them memorized “four legs good, two legs bad!” at first when they established Animal Farm. At first, even Napoleon thought that all animals were equal but as the time passed, Napoleon got the taste of power and thought he was different from other animals. When the pigs decided to be like humans, the quote “four legs good, two legs bad” should have been a little distraction because it would mean that when they walk with two legs, they were bad. So the pigs taught the sheep the fixed quote, “four legs good, two legs better!” Seemingly, the pigs said that all animals were equal but in the inside they regarded themselves as the high classes. In the beginning, the animal farm had 7 commandments and the last one said that all animals were equal, but later Napoleon erases all of the 7 commandments and there were only one commandment left: all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others. From these passages, I can see that the original intentions of the pigs were changing in a bad way.
