Consider current events, and describe a real-world example of one of the themes expressed in Animal Farm (e. g. class warfare, corruption, greed, etc.). In 7-10 sentences, compare the current event to George Orwell's representation of the same theme.

The example that I will discuss is that of the corruption that power brings.

In the novel Animal Farm, we learn that the pigs want freedom from the rule of humans. They initially believe in this cause as much as all the other animals. However, as time passes, they are able to gain more and more power, and this power turns them into corrupt, selfish characters. They no longer care about all the animals in the farm. Instead, they only care about having more privileges for themselves. This is a good example of how power can corrupt honest people. A real-world example would be a politician who starts out his career by caring about people, but after gaining power, only cares about making more profit and getting benefits for his family and himself.

A current theme that is portrayed in "Animal Farm" is that physical force without political consciousness means nothing.

George Orwell got the idea for his dystopian fable (Animal Farm) after realizing that humans are capable of taming and commanding animals because they, although stronger, are not aware that they are being dominated, and that a similar relationship was established between bosses and the proletariat.

That is to say, it used the very principle of the fable, the inversion between the human and animal roles, as a parallel to the organization of labor in capitalist society, to demonstrate that the relations of power that would be formed among the proletarians themselves after the revolution could misrepresent the socialist ideal.
