Introduction: "Workers of all countries: Unite!" - The Communist Manifesto, Marx. Hope and rage can emerge from the thoughts of a revolution. This might be enough to overtake a totalitarian regime. However, an overthrown government must be replaced - a well working society needs leaders. This essay will, by analyzing the characters, subplot and turning point of Animal Farm, present the problems with a community like The Manor Farm. A society is unlikely to benefit everyone equally if its leaders are far more intelligent than its followers.
Characters: Squealer is an example of how the propaganda of a totalitarian regime can fool an ignorant population.
Subplot: The building of the windmill represents the pigs' use of superior intelligence to persuade the other animals into slavelike work, which ultimately only benefits the pigs.
Turning point: The decisive turning point in the book is when Napoleon, through violence of his dogs, gets rid of Snowball and becomes the pronounced leader.
