Abstract

Georg Orwell's novel Animal Farm places the focus of events on Mr. Jones's farm in Northern England. Although in terms of time frame, the novel, like 1984, is current for all time. At the Animal Farm, allusions flow to the October Revolution of 1917, in which the Bolsheviks rose up against the Tsarist Russia of Nicholas II. Space itself, the animal farm where the author places the events, sheds sarcastic light on the events he narrates. The focus of events is injustice, wrongful interventions, manipulation of the popular masses, the establishment of the communist order, which is nothing but the hidden desire for one dictator to be replaced by another. The author prudently directs the satire and parody, from the historical events of this time, which are documented, explaining the object of the novel in a genius way. At first glance, the theme is light and simple and looks like a children's book, but a little scratching under the surface of the novel is enough to reveal and expose the terrible and hegemonic history of the Soviet Union, which keeps them under the animal rule, oppressed peoples.
