Discuss the major issue raised in the novel Animal Farm.
The major issue raised in the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell is the corrupting nature of power and the dangers of a totalitarian government. The novel is a political allegory that uses a group of farm animals to satirize the events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the early years of the Soviet Union. Through the characters of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, who rise to leadership positions within the animal community, Orwell illustrates how those in power can manipulate and control others for their own gain, ultimately leading to the oppression of the lower classes. The
novel also serves as a warning about the dangers of blindly following leaders and the importance of maintaining a vigilant and informed citizenry.
