Animal Farm mind map reading notes
"Animal Farm" is one of Orwell's best works. It is a profound anti-Utopia political allegory. A group of animals on the farm successfully carried out a "revolution", driving their exploitative human masters out of the farm and establishing an equal animal society. However, the animal leaders, those smart pigs, eventually usurped the fruits of the revolution and became more authoritarian and totalitarian rulers than their human counterparts. "If one more person watches Orwell, there will be an additional guarantee of freedom," one commentator said.

Introduction
"Animal Farm" is one of Orwell's best works. It is a profound anti-Utopia political allegory. A group of animals on the farm successfully carried out a "revolution", driving their exploitative human masters out of the farm and establishing an equal animal society. However, the animal leaders, those smart pigs, eventually usurped the fruits of the revolution and became more authoritarian and totalitarian rulers than their human counterparts. "If one more person watches Orwell, there will be an additional guarantee of freedom," one commentator said.

Appendix: Preface to the Ukrainian edition of "Animal Farm"
george orwell
“I became a socialist mainly out of disgust at the oppression and neglect of the poorer sections of the industrial workers, rather than out of any theoretical desire for a planned society.
All this experience was a valuable objective lesson: it taught me how easily totalitarian propaganda can control the public opinion of enlightened people in democracies.
So for the past ten years I have been convinced that if we are to revitalize the socialist movement, it is necessary to break down the Soviet myth.
If these animals knew their own power, we would have no control over them, and humans would exploit the animals just as the rich exploit the proletariat.
I don't want to comment on this work, if it doesn't speak for itself then it's a failure.
Emphasize two points
Although some of the plots are taken from the actual history of the Russian Revolution, they are abbreviated and their chronology reversed, as is necessary for the completeness of the story.
what most critics ignore
Completely repaired ending for pigs and humans. This is not my original intention
Because I wrote this immediately after the Tehran Conference, which was believed to have established the best possible relationship between the Soviet Union and the West. I personally thought this relationship would last a long time, and it turns out I wasn't wrong...
