Animal Farm Themes and Concepts

In Chapter 3, the animals on the farm are thriving, with the pigs taking on supervisory roles. However, discontent arises as the pigs reserve milk and apples for themselves, justifying it as necessary for their mental work. While most animals work hard, some like Molly and a cat shirk their duties. Sunday meetings are held, but tensions between Napoleon and Snowball are evident. The pigs' control grows, with limited education for other animals, and signs of future issues are foreshadowed.
