Animal Farm Themes and Symbols

In the final chapter of the book, many years have passed, and the farm has changed significantly. The pigs have taken full control, and the Rebellion is a distant memory for the younger animals. The farm appears prosperous, but conditions are poor for non-pigs. The pigs unveil new abilities, such as walking on two legs, and change the commandments to suit their needs. A dinner party with local farmers reveals the pigs' alignment with humans, blurring the lines between them. The story serves as a parable for power and exploitation, questioning whether different systems merely replace one form of oppression with another. Benjamin's role highlights the potential for change if action is taken.
