Explain you answer. Benjamin’s philosophy is Orwell’s philosophy as well because “All animals were equal” (Orwell 132) is the same asto what we humans use to say, we always say that (All humans are equal). 6. “It might be that their lives were hard and that not all of their hopes had been fulfilled” (Orwell 131).

Within the novella’s allegory of Soviet history, Benjamin represents the intellectuals who failed to oppose Stalin. More broadly, Benjamin represents all intellectuals who choose to ignore politics. Benjamin pays a high price for his refusal to engage with the Farm’s politics.

Benjamin is an old and pessimistic donkey. No one on the farm knows exactly how old he is but it is hinted that he has been around for a very long time. He is never enthusiastic when things go well for the animals; likewise, he is never surprised or upset when things go wrong.

Throughout, there are suspicions about Benjamin’s philosophy of life, but on page 130, he tells it to the reader. Do you think Benjamin’s philosophy is Orwell’s philosophy? Yes. 63.

The sight of Squealer and the pigs walking on two legs. What keeps the animals from protesting? The sheep’s singing. Squealer has changed the sheep’s song from “Four legs good, two legs bad” into…

In chapter 6, the pigs begin behaving like humans by engaging in trade with other farmers and occupying the farmhouse. The pigs also sleep in Mr. Jones’s old bed and Napoleon continues to reign as a tyrant. Toward the end of the novella, the pigs behave like humans by walking upright and wearing clothes.

The pigs become like the humans by the end of the story as throughout the story they have revealed similar traits; they want to seize power and maintain control over all the other animals. This is why they end up appearing quite indistinguishable from the humans.

He told them that the resolution was never passed; only imaginative. How did Squealer justify the fact that the pigs were now sleeping in beds? He said that the commandment was “animals weren’t allowed to sleep in beds with sheets” and they were sleeping in the beds but just not with the sheets.

Why do the pigs get up an hour later now? Pigs are getting more privileges. How did Squealer manipulate the of the Fourth Commandment?

It is ironic because instead of working for humans, they are working for pigs that have the same goal as the humans. Meaning that the animals are slaves to the pigs or that they worked really hard like slaves do.

The situational irony in the piece is that the animals took over the farm so they could run it themselves. They didn’t like the way they were being treated by the humans, but in the end they end up exactly like them.

It is ironic that the pigs carry whips because the revolution was supposed to end animal oppression, but it has only been replaced by Napoleon and his authoritative pigs. Ironically, the pigs now act like the animals’ former tyrannical human masters.

The book’s final image expresses the animals’ realization that the pigs have become as cruel and oppressive as human farmers. Powerful people are cruel and selfish whether they’re pigs or humans, Communists or capitalists. Above all, the ending suggests that all powerful people are liars and manipulators.
