what is the conflict in animal farm?

Question

also do u find any imagery or figures of speech used?

Answer 1

Socialism (or you could take it to mean any ideology that promotes equality) and capitalism. Extreme capitalism is represented by the farmer. There are also conflicts within socialism (Snowball and the evil pig, Napoleon i think it's called?) etc. It's about the conflict between corrupt extremes on both sides of the political spectrum, and the devastating effect that this has on the majority of the population (the animals live just as bad under Napoleon's rule as they did under the farmer). It shows George Orwell's disillusionment with the Russian Revolution.

The statement that 'animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others' is funny at first and we don't take it very seriously, but it has many serious historical parallels, e.g.:

Sir Edmund Barton, declared rather nonsensically, "I cannot believe that the doctrine of the equality of man was ever intended to include the coloured races."

Answer 2

major conflict · There are a number of conflicts in Animal Farm—the animals versus Mr. Jones, Snowball versus Napoleon, the common animals versus the pigs, Animal Farm versus the neighboring humans—but all of them are expressions of the underlying tension between the exploited and exploiting classes and between the lofty ideals and harsh realities of socialism.
