    My notes:
    - allegory > Orwell's goal is to show how the principles of communism are corrupted > Stalin abused the principles of communism which began the Russian revolution and Russia became capitalist. (maybe even worse)
    - Russia was capitalist prior to the 1917 > was ruled by the tsar but taken over by bolsheviks who introduced communist ideas.
    - Carl Marx > German intellectual who articulated the rules of communism > believed that capitalism should be abolished to create an equal society.
    - communism > idea that the state should equally allocate all resources and properties to the citizens.
    - conflict within the Bolshevik party between Stalin and Trotsky > Stalin assassinated Trotsky.
    - Trotsky wad very committed to the principles of communism.
    - Main principle of communism is to abolish hierarchy.
    - Humans tend to create a division between themselves even in a communist society > Napoleon and the pigs are seen as superior to the proletariat.
    - importance of education: Squealer manages to obfuscate the truth - he is a propaganda tool - Orwell shares the message that we should all be equally educated in order to question the actions of a dictator.
    - The ideas of an animalism society is destroyed due to Napoleon's hamartia which is the desire for power - Stalin was a power- hungry tyrant.
    "Our lives are miserable, laborious and short." (Old Major)
    - asyndetic listing with gruesome adjectives > emphasises how extremely mistreated the animals are by humans.
    - Old Major articulates the ideas of animalism in hopes that the animals will form a utopian society full of peace, however this is disrupted by the pigs greed.
    "Napoleon is always right."
    - instills fear into the animals so they keep obeying Napoleon.
    - manipulates them into doing whatever Napoleon orders them to.
    - anyone who opposes Napoleon will regret it.
    "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others."
    - highlights the degradation and destruction of the principles of animalism.
    - creates a hierarchy.
    - juxtaposition
    - creates a haunting atmosphere around the novella as it touches with the issues of society.

      orwell favours snowball (with all the positive adjectives etc.) to encourage the reader to align with him and value intelligence in leadership instead of napoleon's use of force
