Animal Farm to the Real World
A form of allegory that happens frequently in the real world that also happens in this story is betrayal and confusion. There is a scene in the story that implies that the two pigs Napoleon and Squealer have ran Snowball off and out of the farm. The two pigs are the malicious ones who are trying to take control over the farm and inhabitants. The two pigs accuse Snowball, the good pig, of being a traitor and a criminal. The things that Snowball is being accused of are false accusations. Yet they are being taken seriously for a while until the farm animals realize that the other two pigs are manipulators and are also very malicious. This scene in the story is similar to multiple events in life especially in adolescents. Young teenage kids in these days have their ways of manipulating, betraying, and being malicious. These days you see it everywhere people of all ages, sizes, and races are accused falsely or maybe framed. People do this type of thing to have others turn their backs on the victim. This is a form of allegory that happens in the story as well as in the real world.
