Leaders And Followers In Animal Farm
As Fidel Castro once said, “A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.” George Orwell throughout his novel Animal Farm demonstrates this idea. The animals represent the people in the Russian Revolution. Struggling for freedom, but not being able to see past the wants of their leaders.

Muriel for example, but she isn’t smart enough to connect the dots of what's going on, and Benjamin, one of the educated animals on the farm, just doesn't do anything about it.

The animals have also never thought to make sure that Squealers information was backed up.The animals aren’t smart enough to realize that the rebellion has done nothing for them whatsoever. A lot of the animals have forgotten about the time before the rebellion, and they don’t realize that nothing Old Major has said is becoming a reality. The animals think everything is ok as long as a human isn’t running the farm. Animal Farm, is about a farm with a strong leader-follower community. Since the pigs are smart and intelligent, they run the farm and make the other animals respect them out of fear and stupidity. The follower animals just go along with what the leader animals do
