They make 7 commandments being “All animals are equal” the most important one. The book shows how total equality is hard to achieve and power corrupts. The novel uses peer pressure to control and manipulate what is happening on the farm. It is evident on how the action of the animals changes. It is evident on how Boxer’s way of thinking changes. It is also evident in the actions of the sheep and what it does to the other animals. Peer pressure plays a big role in this novel.
The pigs use peer pressure to greatly influence the animals’ way of thinking and actions. They always say to the animals that if they do not work properly or not obey the pigs Mr. Jones will come back. The pressure that this creates makes the animals work harder and obey the pigs’ orders. They also use the dogs to scare the animals. An example is whenever Squealer gives speeches the dogs are always on his back. This is peer pressure because fear is being used against them to make them do things. Squealer’s speeches confuse the animals and thus making the animals obey him or agree to him. An example of this speech is when Squealer talks about how the banishment of Snowball was the right thing to do.
