Animal Farm's Use of Animals to Portray Utopia vs. Dystopia

In the book, Animal Farm, George Orwell uses animals to portray views of utopia versus dystopia. The animals adequately represent a way in which there are utopias, and there are also dystopia's mixed in.

The pigs are getting their version of a utopia. Throughout the novel the pigs are getting way getting it way bettter than the rest of the animals. The pigs seem to turn almost human throughout the course of the novel. When the rest o fthe animals rations are decreased, at seems as though the pigs rations are increased. The pigs are convincing the other animals of their ideas.

The other animals, besides the pigs, are experiencing a dystopia. The pigs utopia led to a dystopia for the rest of the animals. The animals have to work hard to build the windmill. These animals rations are cut down. These animals are going through a version of hell only Napoleon can give.

George Orwell artfully uses animals to portray his views of utopia versus dystopia. The animals portray utopia and dystopia intertwined.
