Have you ever felt like your government was lying to you? Hide things, change things behind your back, or convince you that they never said things you distinctly remember them saying? In the book Animal Farm by 20th century British author George Orwell many of the farm animals felt the same way. They also had suspicions about how honest their leaders were, but like most of society, when rulers make excuses or explain their reasoning, citizens believe or forgive them almost immediately. Most of society prefers to be treated as a faceless people, preferring to let someone govern and control them so they don't have to make big economic choices themselves, but what most people don't consider is that when they indulge to someone the power to govern a district, they also granted the power to control the inhabitants of that district. No matter how wrong we feel in our hearts, society will believe lies and address injustices if the man in charge has a good enough excuse, it is no secret that humanity is easily persuaded and exploited by its dignitaries. Commandments and rules were adopted soon after Jones' expulsion to bring order to Animal Farm, but the guidelines were not followed by all the animals on the farm. After Jones was kicked out of the farm, the animals decided to explore the farm, after exploring the house “on the spot a unanimous resolution was passed that the farm should be preserved as a museum. Everyone agreed that no animal should ever live there” (p. 23). Everyone on the farm agreed that no animal would ever live in that house, yet months later no one made a fuss when the pigs took it upon themselves to erase that rule. of paper...they are brutes, too ignorant to realize what was happening...” (page 123) once again they let themselves be deceived by the pigs. Throughout the book we see tales of the pigs' manipulation of the farm animals, without the animals the pigs would never have risen to power, yet they let it go to their heads and lied and mistreated the animals to get what they wanted. The beasts had several chances to rebel against the pigs, but for some reason they turned their heads towards injustice and ignored their sense of reason and logic, perhaps they feared they had to be in charge, perhaps they were just too naive to see it . , or maybe they actually believed the lies. Whatever their reasoning, we see the same things in human society, and George Orwell does a good job of showing us how willing society is to turn its head on injustice and consent to being exploited by a higher power..
