Animal Farm is a novel by George Orwell about animals who rebel against their farm workers and take over the farm. Both novels are used as allegories. Golding and Orwell use their novels as allegories, Golding warns about the savage nature of human beings, while Orwell uses his novel to warn about the corrupting influence of power. Golding uses the harsh environment setting to warn about the savage nature of humans. Orwell uses the continued corruption of the pigs to warn of the corruption that power brings with it. Golding uses the slow change in the characters' traits to warn about the boys' true nature. Golding uses the characters' negative traits to warn about the savage nature of humans. All characters start on the island as equals, characteristically. As the story progresses, some characters begin to show their wild nature, Jack and Roger to name two. “He was trying to convey the compulsion to track and kill that was eating away at him” (Golding, 51). That sentence is one of the first to show the true and wild nature of the boys. It shows the compulsion to kill and destroy that is taking hold. “The mask was a thing unto itself, behind which Jack had freed himself from shame and self-consciousness” “Important quotes from Lord of the Flies,” web, May 15, 2014. Golding means that we all hide behind a mask; we call it society and that deep down we are all savages. If his mask is removed, the savage comes back to life! “This head is for the beast. It is a gift." (Golding, 151) In this quote Golding shows jack trading awa... in the center of the card... the corrupting influence of the pig. Orwell creatively manipulated all the elements of this story to create an allegory effective and powerful. Lord of the Flies and Animal Farm are two novels by William Golding and George Orwell that are used as allegories to warn about the wild nature of human beings and the corrupting influence of power. Golding uses the setting and symbolism to warn about the wild nature of human beings. Orwell uses the corruption of pigs to warn about the corrupting influence of power. And if the wild nature of humanity were not buried so deeply, we would be animalists or more advanced, having learned from our wild side and having taken a completely new path scientifically and socially What if power was distributed equally so that no one person had too much or too little, everyone would be corrupt or no one would be corrupt because no one? it has so much power??
