's novel
spotlights the pigs' betrayal of 's ideas of equality and freedom and how
the pigs instead decide to emulate the behaviors they previously despised in Mr. Jones. The pigs
end up oppressing the other farm animals, just as they had all been oppressed under the farmer.
Animal Farm is a story about how easy it is for hierarchical patterns to
emerge in resistance movements that claim to be fighting against such
hierarchies.
The pigs betray the idea of truth because they take control of
what constitutes truth and falsehood, denying the other animals the ability to believe their own
experiences, which is perhaps the most complete form of degradationeven worse than what they
experienced under Mr. Jones.
