J’ai aussi trouvé que la forme allégorique n’était pas totalement assumée. Il y avait souvent des détails concernant les humains qui nous sortaient du sentiment de « fable » que nous devrions ressentir en se plongeant dans l’histoire.
Moderate: Animal cruelty

How everyone shares responsibilities to run it smoothly and where every member of this farm is happy and satisfied with their newly gained freedom.
Just like all governments our animal farm too sees power corrupting the leaders and how slowly they turn into the same oppressors that the animals once rid themselves off.
My way of perceiving a book is not ideal. I want to Understand what the character is feeling and why they are doing what they’re doing, even if it is one of the worst decision from the options they had.
The animals do what they deem right. “Power always goes to the head” is a well known phrase to which the antagonists of this book have done a lot of justice :)
I once asked a friend “If I was in a position of power would I do the same things?”, to which they said “Yes.”
It got me thinking, is it okay to completely rely on people in power? Do we not need to keep the leaders in check? If the public sees something obviously wrong and immoral, shouldn’t we raise our voice against it? How can we blindly trust the people in power? Blind faith has always been the downfall of nations.
The public has the rights and it is actually their duty to question the leaders on their decisions. After all, we, the public have put them in that position of power as our representatives and they are answerable to us.
