Animal Farm
(Orwell, George)
Animal Farm is also utopian literature, because in his representation of the negative excesses, Orwell indirectly expresses his expectations and hopes. Animal Farm shows Orwell to be a sceptic as far as social changes are concerned - he asks the question whether revolutions are the right vehicle for bringing about changes for the majority of the population. His message can only be interpreted thus - this can only be the case if the course of the revolution remains controllable and if it's decided that the leadership is to seperate itself from the masses - that's to say, from a given point, it only concerns itself with its own interest. But to achieve this, every person should be in the position to attentively pursue and judge political developments; this presupposes on the other hand, that they overcome their lethargy and mental laziness. Only then can the revolution bring long term change for those who originally initiated it.
