Animal Farm is a book by George Orwell. The themes of the book are directed at an adult audience. However, it is presented like a children's story.
The themes of the story as well as the novel I read throughout this semester have similarities and differences. Some similarities that the themes of Animal Farm and The Most Dangerous Game share one main trait which is that they both include evading something. In the case of Animal Farm the animals are trying to evade humans and cruelty while in The Most Dangerous Game Sanger is trying to evade General Zaroff. One main difference between the themes of Animal Farm and The Most Dangerous Game is that in The Most Dangerous Game it was a adventurous chase while in Animal Farm it was a rebellious struggle of freedom.

Benjamin, the donkey in Animal Farm, serves as a cynical and wise observer of the events on the farm. His character contributes to the themes of apathy, skepticism, and the failure of the revolution.
