What are the 10 commandments used in Animal farm?

Answer 1

At first, the pigs take Old Major's ideas and produce the Seven Commandments of Animalism being:

1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
3. No animal shall wear clothes.
4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.
5. No animal shall drink alcohol.
6. No animal shall kill any other animal.
7. All animals are equal.

This seventh commandment is considered the most important.

After the pigs succumb to the temptation of human vices, they amend the fourth, fifth and sixth:

No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets.

No animal shall drink alcohol to excess.

No animal shall kill any other animal without cause.

Finally the commandments are abandoned altogether in favour of expressions such as "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others", and "Four legs good, two legs better!" emphasising how far the pigs have strayed from the original ideals of the new order.

Answer 2

In George Orwell's "Animal Farm," the commandments are altered throughout the story to suit the pigs' changing desires. However, the original commandments included principles such as "Four legs good, two legs bad," "Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy," and "All animals are equal." Eventually, these commandments are gradually changed or disregarded by the ruling class of pigs, highlighting the corruption and hypocrisy of those in power.
