What did George Orwell think of revolution?

Answer 1

I don't think George Orwell meant harm when he wrote the book. I read that he suffered from a neglected disease and that can't of made him feel good. His view of humanity was probably pessimistic at the time. But the thought of animals taking over is disturbing.

Answer 2

George Orwell was a staunch socialist who believed in the rights of the working class and therefore agreed with the aims of the Russian Revolution however he was against using the idea of revolution as a means of gaining extraordinary power like the Russian Revolution did. He criticised the Bolsheviks who fought in the Russian Revolution later after the Spanish Civil War who he argued were fighting totalitarianism with totalitarianism. This was picked upon in his works 'Animal Farm' and '1984'.

Answer 3

Animal Farm is a classic work by George Orwell and a noted piece of literature, which, of course, may help the reader to catapult the imagination beyond the horizons of dogmatic adherence to idealistic or Utopian thoughts. It however, represents human characteristics in an analogy of animal instincts, but it really gives insight into the Russian Revolution of 1917. It also mimics the doomsday of a precipitated change, brought by a modicum of bureaucratic class called as Bolsheviks.
