Animal Farm Climax

"It was a pig walking on his hind legs... He carried a whip in his tropper." - Pg. 131-132


I think the climax of Animal Farm is when the pigs come out of the house on two legs, wearing clothes and carrying whips. The pigs had come up with the Seven Commandments, and yet, it is they who break them in the end. They were the upper class in this society, with all the power, wealth and luxury, while the rest of the animals were the peasants, who lived on meager provisions. From that point on, the rest of the book's mood had changed. The way Mr. Orwell writes it, there is no hope for the animals. Again, I think the author is trying to say that no matter how much we try to strive for equality, we will, someday, have corrupt people taking over and turning the utopia into dystopia.
