MY LECTURE NOTES FROM CHAPTER 2

 

  intelligent animals have “new outlook on life” (9)

  invigorated by Old Major’s speech

  secret activity, duty to prepare

 

  pigs “cleverest of the animals” (9)

clever – might not be a compliment, suggests tricky

Snowball- associated with Trotsky

Napoleon- associated with Stalin, brutal dictator

allusion to Napoleon Bonaparte

 

Squealer- Pravda, Government Propaganda Department

 

Fox News – propaganda news for Donald Trump

 

The novel can be read as an allegory of the Russian Revolution, 1917

 

  “complete system of thought” Animalism

distillation of Old Major’s ideas, simplified for the animals

 

o   Boxer – true believer

 

o   Moses – Biblical name, Raven

symbolism - black like clergy, Mr. Jones “especial pet” (10)

Sugarcandy Mountain, heaven for animals (10-11)

reassuring the animals that a better life is waiting for them in heaven

 

  recall Marx's quotation about religion

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness.

**Students have this quotation already.**

 

  Boxer and Clover “most faithful disciples” (11)

disciple – religious, follows a religious teacher

 

 

religious government – theocracy

In Canada, we have freedom to belief what we want.

 

  Mollie in the farmhouse (14) -protective of the smaller animals, motherly

 

  Mr. Jones weakened, rebellion more easily achieved

 

  animals hungry- most basic need

 

Victor Maslow - “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need”

Put on overhead and discuss if you are familiar with it.

 

You've got to have something to eat and a little love in your life before you can hold still for any damn body's sermon on how to behave. -Billie Holiday
