How does 'Animal Farm' explore the theme of power and corruption?
In "Animal Farm," George Orwell explores the theme of power and corruption through the gradual transformation of the farm's government. Initially, the farm animals unite under the false promise of equality but, as the pigs gain control, they become increasingly indistinguishable from the oppressive humans. The farm's descent into tyranny highlights Orwell's critique of how revolutions may result in the replacement of one form of totalitarianism with another, illustrating the potential for power to corrupt and betray revolutionary ideals.
