In my opinion, Major's speech was concentrated only on negative aspects of life on the farm. He didn't have vision, how everything should look like "after Jones", only knew that changes are needed. It wasn't so important at that moment, but these lacks later turned up to be dangerous.

I think that massacres during war, even including children are more understandable (although not justificable), than taking women for one night and then killing them, in order to take revenge on the first, unfaithful wife. We know many stories about wars, battles etc. , but not about man killing...

I think, Idun, your misunderstanding me is because I used wrong word here (but it was in inverted commas). Yes, Greek mythology was censored, but with Arabian and Celtic myths is different. We know them written by authors of culture very different from that of their origin. It's not the question...

I think that absolute equality can be established only by force and it requires priviliges, so opposition of equality. Furthermore, why it should be seen as the most important value and have priority over others? Many values are contradictory to each other, like absolute equality and absolute...

My favourite mythology is unquestionably Biblia and it doesn't dimish my respect for it as the Holy Book. To be honest, I don't think that it's fair competition. I mean that we know well the Greek mythology, and Arabian or Celtic through the medium of European authors- it's already a bit...

"As you like it"by William Shakespeare

If we look precisely at the details, Lenin wasn't great person with high ideals, innocent of crimes. If we look precisely at the details, tsar of Russia was killed, not exiled like the owner of farm. If we look precisely at the details, the Boltshewik Revolution didn't overthrow the tsar, but...

Well, it can be said that Napoleon is Robespierre, Snowball- Danton and dogs- the sankiulots or the jacobins. I think that we could also look for Major. What is more, in the book Major died to soon to be Lenin, rather Marx. And what about counterparts for the donkey, the horse (my favourite) and...

Firstly, in my opinion, characters of "Animal Farm" don't represent specific historical figure, but rather the scheme of every revolution which end up eating its own children. Of course, similarities with Russian Revolution can be noticed, but also with French. Furthermore, I agree that...

"Pride and prejudice" by Jane Austen The last one was because Flaubert is a frenchauthor.

Futhermore, some adaptations are used for reasons of propaganda. Example can be "Catch 22" by Joseph Heller. The film was made during war in Vietnam and because of it is just a anti-war manifesto. They left scenes as story of Major Major's father or Milo's deals. What is more, when Milo attacks...
