My biggest complaint was how thin the allegory was. Like, Orwell didn’t have to use animal farms at all, it read like a history lesson for most parts. I felt between chapter 3 to chapter 8 were mostly just boring and pigs Doing a power capture slowly. Did chapter 3 to 8 help create the impact of chapter 9 and 10? Absolutely. Could they have been done better? I think so, it didn’t have to be read like a history lesson.

    However thin the allegory was for you, you still live in a country where most people do not understand it.

          I was surprised you know I am an Indian. Yeah true almost no one understands it, but also almost no one has read it. I don’t think our education system has the guts to teach animal farm, cause Orwell is warning against exactly what our government is doing. Also I don’t think it’s hard to understand, Orwell is pretty direct in warning against authoritarianism

            It is a warning against whatever governments do worldwide. It is not limited to India, and the worst cases are the big three: China, the US, and Russia. Basically kleptocraties with only fig leaf democracy.
