My last point is the use of the food rations. Initially, the animals work together, and there’s a collective spirit surrounding their efforts to produce food. They are motivated by the vision of abundance for all, free from human exploitation. However, as the pigs start to manipulate the rations, they justify their own increased portions by claiming that they need more nutrition due to their "superior" abilities and responsibilities. This directly contrasts with the initial promise of shared abundance, showcasing how the ruling class distorts the reality of the situation to maintain their power and privilege. The other animals, confused and misled, accept these changes despite their own deprivation, demonstrating how easily freedom can be undermined when the populace turns a blind eye to the encroaching inequality. Orwell reminds us that vigilance and critical thinking are necessary to preserve freedom, as complacency can lead to the very oppression they sought to escape.

Initially, the animals on the farm work together with a collective spirit, motivated by a vision of abundance free from human exploitation. However, as the pigs begin to manipulate food rations, they justify their increased portions by claiming they need more nutrition due to their "superior" abilities and responsibilities. This contradicts the promise of shared abundance and illustrates how the ruling class distorts reality to maintain power. The other animals, confused and misled, accept these changes despite their own deprivation, highlighting how easily freedom can be undermined when complacency takes over. Orwell cautions that vigilance and critical thinking are essential to preserving freedom, as inaction can lead to the very oppression they sought to escape.
