Dictatorship in animal farm
During the novel, the pigs were the ones in charge of Animal Farm. They broke and changed the commandments to their own benefit. As the pigs took over the farm, and Napoleon’s dictatorship, they gave themselves special privileges as they thought they were superior to the other animals in the farm, however, the pigs never contributed to any of the farm's work since they gave all the work to the other animals which made the pigs fit into their stereotypical pig, as pigs are often described as lazy. Before the pigs took control of the farm, all of the animals on the farm had rebelled against their own farm owner in order to get rid of Mr.Jones who was their former dictator and tried to restore their lives in a more free/democratic way. As the animals revolution led by Snowball progressed, the pigs broke the laws, acted more superior to other animals and made the animals work harder. All of the animals were brainwashed this allowed the pigs to completely dominate the animals and the farm itself.
