First, a tyrant appears to be pleasant and gracious at the initial stages of his dominance to get the sympathy of the people.
Plato's description of a tyrant is clearly manifested in the government ruled by Napoleon. The plot of the story can be attributed to different political ideologies, one of which was Plato's idea on tyranny. Old Major affirmed that the root cause of the farm animals' infelicitous existence was the tyranny of man. Moreover, Old Major said that there is no animal in England that was free, and none of them should escape the cruel knife in the end. They were forced to work like slaves up to the last atom of their strength, and once their usefulness had come to an end, they were slaughtered. Old Major told them his extraordinary dream in which he saw his approaching death, and pointed out that their lives as farm animals were miserable, laborious, and short.
They gathered outside the big barn on the farm. Old Major, a reverential, time-honored pig, called all the animals together for a meeting which took place after Mr. Jones, a capable farmer, stumbling into bed after a night of excessive whisky drinking. Set on an English Farm named Manor Farm, this fable-like story concerns the misery that the animals faced in the hands of human beings. – Richard W.Animal Farm is a savage satire on communist revolution written by George Orwell.
