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.
I feel it is more about the human tendendcy toward authoritarianism. Like initially after throwing off the humans there are many improvements but they get slowly degraded. Actually maybe kinda about nationalism and such. Some see the issues and others blindly following the movement.
