Animal Farm & The Road to Wigan Pier

The grand theme of Animal Farm has to do with the capacity for ordinary individuals to continue to believe in a revolution that has been utterly betrayed. Orwell attempts to reveal how those in power-Napoleon and his fellow pigs-pervert the democratic promise of the revolution. Animal Farm known at the beginning and the end of the novel as the Manor Farm symbolizes Russia and the Soviet Union under Communist Party rule. The Road to Wigan Pier is a brilliant and bitter polemic that has lost none of its political impact over time. His graphically unforgettable descriptions of social injustice slum housing mining conditions squalor hunger and growing unemployment are written with unblinking honesty fury and great humanity. Wigan Pier Nightspot was a night club on the southern bank of the Canal.
