Sometimes words act as expert magicians. When they
hold an ordinary picture in front of your eyes and make you see a wholly
different image. This is eccentric, but you fail to accuse the words of
lying. They are all the same as you knew them before. So, where is the

Animal Farm written as a "Fairy Story" by an English writer, George Orwell, is the narration of violent political revolution of farm animals against the farmer who owns all. The characters in this story, in disguise of animals, were inspired by Russian revolution and each symbolizes an actual character in real world. Orwell as a democratic socialist was a critic of Joseph Stalin known as a dictator leader of the Soviet Government.
The element of symbol, which often expresses more than what it says, is very strong in Orwell's Anima Farm that indirectly goes beyond what limits the literary speech due to political restrictions.
As the similar version of Animal Farm we can mention an Iranian play which was written by Bijan Mofid, known as "The City of Tales" in which the author used various kinds of animals to represent real human characters symbolically in order to form his unique style of narration.
