Great read, a little challenging for me just because the raw representation of political oppression is so accurate, that it didn't excite me. It was as if I was reading an interesting history book, rather than symbolic fiction.
I also found it a great choice that the pigs turned out to be the worst of the animals, and the most resembling of humans, given that "pig" is also used to negatively describe policemen, another corps known for corrupted oppression.
Really glad that I finally read a full Orwell, excited to notice the ways it improved my literacy and linguistics!

Wenn Gelegenheit Diebe macht, und ein Versuch mit verzweifelter Hoffnung sich Freiheit zu erkämpfen in die falsche Richtung kippt und ein Spiegelbild der vorangegangenen Gegebenheiten erschafft.
Über eine Gesellschaft, die sich blind leiten lässt und einer Minorität die das schamlos ausnutzt. Über eine Gesellschaft, die alles glaubt, was sie ruhig schlafen lässt. Über eine Gesellschaft, die mit nichts als Stolz gefüttert wird und nicht erkennen will, dass diejenigen, die das Versprechen abgegeben haben, dass alle gleich sind auf ihrem Nacken leben.

if you put a frog in boiling water, he’ll jump out. if you put a frog in lukewarm water and slowly turn up the temperature, he’ll burn.
i have so many thoughts about this book and none of them are fitting together to make coherent sentences rn so here’s a bulleted list:
i have so many thoughts about this book and none of them are fitting together to make coherent sentences rn so here’s a bulleted list:
- all politicians are pigs
- keeping the populace illiterate allows the government to get away with anything
- so many people don’t ACTUALLY understand the differences between capitalism, socialism, and communism (hint: real communism has never happened)
- the correlation between character, intellect, and how often they talk 🤯
- the character who was constantly being like “i’ll just work harder.” very “pick yourself up by your bootstraps” and the fact that he’s the first one to get sent away.
anyways. everyone get ur hands off the wheel and go read this book RN
