it was so frustrating to see how the pigs basically gaslit the rest of the animals and how they managed to break every single one of their seven commandments.

something that really stuck with me was that it didn’t matter what the pigs did because they always got away with it. even near the end when they stood up on two legs, it all went away by the sheep saying, “four legs good, two legs better”.

i will be thinking about the “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” quote for days on end.
