<span>One needs to look now farther than the first paragraph to realize that Vonnegut's tale is laced with irony and satire.  The strongest hint is when he mentions that there are over 100 ammendments in the Constitution.  All these ammendments are designed to make society "perfect."  Later on George and his wife Hazel are discussing how George's handicaps, the bags of birdshot tied to his legs, are terribly inconvenient and painful.  Hazel suggests George break a law and remove the bags since he isn't competing against anyone at home.  George replies that if he broke the law so would others and they'd end up right back in the "Dark Ages".  These examples depict there is no such thing as a perfect society.  Equality (in looks, strength, intelligence, etc.) does not bring about perfection and competition is essential for a thriving economy.  In every society there are winners and losers.  There is no way around that.</span>

what is one theme in animal farm? Provide evidence from the text and discuss how it supports your answer
soldi70 [24.7K]

A theme is a main idea or underlying meaning of a literary piece that emerges from the treatment the author gives to a subject.

In <em>Animal Farm</em> there are many themes. One of them, is <u>totalitarianism</u>. The message that Orwell tries to convey throughout the story is that regardless of the type, all totalitarian regimes are fundamentally the same, because they are founded on the oppression of the lower classes and of fthe individual as well.

Napoleon's rise to power is the clearest example of this theme. He and the pigs run <em>Animal Farm</em> claiming that they advocate for animals' rights against evil humans, but the truth is that they will maintain their power by any means necessary, as any other sort of totalitarian regime.
