Blessed Be the Tie That Binds

Blessed be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.

Before our Father’s throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one
Our comforts and our cares.

We share each other’s woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.

This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day.

From sorrow, toil and pain,
And sin, we shall be free,
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.

Orwell’s use of an allegory to portray communism in Soviet Russia allows the reader to comprehend what happened in a simple way. It develops the themes power, deceit, dreams, foolishness, violence, and blind following by using animals in place of people. The pigs represent the leaders and the other farm animals represent the citizens of Russia at the time and how they dealt with the corrupt communist nation.

The theme of corruption is still relevant today because there is still corrupt governments around the world, for example, the North Korean dictatorship and communist China. The pigs began as equals who represented the people, and turned into cruel leaders and authority with no limit. Even in local governments, school systems, and work places it is necessary to spot corruption and unfairness. The theme of violence is relevant today in light of police brutality. Just like Boxer was set to be killed instead of retired, people today are murdered unfairly.
