The commandment "All animals are equal" is not being followed in the first five chapters of the novel. One example is that Napoleon was treated better than all the other animals and constantly mistreated everyone. Another example is that the pigs relaxed and did nothing all day while the other animals had to work. The pigs were treated like royalty in comparison to the other animals.
Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” analysis will also help to define the reasons for breaking laws. Dr. King comes under attack for violating the laws of the land. His critics condemn the demonstration that King is involved in since they violate Birmingham’s laws and cause unrest.
