An analysis of George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' as a representation of the corruption of the revolution by its leaders and of the rise and fall of Stalinism. We begin with an analysis of Britain's reaction to Stalinism, and the celebration of Soviet achievements. Orwell's reaction to the support for Stalin (whom he labelled as a 'disgusting murderer temporarily on our side') is explored. The narrator also looks at Orwell's inspiration for the title and setting of the novel and the difficulties he faced getting it published. We also explore the conflict between East and West that resulted in the Cold War, just as Orwell had predicted in 'Animal Farm'.
