Their disunity leads them to fail to achieve their set goals and leads to others’ discrimination within the community.

By reading the entire novel, one can clearly understand the meaning of what the author intended to state, where his use of language, comparison strategy, and the use of words with hidden meanings portrays the author’s prowess and excellence. Therefore, the Animal farm novel remains one of the best satirical novels ever written, which shows the political ideology and the misuse of power in the current society.
