Last sentence of the book was meaningful to me because last sentence has come with great turn around and it has metaphor in it. The sentence is “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” Metaphor in novel is that George Orwell expresses pig as a human. Especially, I like the part that says: “but already it was impossible to say which was which.” Because this part can contain many meanings such as the pigs’ appearances are same as human, their classes in the world like lower class or higher class and pig is having same intelligence as human. Usually, people are saying that the difference between human and animal is thinking ability. We think that animal cannot think but in this case, lower class has over their class and has become same group as a human. I think this passage also reveals symbol about power. Once someone gets power and uses it, then he or she wants to get more power but he or she does not want to give up the power. The reason why I think in this way is because Napoleon has pushed animals to death by using his power. Boxer had to die to maintain Napoleon’s power. So, Napoleon sent him to horse slaughterer. Napoleon is same as Stalin in Russian society. Stalin makes team with Germany; German is same as people in this story and Snowball is Trotsky who has pushed by Napoleon. By this sentence, I could make sure that power is the thing that cannot easily have given up by the one.
