When I realized that Animal Farm was a metaphor for the Russian Revolution I also realized it was a good one, extreme revolutionaries, who would do anything for power, truly are animals.
The worst of the animals, Napolean, is related to the abominabal leader, Joseph Stalin. This relation is brilliant in so many ways. Both wanted to expand the glory of their countries through expansion of territory, propaganda, secret police, anything at all. When reading the book an extreme feeling of hatred arises toward the animals like Napolean.
After realizing the book is a metaophor for the russian revolution, the same feelings are felt for men like Stalin, who sacrificed anything for so called "utopias".
