the pigs that turned into humans













I revisited the Animal Farm today after a few months. Nobody talk to me right now. 

When I read the last page & closed the book a thought ran through me: “Wow, this book really predicted the future. Orwell knew what he was doing.”

But then I stopped myself.

Yes, the themes of this book accurately embody today’s time. But no, it didn’t predict anything. George Orwell’s Animal Farm, published in 1945, does is not a wake-up call for a dystopian future. Rather, it is an embodiment of what was happening in 1945—the present setting for the book.

The truth simply is: Nothing has changed. 

If a person read Animal Farm in the year it was published & today in 2026, they’ll still find the symbolism accurately resonating with both the periods.

See? Nothing's changed.

Power is corruption and corruption is power. It was chilling all along the read to slowly see the ideas of the rebellion being forgotten.

But you just can’t blame the all-powerful government for the symbolism of this book.

 The story explores the of influence of leadership in each & every small case. My point is, even a simple leader such as a class rep can become as equally misguided by leadership’s principles as any seasoned political leader.

Leadership has an oddly corrupting influence...

From the very beginning of the rebellion, the pigs took an active part in organizing the animals and bringing about an awareness among them. From only the second chapter onwards, Snowball & Napoleon, the two prominent boars, took to themselves to bring about the rebellion. Their active part in the entire program was truly commendable. 

With their remarkable intelligence, they envisaged with the enslaved animals beautiful dreams of the promising future. They convinced everyone to join forces to bring about the rebellion. The pigs practically took charge of them after the old Major died.

And that is where things started to go wrong.

Watch me Overanalyze Mike Rogers

 !!HEAVY SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK " ENDLESS NIGHT " AHEAD!! I read on Pinterest one day: "Literary analysis is just a professional way of overthinking." Can't argue with that one. Of course, it doesn't apply to every analysis. But it definitely applies to the endless (pun intended) train of thought that arrives, right on time, in the middle of the night. You know the feeling—when you can't stop thinking about a specific thing a character said or did, and why they did it. Lately, that character for me is the beloved Mike Rogers from Agatha Christie’s masterpiece, Endless Night . I am currently re-reading this book for what feels like the 100th time, and the more I read it, the more fascinating Mike becomes. Now, the thing about me is that I don't—or simply can't—visualize characters physically. The color of their eyes, the shape of their face, the sharpness of their jaw—I can't picture those features at all. When I read a story, the only mental ...

  Speculating at 3 AM It is popularly known that 3 AM is the hour of the devil. Well, he's not the only one roaming empty halls at that hour. Somewhere on their bed there is an artist, in this case a writer, daydreaming (or night dreaming but awake?) about scenes for their upcoming works, analyzing  characters from their favorite books or shows for motivation, composing silly little poems in their head, creating the most stupid fan theories ever  or just lying wide awake thinking about nothing or everything at once. This blog exists because my brain refuses to shut up about books, writing, fictional characters, and fandom theories.  Since talking to myself has become a full-time hobby, I figured I might as well put it on the internet.  But is blogging dead in 2026? Not that I care, I'm used to being in dead fandoms ( like Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events or Carmen Sandiego...anyone?)  And anyways as the description of this blog clearly states...

My top 10 favorite Count Olaf disguises (ranked)

  Count Olaf: an evil man Is there something wrong with me if my comfort show literally has the word "unfortunate" in it? If you've never watched A Series of Unfortunate Events then you, dear Sir/Madam, have missed a masterpiece of drama, comedy, satire, literary fiction, dark humor and the best spy thriller there ever was. The most enchanting thing that keeps the series alive is the numerous disguises we see in every other episode of the main villain of the show Count Olaf. (beware children, he is a very evil man) He is introduced to us in the very first episode as the guardian of the newly orphaned Baudelaire children. But the children claim that they've never heard of him before from their parents. Nevertheless, the banker- Mr. Poe, takes the orphans to Count Olaf and gives a brief account of his life. It is then that we come to know, that the Count is actually a famous actor. Even though the Baudelaire children insist that they've never heard of him, Mr. Poe ...
