These three procedures developed the teachings of the old Major into a complete system of
thought, to which they gave the name of animalism. Several nights a week, after Mr. Jones fell
asleep, they had secret meetings in the barn. and he expounded the principles of Animalism to
others. At first they were met with a lot of stupidity and apathy. Some of the animals spoke of
the duty of loyalty to Mr. Jones, whom they referred to as "Master", or he made elementary
comments such as "Mr. Jones feeds us. If he was gone, we would starve. Others asked
questions like 'Why should we care what happens after we are dead? "O" ", and the pigs had
great difficulty making them see that this was contrary to the spirit of animalism. The stupidest
questions of all were asked about Mollie, the white mare. The first question she asked
Snowball was, "Will there still be sugar after the Rebellion?" "No," Snowball said firmly. “We
have no way to produce sugar on this farm. Also, you don't need sugar. You will have all the
oats and hay you want. "And will I still be allowed to wear ribbons on my mane?" Mollie asked.
“Comrade,” Snowball said, “those ribbons you are so devoted to are the insignia of slavery.
You can't. Do you understand that freedom is worth more than tapes? "Mollie agreed, but
didn't seem very convinced. The pigs had an even tougher fight to counter the lies of Moses,
the domesticated raven. Moses, who was Mr. Jones's special pet, was a spy and a gossip, but
he was also a smart taller

¿Qué punto está tratando de hacer el autor con respecto a “la

estupidez y la apatía” que encontraron los cerdos?
“Todos los animales son iguales, pero algunos son más iguales que otros”. Este es el lema
principal de “Rebelión en la granja”, novela publicada en 1945 por George Orwell. Un libro que
te atrapa por su lenguaje sencillo y sus personajes intrigantes, vista desde una forma animal.
Satírica, socialismo, corrupción y gobiernos sedientos de poder. Definitivamente un libro no
convencional que te atrapa en la primera lectura.

Inicia a partir de aquella noche que hubo la reunión con el viejo cerdo, las cosas cambiaron, los
animales más inteligentes se inquietaron y comentaban las palabras sabías del cerdo. Los
cerdos, considerados los más inteligentes empezaron a tener actividades secretas todas las
noches, luego que el señor Jones se iba a dormir.

No sabían cuándo ocurriría la rebelión pronosticada por el Viejo Mayor, si llegarían a verla,
pero igual era mejor empezar a prepararse. La tarea de educar a los otros animales la tomaron
los cerdos por su inteligencia, los tres cerdos que llevaron la batuta en esta tarea se llaman
Napoleón, Bola de Nieve y Chillón.

Napoleón era un cerdo de raza berkshire, de aspecto feroz, distante, de pocas palabras y
acostumbrado a salirse con la suya. Bola de Nieve era un cochino más alegre y vivaz, con más
facilidad de palabra, pero con un temperamento más débil.

El tercero Chillón, un verraco macizo, de ojos vivaces y que sabía defender su posición, de los
tres era el más conocido por los otros animales de la granja.
En sus reuniones secretas los tres cerdos elaboraron con la información que les dijo el Viejo
Mayor un sistema de pensamiento con el nombre de “animalismo”, Este sistema se lo
mostraban al resto de los animales en las noches mientras el señor Jones dormía.

Al principio tuvieron que luchar con la apatía de los otros animales y a la resistencia al cambio.
Así como, invalidar las historias sobre el Monte Carmelo, el lugar donde iban los animales al
morir según las historias que narraba el cuervo Moisés, espía del señor Jones.

La muerte de Viejo Mayor, que dejó a un jabalí (Napoleón) y cerdo joven (Bola de Nieve) para
competir por la posición de liderazgo. La reunión de Viejo Mayor cambia la visión de la vida de
los animales, pero Orwell tiene cuidado de mencionar que no todos los animales comprenden
la idea de él de una sociedad utópica. Todos los animales pueden aprender "Bestias de
Inglaterra", pero solo aquellos que sean suficientemente listos pueden asumir
verdaderamente el espíritu revolucionario y la tarea de prepararse para la Rebelión. Los cerdos
se vuelven los organizadores muy rápidamente. Es importante destacar dos cosas sobre su
ascenso al poder. Primero, los cerdos no siempre han estado a cargo de los otros animales,
aunque más adelante en el libro, cuando los cerdos están tan completamente endemoniados,
Orwell les dificulta a los animales, y al lector, recordar eso. Pero son superiores por naturaleza,
o al menos por tradición, cuando se trata de inteligencia. En segundo lugar, las intenciones de
los cerdos no son necesariamente malas al principio. Asumen la tarea de la organización
debido a su supuesta superioridad en lugar de un deseo de tomar el control por sí mismos. Así
como Bóxer es más adecuado para el trabajo manual duro, los cerdos toman su lugar para el
trabajo organizativo en la división del trabajo de los animales.

Bola de Nieve, Napoleón y Squealer organizan las ideas de Viejo Mayor en la teoría del
animalismo, que puede representar cualquier "sistema completo de pensamiento" pero que
pretende evocar el comunismo soviético. Si Bola de Nieve y Napoleón representan a los
organizadores del comunismo, entonces los otros cerdos representan a los de la
intelectualidad que se involucraron en la causa revolucionaria.

A lo largo de la novela, Orwell enfatiza la falta de inteligencia de los otros animales, pero nunca
podemos estar seguros de que la ignorancia y el analfabetismo de los animales se deba a la
falta de inteligencia en lugar de un entorno opresivo, generación tras generación, que ha
hecho que su estado y la habilidad parece natural.

Al igual que cualquier teoría nueva, el Animalismo se encuentra con la duda y la oposición. La
objeción más notable viene de Mollie, pues, aunque los animales comunes también dudan del
Animalismo, Mollie está ya consentida por el tratamiento especial que recibió bajo la regla de
Jones (que refleja la regla del zar). Ella también, a pesar de ser superficial e inconstante, tiene
la inteligencia y los recursos para salir de la Granja Animal, que los otros animales carecen.

en conclusión, la presentación de la “estupidez”, según bola de nieve, tiene lugar en revolución

es completamente entendible pero las preguntas que hacen los demás animales, no tienen
lugar, dada la situación en la que están. NO existe mas humanos y ese fue el propósito de la
revolución, la libertad, por lo que deberían ser apáticos con las acciones de la raza humana y
no hacer preguntas tontas.
What point is the author trying to make regarding
the “stupidity and apathy” that the pigs
encountered?
"All animals are the same, but some are more equal than others." This is
the main motto of "Farm Rebellion", a novel published in 1945 by George
Orwell. A book that captivates you for its simple language and its
intriguing characters, seen from an animal form. Satirical, socialism,
corruption and governments thirsty for power. Definitely an
unconventional book that catches you on the first reading.
It begins from that night when there was the meeting with the old pig,
things changed, the most intelligent animals became restless and
commented on the wise words of the pig. The pigs, referred to as the
most intelligent, began to have secret activities every night, after the
Jones went to sleep.
They did not know when the rebellion predicted by the Old Major would
occur, if they would ever see it, but it was still better to start preparing.
The task of educating the other animals was taken up by the pigs for their
intelligence, the three pigs that took the lead in this task are called
Napoleon, Snowball and Screamer.
Napoleon was a Berkshire pig, fierce-looking, distant, of few words, and
used to getting his way. Snowball was a more cheerful and lively pig, more
easily spoken, but with a weaker temper.
The third Screech, a massive boar, with lively eyes and who knew how to
defend his position, of the three was the best known to the other animals
on the farm.
In their secret meetings the three pigs elaborated with the information
that the Old Major told them a system of thought with the name of
"animalism". This system was shown to the rest of the animals at night
while Mr. Jones slept.
At first they had to struggle with the apathy of other animals and
resistance to change. As well as, invalidate the stories about Mount
Carmel, the place where the animals went when they died according to
the stories told by the raven Moses, Mr. Jones's spy.
The death of Old Major, which left a wild boar (Napoleon) and young pig
(Snowball) to compete for the leadership position. Old Major's reunion
changes the view of animal life, but Orwell is careful to mention that not
all animals understand his idea of a utopian society. All animals can learn
"Beasts of England", but only those who are clever enough can truly take
on the revolutionary spirit and the task of preparing for the Rebellion. Pigs
become organizers very quickly. Two things are important to note about
his rise to power. First, the pigs have not always been in charge of the
other animals, although later in the book, when the pigs are so completely
demonized, Orwell makes it difficult for the animals, and the reader, to
remember that. But they are superior by nature, or at least by tradition,
when it comes to intelligence. Second, the pigs' intentions are not
necessarily bad at first. They take on the task of organizing because of
their supposed superiority rather than a desire to take control for
themselves. Just as Boxers are better suited for hard manual labor, pigs
take their place for organizational work in the division of labor for animals.
Snowball, Napoleon and Squealer organize Old Major's ideas into the
theory of animalism, which can represent any "complete system of
thought" but which is intended to evoke Soviet communism. If Snowball
and Napoleon represent the organizers of communism, then the other
pigs represent those of the intelligentsia who got involved in the
revolutionary cause.
Throughout the novel, Orwell emphasizes the lack of intelligence of the
other animals, but we can never be sure that the ignorance and illiteracy
of the animals is due to a lack of intelligence rather than an oppressive
environment, generation after generation. , which has made his status and
ability seem natural.
Like any new theory, Animalism meets doubt and opposition. The most
notable objection comes from Mollie, for, although common animals
doubt Animalism, Mollie is already spoiled by the special treatment she
received under the Jones rule (which reflects the Tsar's rule). She too,
despite being shallow and fickle, has the intelligence and resources to get
out of the Animal Farm, which the other animals lack.
In conclusion, the presentation of "stupidity", according to Snowball, that
takes place in revolution is completely understandable but the questions
asked by the other animals have no place, given the situation they are in.
There are NO more humans and that was the purpose of the revolution,
freedom, so they must be apathetic with it, the actions of the human race
and ask no foolish questions.
