Animal Farm Allegory Analysis
The Orchard’s New Rules
When the orchard’s owner stopped repairing the fence, the animals met beneath the oldest apple tree. Mara, a clever magpie, spoke first. “We gather the fruit, mend the paths, and keep watch, but the owner takes nearly every basket. If we share the work and the harvest fairly, the orchard could feed everyone.” The animals agreed to manage the orchard together. They painted a rule on a board: “Every animal has an equal voice.” At first, meetings were lively. A patient donkey named Ellis kept careful records, and a flock of sheep repeated the new rule so no one would forget it. Soon Mara and the other magpies began making plans without calling meetings. They said their skill with tools made them best suited to decide. When Ellis asked why the others had not been consulted, Mara replied, “Someone has to act quickly.” The magpies kept the keys to the storehouse and began taking the ripest apples as a reward for their extra work. One evening, Ellis noticed that the rule on the board had changed. It now read: “Every animal has an equal voice, but some voices must guide the rest.” The sheep repeated the sentence exactly. A young rabbit asked whether the change had been approved. No one answered. In the next meeting, the magpies stood at the front while the other animals listened. The orchard still belonged to the animals, but not all of them had the same power.
