Animal Farm Q1.:)

What is the major theme of this novel? Why is this theme important?

Honestly for me, I found the theme for the novel, Aniaml Farm hard to understand. To actually find the true theme, I looked at the whole book and the characters more in depth. I thought about about "what" each animals ( characters) were a symbol of. It came down to one main point, the theme is changed by the way you look at the story. It can be read as an innocent novel with animals while at the same time it can be read as a novel about the misusage of political power. In all society, all countries, there are leaders who uses their power for good, to do right for the people while there are leaders who abuses the fact they have the power.
This theme is important for us teenagers because we need to realize that when we have the opportunity to have power, we should use it for good.
