Post 4 Mood


What is the mood of this novel? Do you find this novel saddens you in any way? Why?


Animal Farm has several moods, in the beginning; the mood was revengeful, full of anger. The animals were trying to put an end to Mr. Jones, who was the owner of the Manor Farm. Mr. Jones was an alcoholic, who drank every night before he come to his farm, and always forget to feed his animals. He had no pity for his unfortunate animals. After the animals have revenged to Mr. Jones, for a moment, the mood was quiet, yet hard-working. The animals under the “smart” pigs seemed to work. They ate plenty of food and they seemed like they are enjoying their life, but shortly, their life was back to exhausting labor again. During the process of making the windmill, the animals were quite pressured with hard work they had to do. The animals had work after another with a goal to accomplish the windmill. They wanted to show it off to humans and obtain those electrical things the pigs promised (such as heating). Towards the end of the story, the mood was extremely sad. During the fight with Frederick and his followers, many animals were killed. Two geese, a cow, and three sheep were killed; many other animals were injured too. On the opposing to the sadness that the animals were going through, Squealer, one of the pig leaders, wanted to celebrate their victory. What was even more depressing was when Squealer sent Boxer, the loyal horse, to Horse Slaughter’s. The animals moaned for Boxer. It’s was unbelievable…
