The way Animal Farm is written is so clever because the atmosphere progressively goes from light to dark and anxious. You can’t tell exactly when it shifts but you just feel it.the same way people back then lived it.
This book just shows how important education is because of how it quickly becomes clear that the more educated the animals are, the better they could articulate their thoughts and at times, manipulate

The way they progressively take on « human habits » such as becoming literate, developing war strategies, taking up arms, and even creating artillery storage, and finally having medals and commemorations, shows how they are slowly turning into what they hate.
