GYATT dang! The last sentence has so much aura “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig again: but already it was impossible to say which was which.”
Honestly though I thought that the storytelling was so explicit, like whenever the pigs adopted a new and significantly more totalitarian change, Orwell made it painfully obvious. I'm not gonna lie, the ending read like a movie so I might've just missed it but I swear the change would be followed by some story telling of the change and how it changed the power dynamics but the change itself is symbolic of the power dynamics change. Maybe Orwell is just a big fan of explicit meaning but that in itself made the book seem less of a classic but like a guidebook on what not to do when you rule. Like I get that it is a guidebook on what not to do when you rule but like it's like a manual, a non-fiction piece, when it should be fiction, and somewhat entertaining while also inspiring thought.
