Animal Farm: Entry 5

--What is the mood of this novel? Do you find this novel saddens you in any way? Why?
Like other books about the dystopian world, the mood of this book would be sad and depressed and despair. However, the mood at the very beginning is different. The book is full of hope and enthusiasm. At the very beginning, the animals are hopeful of overthrowing their tyrannical human master, and as they do, they become enthusiastic about working for themselves. Until here, the mood of the book is joyful. As Napoleon kicks out Snowball, the mood in Animal Farm suddenly changes. All the animals become skeptical about the rules, pigs who rule over other animals, and Napoleon, and the conflict arouses. Soon, Boxer is taken away to a slaughterhouse, and all the animals lose enthusiasm. The mood in this book changes into sadness, despair, depression. These moods didn’t sadden me, but it enrages me. Because of the greed of one man, or one pig, the mood of the farm changes suddenly from joy to sadness and despair.
