The main characters in Animal Farm were animals, obviously, but they were more like real people than animals. This was probably done to show what Orwell thought about utopia. He obviously didn't think that utopia was possible or a good idea, but he showed this well through the animals.
Usually when people think about utopias, it is for people, but animals may have there version of utopia. Orwell addresses this throughout the book, showing how one animal's utopia may be another dystopia, like Snowball and Napoleon's different utopias. People do that also, with differing opinions keeping everyone from being in agreement. Orwell was saying, at least I think so, that you can't have utopia, because there will always be disagreements between everyone.
So, there you go. Orwell's use of animals in Animal Farm. Another blog done.
