Question

How would you describe the status of the seven commandments of the principles of animalism at the end of the story?

Option 1: At the end of the story, they are nonexistent and not the laws of the farm.
Option 2: At the end of the story, they are unchanged and still the laws of the farm.
Option 3: At the end of the story, they have been extensively revised and improved.
Option 4: At the end of the story, they have been slightly amended but remain the laws of the farm.

Answer 1

The seven commandments of animalism are nonexistent by the end of the story, as they have been completely subverted and replaced by the pigs for their gain, Option 1 accurately represents this.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of the story, Option 1 is the most accurate in describing the status of the seven commandments of the principles of animalism. The original commandments have been completely subverted by the pigs who now rule the farm, particularly by the pig named Napoleon. At the beginning, the commandments were designed to uphold equality among the animals and to establish the foundation for the animalist principles that would ensure a fair and just society. However, by the end of the story, the pigs have manipulated these laws for their own gain, gradually altering or blatantly ignoring them, resulting in a society that is the complete opposite of the original utopian vision. This is symbolically represented by the commandments being replaced with a single phrase that reflects their betrayal: 'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.'
