#4 Mood

Q: What is the mood of this novel? Do you find this novel saddens you in any way? Why?

I find this novel greatly disappointing. When Old Major gave a speech before he died, I thought the pigs seem to be trustworthy and honest. I realized that the fact they wanted to be powerful. The pigs were being selfish and disobey about equality with animals. They take the milk and puppies for explaining they are important and be better in the pig’s care, however, the real intention is the greed and selfishness that cause them to do. They controlled animals by using persuading them. For example, I would have felt disappointed when they got my money because they needed it. I also felt unpleasant when Napoleon kicked out Snowball and becoming the single ruler. I wished the debate would’ve end when either Napoleon or Snowball accepts other’s opinion. The climax didn’t make me feel happy. As the story goes on, the pigs do things that disappointed me more.




Also, some scenes that followed the mood were ironic. After three weeks of Snowball’s expulsion, Napoleon changed his plan to Snowball’s plan. I questioned, “Why did Napoleon changed his plan? If he did not disagree utterly about Snowball’s plan, why did Napoleon disagreed and wanted to kick Snowball out so badly?” These were quite the opposite. Squealer states that Snowball was a criminal. Also, there was a part when it was the storm that blew down the windmill; Napoleon said that Snowball destroyed it. I had lots of questions about the ironic situations that can’t be answered.Yes, I find this novel sad without understanding the real answers that I questioned above. I found this novel very sad I wanted to stop reading it. Many ironic situations were difficult to answer. As the story develops until the end, the mood was the point where it made me feel down. Overall, the mood of irony and disappointment was the same at the end.
