Most literature books are written to address particular issues and conflicts in society.

Just like many Literature writers, George Orwell, an English Novelist, was a great writer who wrote many books, some of his most famous books being; Coming up of air, Homage to catatonia and Animal farm.
Considering his book, the animal farm, George Orwell covers a vast spectrum of ideologies enhanced by his excellent mastery of the English language. He, among many other themes, covered the leadership of the time, corruption deception, among many others (Dickstein, 2007). The novel is symbolic of the Russian revolution and highlights the major conflict in the development of communism policies and corruption. The novel evaluates the major issue of governance and leadership while examining the question of power management in enhancing equity. Through symbolism, the various animals have been used to portray the various characters of various leaders while thus helping advance the central theme of the book, which is also the main conflict, leadership and corruption.
The underlying reasons for conflict were power and how much of the power would be given to the leaders to ensure that the leaders remain and serve the interests of their people. The conflict was actually to determine how the people who purported to serve the people but instead used their leadership positions to enrich themselves would be gotten out of power or legal actions taken over them. A remedy to the conflict is reached when the animals’ positions change after Napoleon has overthrown the enemies. The dispute is resolved through retaliation after the animals, the pigs and the people exchange leadership roles. The conflict is resolved through power struggle and revenge in which those overpowered stepped down.
