The animals' ignorance allows the pigs to take control from "summary" of Animal Farm by George Orwell by George Orwell
The animals on Manor Farm were not the most educated bunch. They were simple creatures, content with their daily routine of work and sustenance. They had no interest in the complexities of politics or power. This ignorance proved to be their downfall. When the pigs began to take control, the other animals did not question their authority. They did not understand the implications of the pigs' actions, nor did they see the signs of corruption and manipulation. The pigs, who were more intelligent and cunning, exploited this ignorance to their advantage. As the pigs consolidated their power, they made decisions that benefited themselves at the expense of the other animals. They altered the commandments to suit their own desires, took more than their fair share of food, and lived in luxury while the others toiled away. The animals, blinded by their ignorance and loyalty to the pigs, did not see the truth until it was too late. By then, the pigs had established a dictatorship, ruling over the farm with an iron fist. The animals had unwittingly handed over their freedom and agency to the pigs, all because they did not know any better. In the end, it was the animals' lack of knowledge and understanding that allowed the pigs to take control. Their innocence and naivety were exploited by those in power, leading to their own oppression and suffering. The pigs' manipulation thrived on the animals' ignorance, and in the end, it was their downfall.
