George Orwell's work of fiction Animal Farm' was written as a political satire to expose the totalitarian regime in the Soviet Union during the Stalin era. The appropriation of power is the central theme of the allegorical fable. This article dwells into various dimensions discussed by the writer in his novel and uses a post-modernist approach to unearth the hidden meanings and patterns, flaws in the system, and the power of people's strength in uprooting the dictatorship. This is more relevant to the fact that the Russian revolution claimed its successes in the united strength of proletariats, and in a short span of the regime's history, the power was concentrated in the single leadership. The world in the twenty-first century has witnessed the rise of populism at one hand and new forms of authoritarian leadership, in essence, Orwell's novel stands significant to date. The objective of this article is to present a link between literary criticism and the discussion of politics through fiction.
