In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, one part of the cardinal rule is the statement,
“All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others”.
This statement seems to not make any sense. However, on closer examination, it gets clear that Orwell points out a political truth. The government in the novel claims that everyone is equal but it has never treated everyone equally. It is the concept of equality stated in this paradox that is opposite to the common belief of equality.
