In Animal Farm, irony abounds when
the animals begin breaking the rules that they themselves set for their society. The
first rule, "Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy" is clearly broken when Napoleon
meets with the farmers. Similarly, alchohol is consumed (rule number 5) and he has
ordered the deaths of other animals (rule number 6). Later, some of the rules are
amended to accommodate the leaders' breaking of the rules. Ironically, only the pigs
are allowed such luxuries, and all the other animals are meant to abide by the original
orders. This irony is directly related to the theme of Animal Farm
because it represents the hypocrisy that was inherent in Stalinism--the rules
are not for everyone, only for the masses so that control can be
maintained.
