From the Paper:

"George Orwell in his novel Animal Farm uses the sort of characters and structure that would be familiar in ancient Greece in the stories of Aesop. Aesop's fables used animals as a way of commenting on human behavior and to express ideas about society, morality, and George Orwell does the same thing in his fable about the development of a totalitarian society in the farmyard and the way such a society is allowed to develop because those who might have stopped it fail to take action."
