”Presently the tumult died down. The four pigs waited,trembling, with guilt written on every line of their countenance. Napoleon now called upon them to confess their crimes. Without any further prompting they confessed that they had been secretly in touch with Snowball ever since his expulsion, that they had collaborated with him in destroying the windmill, and that they had entered into an agreement with him to hand over Animal farm to Mr Frederick. They added that Snowball had privately admitted to them that he had been Jone’s secret agent years past. When they had finished their confession, the dogs promptly tore their throats out, and in a terrible voice Napoleon demanded whether any other animal had anything to confess.
The three hens who had been the ringleaders in the attempted rebellion over the eggs now came forward and stated that Snowball had appeared to them in a dream and incited them to disobey Napoleon’s orders. They, too were slaughtered. Then a goose came forward and confessed to having secreted six ears of corn during the last years’ harvest and eaten them in the night. Then a sheep confessed to having urinated in the drinking poo, urged to do this, so she said, by Snowball- and two other sheep confessed to having murdered and old ram, an especially devoted follower of Napoleon, by chasing him round and round a bonfire when he was suffering from a caugh. They were all slain on the spot. And so the tale of confessions and, executions went on, until there was a pile of corpse, lying before Napoleon’s feet.
When it was all over. the remaining animals, expect pigs and dogs, crept away in a body. They were shaken and miserable. They did not know which one was more shocking- the treachery of the animals who had leagued themselves with Snowball, or the cruel retribution they had just witnessed.”
Animal Farm and George Orwell, so you can recognise the above mentioned paragraphs. Of course I have no intention, whatsoever, to sneer the brave men and women who were obliged to confess the guilt and the crimes which they had never committed; on the contrary , I do homage to all of them, from ordinary people to the significant political figures who were in fact the heralds of ideal quests for their society.
My main point and intention of referring to the much acclaimed fiction of Animal Farm(written by George Orwell) is to reveal and reflect the real nature and identity of the Islamic regime and its greedy Mullahs who have been amazingly successful in controlling the masses and ruling over them for three decades. As I am going to continue this article in the second part to a wider and much more relevant extent, so I leave it here; but I would like to recommend the ” Animal Farm” as a must-read story which surely in this highly sensitive and of course prospective period, can be very enlightening, to all my compatriots, as this precious story is the identical suggestive of the Islamic revolution, Islamic regime and Mullahs. And above all, it is the comprehensive narrative of what the modest and patient Iranian people have been going through, through the thirty years of suppression and oppression.
