There are many themes in Animal farm obviusly. The major ones are the perpetual cycle of life an example is that absolute power how it started with Man and ended with pigs but both did the same thing to the other animals. Another big one is a quote "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." This shows that George Orwell who used this quote in animal farm is against absolute power. He shows what he means by this quote alot in the book. Other ones are propaganda and the pigs taking little steps to absolute power.
