المستخلص: In this paper the researcher aims to explore the symbolical structure of the novel; Animal Farm, a twentieth century novel written by the renowned English novelist, George Orwell. It is an in-depth analysis and discussion of the various symbols employed by the author and their significance and representations in the real occurrences and characters of the Russian Revolution. The structure of the novel can be studied and analyzed from two different perspectives or levels. On the surface it is a simple story about different kinds of animals such as pigs, cows, horses, sheep, hens, donkeys etc. which live on a specific farm called Manor Farm owned by Mr Jones, a bourgeois man. On the deep level it is a complex, daring and dashing narrative on the ups, falls and downs of the Russian Revolution taking place in 1917 under the leadership of Trotsky, Lenin and Stalin. Orwell does not directly and explicitly narrate the episodes and consequences of the Bolshevik Revolution for personal and political reasons. Instead he takes advantage of the known literary device, symbolism, which he masterfully manipulates so as to convey his intentions and messages. Every animal in the novel stands for a real character in the events of the Russian Revolution. Furthermore, incidents happen in the story represent real episodes in the revolution. George Orwell shows a great skill in managing, arranging and developing the plot of the story in such a subtle way that readers enjoy its humor and irony as well as appreciate its intellectual, political and social weight and thoughts. In fact the novel is a stark political satire on despotic and totalitarian regimes which manipulate rhetoric and exploit the masses in various ways for political agendas and power pursuits. This is exactly what happens in the case of the Russian Revolution. Karl Marx visualizes a society where there are no class privileges, exploitation, poverty and where all people are equal in every respect. He establishes a new political and social system known as communism. When the Russian Revolution succeeded in 1917, all the principles and values of communism put down by Marx started to be violated and a new worse dictatorship is in its way to be formed. Russia became one of the worst dictatorships in the world under the rule of Stalin.
