What is the climax of this novel? What happen? How do the events of this novel make you feel?

I think the climax of this novel is at the very end of the novella. It says that the other animals could not identify which one between Napoleon and man. I thought this was very intriguing because the pig has finally become one of the humans as it was approaching to be. This is the ultimately ironic part of the novella as the rebellion ends resulting with worse conditions. It is ironic because the rebellion initially began with the idea of an ideal world for the animals: earning what they deserve. Therefore, the animals chased Mr. Jones out of the farm and built the Animal Farm. However, there was no difference as it shows at the end here because the wise pig, Napoleon has become another “human.” This even made me feel sick because of the fact that we have infinite greed. We, as in our nature, will never stop desiring and wanting things. I think the ultimate goal of Eric Blaire in this novel was to eventually show that humans are capable of doing anything to get what they want. Thus, he used pigs to exemplify the greediness of humans as pigs continuously desire of eating and being lazy. This final event saddens me for this fact.
