In what ways are the animals of Animal Farm worse off at the end than they were at the beginning? Please name as many examples as possible and...

It's unclear that they were really in such a bad situation
in the first place.  The worked for Jones, an alcoholic farmer, but they had pretty
reasonable lives.  They were then told how horrible their lives were, and how much
better they would be if they could free themselves from Jones and rule themselves.  What
really happened is that they got rid of one "bad" boss and created a power gap that was
filled with a truly bad dictator.  Napoleon (interesing name for a leader who once
promised a Republic to the people but who later became a dictator  --- read the story of
Beethoven's original dedication of the "Eroica" to Napoleon and his violent change of
the title when he saw what Napoleon was becoming) is a worse dictator than Jones ever
was.  He has more power, more control, a fierce "army," a great propaganda machine ---
none of which Jones had.  The possibility for true change, true "improvement" of the
animals' situations is MUCH bleaker than it was under Jones.  Worse, Napoleon walks like
the "man" he so despised at the beginning --- ironic, but not
surprising.

One dictator has replaced another.  Orwell saw
that this was the way it usually goes ....
