Dear Kevin,

Excellent. I have only given A+ three times in the 15 years I have been teaching because it is rare that a paper couldn't be improved in some way. I can't think of any way to improve this paper, so I'm up to four. Well Done!

Would you send me an electronic copy of this paper? I'd like to have it on file.

Grade: A+ (100)This from one

George Orwell's Animal Farm is a classic example of class conflict, involving the major concepts from both Karl Marx and Max Weber. These great thinkers often disagree on what ideal society looks like (and how close we can come to it) and the true nature of man. However, we are given a unique perspective into both worlds through two authoritarian societies -one under Jones and humanity, and another under Napoleon and the pigs as they come to resemble their human predecessors. In this way we are given the society Marx criticized and condemned, but also a revolutionary society which finds its way back to inequality-even employing many of the tactics of the social structure it overthrew

After the revolution the power structure on the farm is radically altered, and this is where the differences between Marx and Weber are illuminated. Marx's utopian dream is realized: society appears classless and equal, the means of production are socialized and the animals are free to work for their own benefit instead of the benefit of others. However, as we shall see, events come to take a more Weberian route--class conflict is inevitable, and although means of production are taken out of the equation society still becomes stratified
