Becoming the Enemy


Jean Genet, a French novelist and political activist once stated:

"If we behave like those on the other side, then we ARE the other side. Instead of changing the world, all we'll achieve is a reflection of the one we want to destroy."

—from The Balcony

Your task: 

1.) What does this quote mean to you?

2.) Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? 

3.) How do you think this applies to what we have read in Animal Farm? (hint: Think about the commandants, who is the enemy? Who are the pigs starting to act like?)
