Animal Farm suspense

The way George Orwell built suspense in this book is by making the reader wander what the pigs will do. This started when Napoleon took power with dogs I thought would have been raised for good. Orwell introduced the dogs as minor characters at the beginning, but they turned to be very important to the story. The suspense of the pigs went all the way to the end of the book when the last line reads, "They looked from man to pig, and pig to man, but couldn't tell them apart." This shows that the corruption of the pigs has brought it back to the beginning of the story by saying the pigs have turned into rulers like the farmer was. Orwell also builds suspense by dragging some things out such as the hard work of one of the horses, who was devoted to the pigs, leading to him not being able to do any more work.
