   1. The first climax happens when the animals realise that there has been no improvement in their  living conditions and status after the so called Rebellion: "somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer-except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs."

   2. The second climax happens when the animals see a pig walking on its hind legs:"it was a pig walking on his hind legs." They now realise that they are different from the pigs.

   3. The third climax happens when the pigs begin to carry whips in their hands and begin to tyrannize over the other animals. The climax peaks when Benjamin reads out the only remaining commandment on the wall: "ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS."

   4.The fourth and final climax occurs when "the creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."
