How Did George Orwell Create A Resurface In Animal Farm

Imagine working so hard to get rid of a problem only to have the same problem come back in a different way. This happens in the world very often. It is particularly prominent in the book Animal Farm when the animals rebel against Farmer Jones in an attempt to create a better life. But in the end the animals had the same problem they had with Farmer Jones resurface in the form of a pig named Napoleon.
