George Orwell has lots of symbolism here, not to mention the gluttonious pig. Just guess what does it portrays.

Sex and family have been turned from things of pleasure in people's lives to means of control over them.

A truly extraordinary book, in my opinion the greatest ever effort of a truly extraordinary writer.
Orwell manages to raise the very real issues of poverty and social class - and of society's pecking order - yet does it in a warm, funny and engaging way which feels as far away from a lecture as could be.
