Spearheaded by pigs, a group of animals in Mr Jones’ Manor Farm rise up
in rebellion, aspiring for a life without human control and injustice.
However, the ideals of a society that enjoys freedom, equality, and
happiness veer to a new form of oppression that is perpetrated by some
animals against their barnyard fellow animals. Napoleon, the pig,
becomes a tyrant, successfully using propaganda to make the other
animals toil more and eat less, and reducing the initial Seven
Revolutionary Commandments to a single slogan: “All animals are equal,
but some animals are more equal than others.”
Published in 1945,
Animal Farm is a political satire for which George Orwell uses farm
animals as characters. The allegory hints to the Russian revolution of
1917 and the ensuing one-party rule in the Soviet Union. As Lord Acton,
the 19thcentury British historian puts it, “power tends to corrupt, and
absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
