520 _aAnimal Farm" is a political allegory that satirizes the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the subsequent Soviet Union. The story is set on a farm where the animals, led by the pigs, rebel against their human farmer, Mr. Jones, and establish their own government based on the idea that all animals are equal. Initially, the rebellion is a success, and the animals enjoy a brief period of freedom and prosperity. However, the pigs, especially Napoleon and Snowball, gradually take control and establish themselves as the ruling class. They adopt the slogan "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others," highlighting the hypocrisy and corruption of their leadership. As the pigs become indistinguishable from the humans they overthrew, the other animals realize the betrayal of their ideals. The story illustrates how power can corrupt and how revolutions can be co-opted by those seeking their own interests. In the end, the pigs fully align themselves with the humans, and the once-revolutionary principles are abandoned. The novel serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked power and the potential for corruption in political movements.
