George Orwell's Animal Farm is a political satire of a
totalitarian society ruled by a mighty dictatorship, in all
probability an allegory for the events surrounding the Russian
Revolution of 1917. The animals of "Manor Farm"
overthrow their human master after a long history of
mistreatment. Led by the pigs, the farm animals continue to
do their work, only with more pride, knowing that they are
working for themselves, as opposed to working for humans.
Little by little, the pigs become dominant, gaining more
power and advantage over the other animals, so much so

but the hope and pride which he gave the other animals does
not die. Under the leadership of the pigs, the most intelligent
of the animals, they rebel against their human master
managing to overthrow him. After the rebellion, under the
direction of Napoleon, the most outspoken pig, and
Snowball, the most eloquent pig, the animals continue to
work the farm successfully. As with all societies, the animals
have laws which must be obeyed. Their laws stated that
animals shall never become like humans; cruel and
manipulative. They shall not wear clothing nor sleep in beds.
Most importantly, they are to respect one another's equality
and killing another animal is strictly forbidden. Meanwhile,
the pigs as leaders are taking bigger food rations for
themselves justifying their behavior as something necessary
for the "brains" of their animal society. At this point we begin
