When the animals of Manor Farm overthrow their human master, they envision a new era of freedom and equality, where every creature shares in the farm’s prosperity. However, as the pigs assume leadership, the promise of a utopian society quickly begins to unravel. Napoleon, a power-hungry leader, manipulates the ideals of the revolution, twisting them to suit his own agenda. With each passing day, the animals realize that their battle for justice has taken a darker turn, revealing the fragility of dreams in the face of corruption.
Animal Farm by George Orwell is a powerful allegory that critiques the rise of totalitarian regimes, particularly focusing on the Russian Revolution and the subsequent rise of Soviet communism. Published in 1945, the novella exposes how revolutionary ideals can be manipulated by corrupt leadership, showing how the promise of equality can quickly devolve into oppression. Its portrayal of power, propaganda, and political betrayal resonated deeply in the context of World War II and the early Cold War. Orwell’s work remains a timeless commentary on the dangers of unchecked authority and political manipulation.
