Animal Farm

Synopsis

Animal Farm depicts a group of anthropomorphic farm animals who wish to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Mr. Jones was the cruel farmer who owned Manor Farm. Having had enough hardships, Old Major, a visionary elder pig, rouses the farm animals to rebel against Jones. Under the leadership of the pigs, the animals revolted against Jones, and took control of the farm, renaming it “Animal Farm”, and establishing their own governance based on the principle that “all animals are equal.”

Initially, the animals enjoy success and camaraderie. But as the plot thickens, the pigs’ dream takes a dark turn. Napoleon the pig’s thirst for power grows, and the once-united animal farm begins to fracture. With clever propaganda and cunning tactics, he manipulates the other animals, twisting the ideals of their revolution.

Based on the story written by George Orwell and published in 1945, is an allegory that transpires on Mr. Jones' farm, in which specific characters and situations stand for other characters and situations, so as to make a point about them. The story reflects the events that happened during the Russian revolution of 1917 and the early years of the Soviet Union, as well as in any society in the past and present.
