Animal Farm

"Animal Farm" by George Orwell: A Tale of Revolution, Power, and Betrayal
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
On a quiet farm, animals rebel against their human masters, dreaming of equality and freedom. Inspired by noble ideals, they establish a new order—but their revolution quickly devolves into a dark tale of power and corruption. Orwell’s Animal Farm is a sharp political allegory reflecting the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalinism, showing how revolutions can be hijacked by those hungry for control.
As the pigs, led by Napoleon, seize power, the animals’ dream is distorted. Slogans like "Napoleon is always right" reveal how language and loyalty are weaponized to suppress dissent. Orwell illustrates how regimes rewrite history, betray founding principles, and mirror the very oppressors they replaced.
Beyond politics, Animal Farm explores ambition, loyalty, and the ease with which people are manipulated. The animals’ blind trust leads to betrayal, as the once-promising movement becomes indistinguishable from the tyranny it opposed. Orwell’s chilling maxim captures this hypocrisy: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
A timeless classic, Animal Farm warns of the fragility of freedom and the corrupting force of power. Orwell’s allegory remains a powerful reminder to question authority and reflect on the true meaning of justice and equality.
