Scene Summary and Context
Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, depicts a group of farm animals who overthrow their human owner to establish their own society. The farm becomes a symbol of revolutionary movements and political systems. As the story progresses, the animals' society begins to mirror the flaws and corruption of the very systems they aimed to escape. Key characters like Napoleon and Snowball represent leaders with different visions, while objects like the flag and commandments symbolize ideals that are gradually altered. The narrative critically examines themes of power, manipulation, and betrayal through allegorical storytelling. The phrase 'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others' encapsulates the central critique of inequality and hypocrisy in political regimes.
