Animal Farm depicts a group of farm animals who overthrow their human farmer in a bid to establish equality and justice. The narrative mirrors the events of the Russian Revolution, highlighting themes of power, corruption, and propaganda. The animals' initial hope turns to disillusionment as the pigs, led by Napoleon, assume control, manipulating language and rewriting history to maintain their authority. The phrase 'all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others' encapsulates the betrayal of revolutionary ideals. The text employs techniques such as allegory and irony to critique totalitarian regimes. Words like 'commandments' and 'rules' are repeatedly altered, illustrating the manipulation of truth. The story's tone shifts from optimistic to oppressive, reflecting the corrupting influence of power. Understanding these elements provides insight into how Orwell critiques political tyranny through allegorical storytelling.
