Scene Summary and Context

In this scene, the animals on Manor Farm are beginning to realize the extent of the pigs' increasing control over their lives. The pigs, having taken charge after the rebellion, justify their authority with rhetoric about equality and animal welfare, but signs of corruption are visible. The setting depicts a gathering where Napoleon, the pig leader, consolidates power, dismissing dissent and manipulating the other animals. A short phrase from the speech, 'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others,' encapsulates the emerging social hierarchy and the distortion of original ideals. This scene reflects broader social issues, such as the rise of authoritarian regimes and the abuse of political power for personal gain, illustrating how ideals can be corrupted over time for those in power.
