Scene Summary and Context Guide
In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the animals overthrow their human owner in hopes of establishing a society where all animals are equal. However, as the story progresses, the pigs gain power and begin to manipulate the other animals, revealing themes of corruption and absolute power. The narrative highlights how those in control often justify their actions through rhetoric and propaganda, leading to betrayal of original ideals. A notable quote from the novel states, 'Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.' This scene exemplifies the gradual erosion of equality and the rise of tyranny, illustrating how corruption can infiltrate even the most idealistic revolutions. Orwell uses allegory and satire to critique political systems and warn against the corrupting influence of power.
