Animal Farm

&quote;Animal Farm&quote; by George Orwell is an allegorical novella that tells the story of a group of farm animals who overthrow their human farmer, Mr. Jones, in hopes of creating a society where all animals are equal, free, and happy. However, as the pigs take over leadership-particularly the cunning and manipulative Napoleon-the farm gradually becomes a dictatorship just as oppressive as the one they overthrew. The story serves as a powerful satire of totalitarian regimes, especially Stalinist Russia, highlighting themes of power, propaganda, corruption, and betrayal. The famous line &quote;All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others&quote; captures the central irony of the book.
