Summary of Animal Farm by George Orwell
Animal Farm is a famous novel written by George Orwell. It is a political fable that uses farm animals to represent people and events from real history — especially the Russian Revolution of 1917.
The story takes place on Manor Farm, where the animals live under the control of Mr. Jones, a lazy and cruel farmer. One day, an old pig named Old Major gives a speech to inspire the animals to rebel and create a world where all animals are equal.
After Old Major dies, two pigs — Snowball and Napoleon — lead the rebellion. They succeed in driving away Mr. Jones and rename the farm Animal Farm. The animals create Seven Commandments to guide their new society, where everyone is supposed to work together and share equally.
At first, things go well. The animals work hard and believe in their dream of equality. But soon, Napoleon becomes greedy for power. He drives out Snowball and takes full control. The pigs start acting like humans — drinking alcohol, sleeping in beds, and walking on two legs.
By the end of the story, the pigs have become just like the humans they replaced. The famous line from the book says:
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
