"Animal Farm" is a political allegory by George Orwell that satirizes the events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the subsequent rise of Stalinism. Set on a farm where the animals overthrow their human owner, the story follows the pigs, who lead the revolution and establish a new regime promising equality. However, as the pigs gain power, they become increasingly corrupt and tyrannical. The famous line, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others,” captures the betrayal of the initial ideals, highlighting the dangers of totalitarianism and the cyclical nature of power.
