- 1. Animal Farm, written by George Orwell and published in 1945, is a profound allegorical novella that critiques totalitarian regimes and explores themes of power, corruption, and the struggle for freedom. The narrative unfolds on a farm where the animals, inspired by the visionary pig Old Major, rebel against their oppressive human owner, Mr. Jones, seeking to create a society where all animals are equal and can prosper. As the pigs, particularly Napoleon and Snowball, assume leadership roles, the initial ideals of equality and fraternity begin to erode, leading to a new form of tyranny that mirrors the very oppression the animals sought to escape. Through the clever use of anthropomorphism, Orwell illustrates how power can corrupt and how ideologies can be twisted for personal gain. The famous maxim 'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others' encapsulates the tragic descent into hypocrisy and betrayal of the revolution's original purposes. Animal Farm serves as a timeless commentary on political dynamics and the cyclical nature of oppression, drawing parallels to the events of the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalinism.
