On Mr. Jones’s farm, the animals rise up against him and introduce a system of self-governance led by the pigs, the most intelligent of the farm’s animals. However, it is not long before the previously oppressed become the new oppressors, adopting all the atrocious methods of the previous regime. Thus, the promised utopia becomes an unliveable dystopia.
Animal Farm, published in 1945 after the end of World War II and at the dawn of the Cold War, is arguably George Orwell’s most famous work. A fable about the consequences of a flawed political revolution, it explores how the vision of a society of fairness and commonality is derailed and transformed into a nightmarish authoritarian regime that sees enemies everywhere.
