Animal Farm by George Orwell is a story about a group of farm animals who rebel against their human owner, hoping to create a society where everyone is equal and free. At first, things go well under the leadership of the pigs, especially Napoleon and Snowball. However, over time, Napoleon becomes power-hungry and turns into a dictator, making life even worse than before. The pigs start acting just like the humans they overthrew, proving that power can corrupt anyone. The book is an allegory for the Russian Revolution and a warning about how leaders can manipulate and betray their followers.
