That\u2019s because the book is an allegory for the history of the USSR, with most characters and events having real-life counterparts. This article first summarizes the story and then explains the inspirations behind the characters.<\/p><h2>Summary<\/h2><p>The story of &#8220;Animal Farm&#8221; begins when an old boar named <strong>Old Major<\/strong> calls all the animals on Mr. Jones&#8217;s farm to a meeting, where he shares his dream of a future where animals live happily without the oppression of humans. He urges them to <strong>revolt <\/strong> against Mr. Jones and teaches them the song <strong>\u201cBeasts of England.\u201d<\/strong> Shortly after, Old Major dies of old age, and his skull is displayed in the barn.<\/p><p>After Old Major\u2019s death, two pigs, <strong>Napoleon <\/strong> and <strong>Snowball<\/strong>, develop his ideas into a concept called <strong>Animalism<\/strong>. Three months later, the animals successfully revolt against the humans. The farm is renamed &#8220;Animal Farm&#8221;, and the <strong>Seven Commandments<\/strong> of Animalism are written on the barn wall, the most important being <strong>\u201cAll animals are equal.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><p>Although running the farm is tough at first, the animals work hard and are fairly successful. Soon, however, the <strong>pigs take over the management<\/strong> of the farm, claiming they are the smartest animals. They also keep all the milk and apples for themselves.<\/p><p>One day, Mr. Jones and his men try to retake the farm but fail. The event becomes known as the <strong>\u201cBattle of the Cowshed,\u201d<\/strong> and brave fighters, including Snowball, are awarded honors.<\/p><p>At one of the weekly meetings, Snowball presents a plan to build a <strong>windmill <\/strong> to improve the animals&#8217; lives. Napoleon opposes the idea and uses his dogs to <strong>chase Snowball off the farm<\/strong>. With his rival gone, Napoleon abolishes the animals\u2019 meetings and establishes a <strong>pig committee<\/strong>. Snowball is then branded a criminal and traitor.<\/p><p>Napoleon decides to build the windmill after all, claiming it was his idea in the first place. The pigs start <strong>trading with humans<\/strong>, move into the farmhouse, and secretly change one of the commandments to <strong>\u201cNo animal shall sleep in a bed <em>with sheets<\/em>.\u201d<\/strong> <strong>Squealer<\/strong>, the pig in charge of propaganda, convinces the other animals that it\u2019s always been this way.<\/p><p>During a harsh winter, the pigs sell the hens\u2019 eggs. When the <strong>hens rebel<\/strong>, they are starved into submission. Meanwhile, some animals are <strong>executed <\/strong> for supposedly conspiring with Snowball, and the song \u201cBeasts of England\u201d is banned. Another commandment, <strong>\u201cNo animal shall kill another animal,\u201d<\/strong> is amended to <strong><em>\u201cwithout cause.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Squealer once again convinces the animals that it\u2019s always been like this.<\/p><p><strong>Mr. Frederick<\/strong>, a neighboring farmer, <strong>blows up the newly built windmill<\/strong> after failed negotiations. Despite heavy losses, the farm celebrates the attack as a victory. The farm is declared a <strong>republic<\/strong>, and Napoleon is \u201celected\u201d as president.<\/p><p><strong>Boxer<\/strong>, the hardworking horse, gets injured while trying to finish the new windmill before his <strong>retirement<\/strong>. The pigs secretly sell him to a <strong>slaughterhouse<\/strong>, pretending he was taken to a <strong>hospital, <\/strong> where he died.<\/p><p>Years later, only a few animals who witnessed the revolution are still alive. The windmill is finally complete, but it hasn\u2019t made life easier for the animals. Instead, it\u2019s used for profit, and the animals are already building a <strong>second windmill<\/strong>. Despite everything, the animals still <strong>take pride<\/strong> in living on a farm run by animals.<\/p><p>One day, the animals are shocked to see the pigs walking <strong>on two legs<\/strong> and <strong>wearing clothes<\/strong>. They check the commandments on the barn wall and find that only one remains: <strong>\u201cAll animals are equal, but <em>some animals are more equal than others.<\/em>\u201d <\/strong>When the humans visit the animals&#8217; farm, the atmosphere at the card game is lively at first, until Napoleon and Pilkington play <strong>an ace of spades at the same time<\/strong>. As the animals watch through the window, they can <strong>no longer tell the difference between the pigs and the humans<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ff020c0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ff020c0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-039eb0d\" data-id=\"039eb0d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0456599 elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-13182 elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"0456599\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!--Banner Tag \/\/ Website: GRIN.COM \/\/ Adslot: gri_outstream (6695068) -->\r\n<div id='npm_6695068'><\/div>\r\n<script>ADNPM.cmd.push(function(){ADNPM.loadAd(6695068)});<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-28f98b7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"28f98b7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bbeb912\" data-id=\"bbeb912\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c10fed7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c10fed7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Key characters and their real-life counterparts<\/h2><p>Pigs = Soviet Bolsheviks:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Old Major = Karl Marx \/ Wladimir Lenin<\/strong><ul><li>Inspires the animals to revolt.
