It tells a story of an animal revolution led by pigs in an English farm.In this farm, the animals, unable to bear the exploitation and oppression of the farm owner, rose up in rebellion, drove away the owner, and renamed the farm "Animal Farm". However, the situation of animal autonomy was not optimistic. The harmony, sharing, freedom, and equality that the animals initially expected did not truly materialize. Instead, due to the conflicts between the pigs who led the revolution over their respective rights and interests, internal contradictions were fostered and exacerbated, ultimately leading to bloody conflicts and the pigs who led the revolution began to split.Subsequently, one pig was declared a traitor, becoming an enemy of the revolution, and was expelled and falsely accused of various crimes. While another pig, relying on its established power and the support of the dogs, gained and expanded its leadership. With the concentration of power, this pig’s rule over the animals became increasingly harsh, even brutally killing other protesting pigs, ultimately becoming a cruel exploiter like the original farm owner. The name "Animal Farm" was also eventually abandoned.The author’s influence is immense and extends far beyond the literary world. Orwell’s creations in the novel, such as "Big Brother, " "Newspeak, " and "doublethink, " have all been included in English dictionaries.
