Explanation:

Animal Farm is an allegorical narrative written by George Orwell. It was first published in England on August 17, 1945. The book is about a rebellion of farm animals against their human farmer in order to create a society where both animals and humans can live equally, happy and free. After rebellion gets betrayed, the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before, being under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon.

The entire book is actually a metaphor for the Russian revolution. We could actually draw a parallel between animalism and communism. Both of them were supposed to fix issues such as equality between animals and people and a balanced society where there wouldn’t be rich or poor. The narrative is, metaphorically, about the Soviet Union and how Stalin came to power. Every character represents a person or a group of people like the working class from that time for example. Character of Old Major represents, for example, Vladimir Lenin, a Communist Russian revolutionary whose economic policies were based on the philosophy of Karl Marx.
