The animals of Manor Farm drive out their owner and take the place for themselves, agreeing on seven commandments that begin with the principle that all animals are equal. The pigs take charge of interpreting those commandments, and within a few seasons the wording has quietly changed.

Orwell called it a fairy story, and its plainness is the point: a short allegory of the Russian Revolution that can be read in an evening and applied to almost any movement that replaces one ruling class with another.

How a revolution’s founding principles get reworded a little at a time until they mean their opposite.
Why control of the written record, in this case a painted wall, decides what a community believes it agreed to.
The role of Squealer’s rhetoric: how plausible explanation substitutes for evidence.
Why Boxer’s loyalty and capacity for work make him useful to the pigs rather than safe from them.
How an outside enemy, real or invented, is used to excuse hardship at home.
What the allegory maps onto in Soviet history, and why it reads just as well without that key.
