Animal Farm By George Orwell: Literature Guide

by Kristen Bowers

Animal Farm is a political allegory based on the Bolshevik Revolution of Russia and Joseph Stalin. The story begins with a group of barnyard animals who scare off their human master in order to create a self-governing society of their own. As the story continues, the more intelligent animals undermine the society and form a dictatorship. Through their leadership, life on the farm becomes even more harsh and callous than it had been under their human master.
