I. SubjectThe novel Animal Farm is about farm animals that go on strike. Old Major, the head pig, calls a meeting about a dream he had. The owner of Manor Farm, Mr Jones, was drunk and often mistreated them. The old major died three days after the meeting, leaving Napoleon and Snowball to fight for control of the farm. When the rebellion breaks out, the animals take books into the house and teach themselves to read and write. It was soon revealed that pigs were the most intelligent creatures on the farm. They renamed the farm Animal Farm. The humans tried to take over Animal Farm, but they fail. After the battle, Napoleon and Snowball continued to struggle for power. During a meeting during which the animals must vote on a windmill project, Napoleon calls his attack dogs and banishes Snowball. Napoleon dissolves the meetings and begins to spread propaganda that he is the most intelligent animal and therefore must make decisions. He began to make contact with the human world, which disturbed the other animals. The pigs began to monopolize more and more resources and claim that they deserved them since they ran the farm. Many years pass and many original animals die. While Napoleon plays cards with a human farmer, the animals spy on them. He discussed recent changes to the farm, the most significant being the return to the name Manor Farm. He and the farmer started arguing and the animals realized they couldn't distinguish between humans and pigs.II. ThemeThe theme of Animal Farm is the dangers of a naive working class.
