However, as the pigs assume leadership, the promise of a utopian society quickly begins to unravel.

Animal Farm by George Orwell is a powerful allegory that critiques the rise of totalitarian regimes, particularly focusing on the Russian Revolution and the subsequent rise of Soviet communism. Published in 1945, the novella exposes how revolutionary ideals can be manipulated by corrupt leadership, showing how the promise of equality can quickly devolve into oppression. Its portrayal of power, propaganda, and political betrayal resonated deeply in the context of World War II and the early Cold War. Orwell's work remains a timeless commentary on the dangers of unchecked authority and political manipulation.
