 PLOT

 Introduction: The novel begins with the animals on Manor Farm, led by the pigs,
rebelling against their human farmer, Mr. Jones. After a violent uprising, they
succeed in taking over the farm and establish a new order based on the
principles of Animalism.
 Rising Action: The animals work hard to build their new society, but the pigs, led
by Napoleon and Snowball, begin to assert their dominance over the other
animals. The rivalry between the two pigs escalates, and Snowball is eventually
chased off the farm by Napoleon's loyalists. Napoleon consolidates power and
begins to dismantle the principles of Animalism, establishing himself as a
dictator. The pigs also establish trade relations with neighboring farms, engaging
in business transactions that enrich themselves but harm the other animals.
 PLOT

Climax:
 The climax of the novel comes when Napoleon orders the dogs to attack
and execute several animals who have spoken out against him, including Boxer,
the loyal and hardworking horse who had become a symbol of the revolution. This
act of brutality marks the point of no return, and the other animals realize that their
hopes of creating a fair and equal society have been completely betrayed.
Falling Action: The animals begin to rebel against Napoleon's tyranny, but his
secret police, the dogs, brutally suppress any dissent. The pigs continue to amass
power and wealth, while the other animals are forced to work harder and suffer in
increasingly dire conditions.
 PLOT

 Resolution: The novel ends with the pigs and humans playing cards
together, symbolizing the complete transformation of the pigs into the
human oppressors they had originally rebelled against. The other
animals, who had hoped for a better life under their own rule, look on
in despair and realize that their revolution has failed. The novel's
resolution highlights the dangers of totalitarianism and the importance
of vigilance in protecting democratic values
 POINT OF VIEW

 Third Person, omniscient (knows everything) narrator.

 THEMES
 Corruption- the pigs takes over the leadership of Animal Farm after the
rebellion. As pigs gain more wealth and power over time, they change the
rules of Animalism to suit their own desires and to maintain their control of
the farm.
 Exploitation –understanding that literacy offers power, the pigs make sure
that none of the animals except their own young learn how to read.
 THEMES

 Deception – Napoleon and other pigs create elaborate lies to cover

their actions. Squealer uses propaganda to convince the animals that
they will do well, when in fact, their lives get worse as the month and
year pass.
 Idealism– the animals embrace the ideals of Animalism and the equality
and sharing this political philosophy where they must be all equal which
shows the ideal world.
 Apathy – Benjamin the donkey possess the ability to see and
understand what is happening disabled the belief that action of any kind
will not create change and is, therefore, not worthwhile.
 2. Lift three memorable lines or descriptions in the novel.

 1. "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than
others." This line, spoken by the ruling pigs in Animal Farm, highlights
the hypocrisy and corruption of the pigs' leadership, who claim to uphold
the principles of equality but ultimately become as oppressive as the
human farmers they overthrew.
 2. "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to
pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say
which was which.“ This line, which appears in the final chapter of the
book, captures the novel's bleak message about the corrupting influence
of power.
 2. Lift three memorable lines or descriptions in the novel.

 2.It suggests that the pigs, who have become indistinguishable from the
human oppressors they once overthrew, have betrayed the ideals of the
animal revolution and left the other animals in a state of disillusionment
and confusion.
 3. "Four legs good, two legs bad." This slogan, repeated by the
animals throughout the early part of the book, encapsulates the simple,
binary thinking that underlies the animal rebellion. Although the slogan is
later changed by the pigs to "Four legs good, two legs better," its original
simplicity and purity serve as a reminder of the idealism that initially
motivated the animal revolution.
