The story follows a group of farm animals who are tired of being mistreated by their human owner, Mr. Jones.
Led by the pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, the animals rebel and take control of the farm, dreaming of a life where everyone is equal.
But Napoleon gradually becomes obsessed with power and drives Snowball away. He then changes the farm’s rules, uses fear and propaganda to control the animals, and gives himself special privileges.
The animals slowly realize that their revolution has replaced one cruel ruler with another. In the end, Napoleon becomes just as oppressive as the humans they originally fought against, showing how power can corrupt even a movement built on equality.
