Animal Farm

A detailed Summary of Animal Farm

In the story Animal Farm, we learn about what happened in history through a

comical fable. It is through this story that we also learn the differences between the

proletariat, represented by the animals in the farm, and the bourgeoisie, represented by

the humans running the animals in the farm. The first chapter in Animal Farm gives us a

picture of animal life on the farm, and how horrible their situations were through a speech

given by the major, a prized white boar in the story. The major is well respected and

serves the role of a well respected, and powerful leader. He successfully captures the

animal's attention through his song, and his mottos. It is through song, mottos, and a

constant reminder of how animals are abused, that he inflames their hearts, and inspires

them to prepare for a revolution which he believed would happen soon.

In the major's speech, he brings out the horrible conditions and problems the

animals face daily. Animals slave away all day, and humans take them for granted. "We

are given so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies." Says the major. After long

hours of slaving away in the farms, they are fed so little, only enou

the hearts of mothers, who fear for their children's future and well- being. His old age,

needs of the humans. The major also makes a point of how "No animal in England knows

This way no one will assume total control, and they could live in freedom. The major

strong, clever or simple, we are all brothers. No animal must ever kill any other animal.
