Animals overthrow human farmers from "summary" of Animal Farm by George Orwell
Once the animals had successfully driven Mr. Jones from the farm, they found themselves faced with a new challenge - the task of running the farm themselves. At first, they were filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment at their newfound freedom. However, as time passed, they began to realize that freedom came with its own set of responsibilities. The pigs, who were the most intelligent animals on the farm, took it upon themselves to lead the others. They claimed that they were the brains of the operation and that they alone knew how to make the farm prosper. At first, the other animals went along with this arrangement, believing that the pigs had their best interests at heart. But as the pigs began to assert more and more control over the farm, the animals started to feel uneasy. They noticed that the pigs were living in luxury while the rest of them toiled away in the fields. They also saw that the pigs were making decisions that seemed to benefit only themselves, rather than the greater good of the farm. As time went on, the pigs became more and more like the humans they had ousted. They began walking on two legs, wearing clothes, and even carrying whips. The other animals were horrified by this transformation, but by then it was too late. The pigs had consolidated their power and were now ruling over the farm with an iron fist. In the end, the animals realized that they had simply traded one oppressor for another. They had overthrown the human farmers in the hopes of creating a better life for themselves, only to find that power corrupts, no matter who holds it. The lesson of Animal Farm is a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked power and the importance of remaining vigilant against tyranny.
