Old Major's dream from "summary" of Animal Farm (Annotated) by George Orwell
Old Major's dream was to create a utopian world where animals could live without the oppressive rule of humans. He believed that animals should be able to work together to create an ideal society where no one is exploited or oppressed.- Old Major was a wise and respected pig on the farm known for his prophetic dreams. He envisioned a future of animal harmony where animals of all species would be liberated from their burdensome human masters, living in perfect harmony.
- This utopian vision was one which few other animals held faith in, but Old Major saw hope and revolution in it with each member of the Animal Farm working together despite their different backgrounds.
- After his death, this dream sparked a revolutionary spirit within the animals to stand up against their oppressors. They banded together, inspired by Old Major's dream, to rise up against human rule and fight for freedom.
- In his dream, he foretold the animals taking back control of the farm for themselves, creating a society without humans that had the same freedoms and rights as them to make their own decisions.
- Despite this corruption, the legacy of Old Major's dream endures. He taught the animals about the potential within themselves that transcended human domination and built a framework for a better way of life.
- Eventually, they were able to create an independent and autonomous nation on the farm, governed by the rules the animals created for themselves. Unfortunately, some of the powerful members of the farm began to take advantage of their power over others.
