Old Major's vision forgotten from "summary" of Animal Farm by George Orwell
Old Major, the prized boar of Manor Farm, had a revolutionary vision that he shared with his fellow animals: overthrowing the oppressive human farmer and establishing a society where all animals were equal. Inspired by his stirring words, the animals rose up against their human oppressors and successfully drove them off the farm. However, as time passed and the pigs took control, the original ideals of Old Major's vision began to fade into obscurity. The pigs, led by Napoleon and Snowball, quickly grew corrupt and power-hungry, betraying the very principles they had once fought for. They manipulated the other animals, altered the commandments, and engaged in behaviors that were once forbidden. The once unified and harmonious animal society started to crumble under the weight of greed and deception. The pigs, who were supposed to be the caretakers of Old Major's vision, instead became the embodiment of everything he had warned against. The other animals, disillusioned and disheartened, found themselves oppressed once again, this time by their own kind. The memory of Old Major and his vision lingered like a faint echo in the minds of some of the animals, but it was overshadowed by the harsh reality of their current situation. The pigs had twisted the truth, rewritten history, and silenced any dissenting voices. Old Major's dream of a utopian society where all animals were equal had been distorted beyond recognition. In the end, the animals found themselves no better off than they were under the rule of the humans. The cycle of oppression and exploitation continued, with the pigs now enjoying the privileges once reserved for the human master. Old Major's vision, once a beacon of hope and liberation, had been forgotten, replaced by a regime of fear and manipulation.
