Pigs become oppressors from "summary" of Animal Farm by George Orwell
The pigs, who were once oppressed by the humans on Manor Farm, had led a successful rebellion against their human masters. They had preached equality among all animals, declaring that all animals were equal. However, as time passed, the pigs began to acquire more power and privilege compared to the other animals on the farm. They started to justify their special treatment by claiming that they were the most intelligent and deserving of the animals. Slowly but steadily, the pigs started to indulge in behaviors that mirrored those of their former human oppressors. They began to live in the farmhouse, sleep in beds, and even start trading with the humans. Despite the other animals' concerns and objections, the pigs continued to consolidate their power and control over the farm. The pigs, led by Napoleon, implemented rules and policies that favored them and maintained their status as the ruling class on the farm. They used propaganda and manipulation to convince the other animals that everything they did was for the greater good of the farm. The pigs even resorted to violence and intimidation to suppress any dissent or rebellion from the other animals. Over time, the pigs transformed from the oppressed to the oppressors. They became tyrannical rulers who exploited and oppressed the other animals for their own benefit. The once noble ideals of equality and freedom were forgotten, as the pigs prioritized their own interests above all else. In the end, the pigs had become the very thing they had once fought against, becoming the new oppressors on Animal Farm.
