Rebellion against Napoleon fails from "summary" of Animal Farm by George Orwell
The animals on the farm believed in the idea of rebellion against the tyrannical rule of Farmer Jones. They saw hope in the vision of Old Major, who inspired them to rise up against their human oppressors. With great enthusiasm and determination, they overthrew Jones and took control of the farm. Under the leadership of Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer, the animals worked hard to build a new society based on equality and justice. However, as time passed, cracks began to show in the unity of the animals. Napoleon, driven by his thirst for power, gradually manipulated the other animals and consolidated his control over the farm. He used propaganda, fear, and violence to suppress any dissent or opposition. Snowball, the idealistic and visionary pig, was chased off the farm by Napoleon's vicious dogs, leaving Napoleon as the sole leader. The once-principled ideals of Animalism were twisted and corrupted by Napoleon and his loyal followers. The Seven Commandments, which were meant to guide the animals in their pursuit of freedom and equality, were gradually altered to serve Napoleon's interests. The pigs, who were supposed to be equal to the other animals, began to enjoy special privileges and luxuries that were denied to the rest of the animals. Despite the growing discontent and resentment among the animals, Napoleon's reign of terror continued unabated. Any animal that dared to speak out against him or question his authority was met with swift and brutal punishment. The animals, who had once dreamed of a better life, now lived in fear and oppression under Napoleon's dictatorship. In the end, the rebellion against Napoleon failed. The animals, who had fought so hard for their freedom, found themselves in a situation that was even worse than before. They realized too late that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Napoleon's betrayal of their ideals and his ruthless suppression of dissent showed them the harsh reality of tyranny. The animals were left with a bitter lesson learned: that true freedom and equality can only be achieved through unwavering vigilance and a steadfast commitment to justice.
