The document provides an analytical summary of the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell. It summarizes that the main conflict occurs when the animals' desire for liberty and fairness is compromised by the consolidation of political power among the pigs. Originally, the animals overthrow their human oppressor Mr. Jones but fail to maintain their own power. Napoleon and the pigs gradually seize control and impose their authority over the farm, betraying the animals' original ideals and intentions until they become indistinguishable from humans. In the end, the animals watching the pigs socializing with humans realize they have been defeated.
