The document provides background information on George Orwell's animal farm including a summary of the plot. It discusses how the animals on Manor Farm, led by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, revolt against the human farmer Mr. Jones and establish Animal Farm running it based on seven commandments of equality. However, the pigs soon become corrupt and Napoleon becomes a dictator as the commandments are broken and the pigs become indistinguishable from humans. The theme is about the relationship between power and corruption and can be seen as a criticism of the failures of the Russian Revolution by the author.
