Animal Farm by George Orwell is an allegorical and dystopian novel that reflects the Russian Revolution. In Animal Farm, the animals of Manor Farm rebel against their irresponsible and cruel leader, Farmer Jones, and run him off the farm. Next, the animals attempt to form a government in which "all animals are equal" (18), which is the concept of "animalism." But it fails, and it ends up returning to where only one class prospers and the others suffer; the pigs reign and live without work and grow fat (87), while the rest of the animals work without eating almost anything. This all parallels the Russian Revolution, the peasants cause an uprising and overthrow Tsar Nicholas II, and communism is created. But then Stalin takes over and everything goes back to the way it was before, probably worse.
