Animal Farm In the book, Animal Farm written by George Orwell, the animals raise up in rebellion against their human masters in hope for better life. However, the quote by Lord Acton, a British historian, describes it best: "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." This is basically what happens. The pigs realize their intellectual superiority, and use it to their advantage. When this happens, they began to take advantage of the entire society of animals. The pigs of the story sacrifice the good of the whole just for the benefit and pleasure of their selves. To begin with, the story starts when the animals in Manor Farm stage a rebellion against the humans after a rousing speech from Major, a very respected boar in the farm. They chase their human master, Mr. Jones, away and begin to run the farm themselves. At first, all goes well. With Mr. Jones gone, the animals believe they now own the farm collectively, and that they are all equal. The Seven Commandments are soon set up to act as the governing laws for the animals. Among the commandments are "no animal shall kill another animal", "all animals are equal" and "whatever goes upon napoleon, animals, farm, pigs, animal, commandments, snowball, shall, legs, two, changed, out, one, commandment, another, soon, power, own, mr, laws, jones, equal, better, advantage, take, story, starts, society, rule, over, killed, kill, good, goes, first, example
