What is the main story of the novel Animal Farm? What is the theme of its novel?

Animal Farm mainly tells the story of a group of farm animals successfully carrying out a "revolution", driving human owners out of the farm and establishing an equal animal society. However, animal leaders, clever pigs, finally usurped the fruits of the revolution and became more autocratic and totalitarian rulers than their human masters. As an allegorical novel, what the author really feels is that the so-called equality and freedom are limited, relative and fleeting, and there is no utopian era in the world.

As an allegorical novel, Animal Farm truly feels a group of animals with ideals and tries to break the old order. They should have rushed out of the cage but jumped into another trap. They are still deceived, enslaved and ruled. Inequality is the same result. The only difference is that human farms are managed by humans, while animal farms are managed by animals, that's all. The most terrible thing about animal farm is this sentence, which has been changed to only one commandment: all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. When there are high and low levels of "equality", the so-called equality is nothing but a lie that deceives others, and the so-called freedom has completely become a joke, and humble civilians can only struggle in silent suffering.

The greed, selfishness, cowardice, vanity and stupidity of animal characters in the novel can be clearly explained as the dark side of human nature. But the theme of the public is meekness but not rebellion, and silence seems to be the only way for them to survive. He revealed the tragedy of the animal farm revolution. After the oppressed rose from the revolution, due to the lack of a deep understanding of democracy and the legal system and the lack of a perfect power restriction system, personal dictatorship eventually led to a worse life before the revolution.

The world remains the same, and the totalitarian regime continues and even strengthens, just like the old major era at the beginning of the novel. I have never tried to find a solution for this totalitarian regime, nor have I preached any political ideas. I just showed readers the cycle of totalitarianism in the form of literature. There is no political propaganda in the novel, but it is more powerful than political propaganda and easier for readers to accept and resist. This is also his main contribution besides political fable literature.
