George Orwells's short novel, "Animal Farm", can be seen as an historical analysis of the causes and failures or communism. It can also be seen as a good story that aims to prove that human nature and diversity prevents people from being equal and happy. It portrays leadership corruption in communism is a flaw in revolution.
The book tells a tragic story of how the tired and oppressed farm animals tried to rebel against Mr Jones, the farmer, and drive him out of the farm. They then attempted to rule the farm themselves, with the pigs, who were the brightest and laziest animals of them farm, being their leaders. Originally, there were 2 pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, who were the leaders of the farm. As these two were always at loggerheads, they could not get along and Snowball was finally driven out by fierce dogs which Napoleon had reared secretly. The rest of the story depicts how the greedy and manipulative pigs took advantage of the less intelligent animals and by manipulating the farm rules to their advantage, got everything they wanted, while the other animals suffered. Life for the animals where no different from the time when Mr Jones was still their "ruler".
