Animal Farm is the story of how some stable animals managed to make the Manor Farm, run by farmer Joe, a paradise on earth and establish the Animal Farm. In his last speech, the precursor and ideologist of the rebellion, the pig Major, pointed out that a different farm was possible, a farm where relations of subordination were history, where exploitation by men did not exist and the animals were owners of his own work. After his death, and in an urgent environment of famine due to Joe's neglect, the animals rebel and manage to get rid of human authority, managing the farm in an assembly manner under the commandment that "All animals are equal." .
