George Orwell's Animal Farm begins with Old Major, a prize-winning boar, announcing to the rest of the farm that he wishes to have a meeting in the barn in the middle of the night, where he speaks about a dream he had the night before. In his dream, he envisioned a world where all animals can live in harmony with no more humans forcing them to work. After three days, Old Major dies, inspiring Snowball and Napoleon to create the Seven Commandments, a set of guidelines for the other animals to follow. They chase away Mr. Jones and begin living their lives without human interaction. At first, Animal Farm was peaceful, and everyone got along. However, as time progresses, Napoleon and Snowball begin arguing about the future they want for the farm. During the meeting about the electricity-generating windmill, Napoleon has his nine trained dogs chase Snowball away from the farm, leaving Napoleon the main leader that makes all decisions for the animals.
Napoleon decides to have the animals build the windmill. After it gets destroyed, he blames Snowball. From then on, he tries to paint Snowball as the villian if anything bad happens. He begins living like a human, sleeping in a bed, drinking whisky, and trading goods with farmers. Although this is against the commandments, he justifies himself and says his actions will benefit Animal Farm. Napoleon remains the leader for years, and the pigs become more like human beings. Eventually, the Seven Commandments turn to one motto: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
