One of the simplest things humanly possible is to imagine a perfect world, a utopia to be exact, but actually accomplishing this task is exactly the opposite. Animal Farm is a remarkably insightful novel written by George Orwell in 1945 that is an allegory and satire of the Russian Revolution. Old Major, as well as all the animals that live on the farm, appreciate freedom. However, Old Major's vision of revolution is based on his values ​​of equality and virtue, while the animals who have achieved freedom, value supremacy and survival. They all share a common value of freedom because they desire to be free from human control. Old Major values ​​impartiality as he wants everyone on the farm to be treated as equals, but what happens after the revolution is that a new hierarchical system is created with pigs replacing humans. The animals also appreciate survival because instead of following the high merits that the old Major had imagined, doing everything in the right way, without violence and also avoiding becoming corrupt as humans have become. They have decided to do whatever it takes to survive, even if it means going against their beliefs such as engaging in a trade that was once strictly prohibited. shared between Old Major's vision and the current situation within the novel. Old Major states during his motivational speech that he wants freedom for animals from humans. He attempts to explain to the animals how cruel and heartless human beings truly are by stating: “'Is it not then very clear, comrades, that all the evils of this life arise from the tyranny of human beings? Just get rid of the man, the product... in the center of the paper... pieces of paper. To conclude, Old Major's vision and what actually happened on the farm once the revolution occurred shared a common goal, to gain freedom from human beings. This goal was shared because all animals thought that Man was the breeding ground of all things evil. These two separate realities hit an obstacle when it comes to how to use power and how to make decisions. The animals after the rebellion were more focused on power and survival, while the lifestyle that Old Major had imagined after the revolution was more focused on equality among animals and following the right path, regardless of difficulties that may arise . George Orwell's Animal Farm has an allegory of a plot that shows the reader that dreaming about something is easy, since having to live it can be one of the greatest living nightmares..
