ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL, BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS.
When the animals take over the farm, they think it is the start of a better life. Their dreams is of a world where all animals are equal and all property is shared. But soon the pigs take control and one of them, Napoleon, becomes the leader of all the animals. One by one the principles of the revolution are abandoned, until the animals have even less freedom than before.

Animal Farm is a classic work by George Orwell and a noted piece of literature, which, of course, may help the reader to catapult the imagination beyond the horizons of dogmatic adherence to idealistic or Utopian thoughts. It however, represents human characteristics in an analogy of animal instincts, but it really gives insight into the Russian Revolution of 1917. It also mimics the doomsday of a precipitated change, brought by a modicum of bureaucratic class called as Bolsheviks.

If Snowball seized power...
After reading 1984, I find myself wondering what would have happened if Snowball, or Leon Trotsky in the Russian Revolution, seized power of Animal Farm. If Snowball - I'll use Snowball instead of Trotsky so I don't keep going back and forth - did somehow seize power and Napoleon gradually retreated into oblivion, then "permanent revolution," which is Snowball's belief that the success of the revolution depends on the its continuous expansion, would have prevailed. Would the "permanent revolution" policy work? Or in other words, would Snowball be able to incite revolutions on the farms owned by Mr. Pilkington, who represents Churchill, and Mr. Frederick, who represents Adolf Hitler? For the animals under Snowball's control, would they lead better lives? Or would power go to Snowball's head, like it did Napoleon's head, leading Snowball to prosper at the expense of the other animals?
