Abstract
In George Orwell's novel Animal Farm, the animals are used as symbols of historical figures to illustrate the dynamics of power and the transformation of idealism into tyranny. Orwell explores themes of rebellion against tyranny, betrayal of the principles of equality, and the manipulation of power through characters such as Napoleon and Snowball. The novel portrays events that reflect the Russian Revolution, with symbols such as the farm representing society. Orwell demonstrates how decision-making, manipulation, and changes in roles influence the transition from hopes for equality to oppressive power. Animal Farm not only critiques the mechanisms of power in politics but also offers insights into the inherent risks of corruption in governance systems. With its strong allegorical elements, the novel provides a universal lesson on the dynamics of power and the betrayal of revolutionary ideals
