The novel begins with a meeting of the animals called together
by old Major the most respected pig on the farm.
Major recounts a dream of the future when the 'tyrant man'
will be overthrown and the animals shall rule the earth.
His words and a rebellious song he teaches them stir the
animals' emotions but they take no action immediately and the
noisy meeting is eventually broken up by a blast from the
shotgun of Farmer Jones.
Old Major dies three days later but the spirit of his
philosophy is carried on by the other pigs notably Snowball
and Napoleon.

By Mid-Summer the discontented animals have finally had more
than they can stand of the inefficient and lazy Jones and he
is suddenly driven from the farm.
The animals celebrate their victory and led by the pigs adopt
a code of behaviour known as the Seven Commandments.
The animals conduct a successful harvest and turn their
attention to education and self-improvement.
Napoleon and Snowball continue to have the most to say when it
comes to important decisions and it is noticeable that the
pigs are eating better than the other animals although this is
shown to be for the good of all.
