More to Discover
More in Entertainment
In one of Animal Farm’s scenes, Benjamin the Donkey and Clover the horse stare at the new “list of commandments.” They don’t realize it, but the corrupt pigs that overrule the farm under Napoleon change the rules to suit their needs. In a culminating sweep of domination, Napoleon seals his complete control over the farm, turning the once democratic animal society into a dictatorship.
