In the beginning of life under rule of the animals of
Animal Farm, there were seven commandments. Perhaps the most
important was the seventh--"All animals are equal." Though many of the animals never
realized it, this commandment was broken almost immediately by the pigs. Beginning with
the theft of the milk for their own consumption, the pigs used the other animals much in
the same way Mr. Jones had. By Chapter 10, Napoleon was walking on two legs and dining
with humans. When Clover and old Benjamin took a look at the end of the big barn, there
was only one commandment
remaining:
ALL ANIMALS ARE
EQUAL
BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN
OTHERS
