The main characters in the book are Mr. Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, Old Major, a boar, Snowball, a pig, Napoleon, a boar and Squealer, a pig.

Old Major dreamed during the night. A dream about a Rebellion. He spoke about this dream to the animals. Three days later old Major died in his sleep. The leaders of the animals were now three boars called Snowball, Napoleon and Squealer. One evening the farmer, Mr. Jones drank to much alcohol and hit the unfed animals. This was the moment for the Rebellion. All animals fought with the men and they were driven out of the farm. Manor Farm was theirs.

The pigs had taught themselves to read and write. Snowball took a brush and painted Animal Farm over Manor Farm. Also, they wrote seven commandments on the wall. 1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy, 2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend, 3. No animal shall wear clothes, 4. No animal shall sleep in a bed, 5. No animal shall drink alcohol, 6. No animal shall kill any other animal, 7. All animals are equal.

On every Sunday they had a ceremony to made plans for the next week. Snowball wanted to build a windmill. The vote for the windmill should be done during a special meeting. But on this meeting Napoleon's dogs hunted Snowball. They build the windmill.

One day the fourth commandment had changed. It said now 'No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets'. During the next time the windmill was twice a ruin. One time it was a storm and the other time it were some people who caused the windmill to explode. But they rebuild it. At night the animals saw Squealer who painted on the wall. The fifth commandment had changed. It said now 'No animal shall drink alcohol to excess'.

Years passed, they were only some animals on the farm. The windmill had been completed but the animals had no luxuries.

In the afternoon neighbouring farmers came. They were shown all over the farm. Then they sat in the dining room and they drank to the end of the misunderstanding and to teamwork.
