Explanation:

George Orwell's Animal Farm is a well - known political allegory. The novel uses animals on a farm to represent different groups in society. The events on the farm, such as the rebellion against the human farmer (Mr. Jones), parallel the key events of the Russian Revolution. For example, the pigs (especially Napoleon) come to represent the Soviet leadership. Just as in the Russian Revolution, where the initial ideals of equality (like the animals' early hopes for a better life on the farm) were eventually corrupted by power - hungry leaders.

Answer:

The entire novel is an allegory for the Russian Revolution of 1917.
