George Orwell's "Animal Farm" is an allegorical story about a group of farm animals rebelling against their human masters with the desire to govern themselves. The novel deals with themes of power, greed, ideology, class, control, etc.

The animals, under the influence and leadership of Old Major, decided that they must get free of human control if they are to successfully 'reclaim' their lives.

His declaration that they must "get rid of Man, and the produce of [their] labor would be [their] own."
