George Orwell’s allegorical novella, Animal Farm represents the aspects of the Russian Revolutionary War. In the beginning, Old Major, an old boar, uses his dream to dictate to the animals that they need to unite and rebel against their defective owner, Mr. Jones and his men. Although, in their attempt to be a Utopian society, power corrupts the animals and the farm fails.

But when a special horse, Boxer, spreads his dedication, drive, and allegiance, the animals put their hope into him. Above all, a Utopian society is not accomplishable due to the corruption of
