"I´m writing this story about a bunch of animals that wants to revolt against their farmer but when they´ve one day succeeded in chasing their farmer off the pigs take over and makes things even worse.
Basically it´s a big metaphor of the Russian revolution and the pigs represent the communists.
The animal farm represents Russia and then all the other animals represent like different parts of Russia.
So, like, the hens are the farmers, the horse represents the workers, the sheep represents the stupid masses and so on...
The story is also about human nature kind of."
