The Seven Commandments

The Seven Commandments, established in George Orwell's "Animal Farm," are rules designed to promote equality and justice among animals after they overthrow their human owner. They include principles like, "All animals are equal," and prohibit behaviors such as indulging in human vices. The commandments aim to ensure shared prosperity, discourage exploitation, and maintain solidarity. However, as the story progresses, the pigs—who assume leadership—manipulate these rules, revealing the corrupting influence of power and the fragility of ideals in governance. The commandments ultimately highlight the challenges of upholding true equality in society.
