Many animals age and die, and few recall the days before the Rebellion. The animals living on Animal Farm still believe in the goals of the Rebellion—a world free from humans, with equality for all animals; but that is not the dream they are living.
There, the animals gaze in amazement at Squealer walking toward them on his hind legs- walking like a human. Only the last of the 7 Commandments remain: “all animals are equal.” However, it now carries an addition: “but some animals are more equal than others.” One day, the pigs invite neighboring human farmers over to inspect Animal Farm. Mr. Pilkington notes with appreciation that the pigs have found ways to make Animal Farm’s animals work harder and on less food than any other group of farm animals in the county. Napoleon even announces that Animal Farm will now be known as the Manor Farm, which is, he believes, its “correct and original name.”
The pigs and farmers return to their amiable card game, and the other animals creep away from the window. They can’t even tell the difference between the humans and the pigs.
