Causes Of Rebellion In Animal Farm

In Animal Farm, a rebellion was successfully won by the animals against Mr Jones, the owner of the farm and once he was off the farm, the animals quickly got into a routine, but it cannot be decided if without Jones, the farm was better or worse. The reason for the rebellion came from a pig called Old Major, as he had a dream one night about everyone's future if they stayed with Mr Jones, so he informed all of the animals and everyone began planning the rebellion.

Old Major, who was a highly respected old pig, said in Chapter 1, “Jones will sell you to the knacker, who will cut your throat and boil you down for the foxhounds. As fr the dogs, when they grow old and toothless, Jones ties a brick round their necks and drowns them in the nearest pond... All men are enemies, All animals are comrades.” This shows me that he is trying to make everyone see that there lives won't be safe with Mr Jones and if they stay with him, they would be dead within the next few years, as men as evil and animals are good.
The harness-room at the end of the stables was broken open; the bits, the nose-rings, the dog chains, the cruel knives with which Mr Jones had been used to castrate the pigs and lambs, were all flung down the well. The reins, The halters, the blinkers, the degrading nosebag's, were thrown on to the rubbish fire which was burning in the yard. So were the whips. All The animals capered with joy when they saw the whips going up in flames.” This tells me that this is one of the best things to happen for the animals, because it means no more torture and no more being ordered to do chores, they get to decide how to live there lives instead of someone else
