All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

Summary

This quote, taken from George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm," is a satirical commentary on inequality and the abuse of power. It highlights the paradoxical nature of societies that claim to promote equality but end up creating a hierarchy where certain individuals or groups hold more privilege and authority than others. By using animals as the characters in the novel, Orwell metaphorically criticizes the flaws of human societies and the tendency for some to manipulate and exploit others, disregarding the principles of true equality.
