Summary of Chapter 10 In the beginning of this chapter it tells you which of the original animals have died. Life is horrible on the farm. Napoleon decides that the only rule you need to know is “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” Then he goes on to tell all the sheep and other dumber animals the saying “four legs good two legs better”, which is completely going against the idea and purpose of animalism. In this chapter they also distinguish the class systems on the farm. Pigs and dogs being higher class and any animals being the lower class. The pigs do not even resemble pigs anymore. Napoleon even begins to call animal farm MANor farm. Napoleon is now an established leader and life on the farm has returned to when Jones was in charge.
