The deep dark night.
Mr. Jones locked the hen-houses.
But forgot to shut the pop-holes.
He had a lantern in his hand.
With this he made a sudden unsteady movement
forward across the yard, kicked off his boots at the back door.
Entered into the scullery.
He drew himself a last glass of beer from the barrel placed there
MR. JONES, drunk as usual, made his way up to bed, where Mrs. Jones
was already in deep sleep.
Then he went to sleep without properly securing the
animals.
Who was Mr. Jones?
He was the proprietor and overseer of the
Manor Farm.
He underfeeds the animals while in luxury
himself.
He also overworks the animals and as soon as
they can no longer work efficiently, they were
disposed of.
As soon as the light in the bedroom went out there was
the beginning of lightly and quickly moving ideas all
through the farm buildings.
These was actually those words which had gone round
during the day that
1. Old Major had had a strange dream on the previous
night.
2. And wished to communicate it to the other animals.
 It had been agreed that they
should all meet in the big barn
as soon as Mr. Jones was safely
out of the way.
2nd scene
At one end of the big barn, on a sort of raised
platform, the old age pig was already made himself
comfortable on the bed of straw, under a lantern
which hung from a beam.
Who was that old age pig?
That was the major actually.
Then who was he?...
Old Major:
 He was the prize Middle White wild male pig.
 He was twelve years old and had lately grown rather
strong.
 But he was still a majestic-looking pig, with a wise, kind
and generous appearance.
 He was so highly regarded on the farm.
 He was sensing that his long life is about to come to an
end, Major wishes
to impart to the rest of the farm
animals a distillation of the
wisdom that he has acquired
during his lifetime.
 The farm animals were waiting in silence up to the
moment Mr. Jones were out of sight, then they began to
bustle around, preparing themselves for the big meeting
that was to take place that night.
 The tame raven, conveyed message to gather animals in the
big barn to hear a speech by Old Major.
 So, after the drunken farmer Jones had gone to
bed, the animals were started gathering in the big barn.


First came the three dogs:
Blue bell
Jessie
Pitcher
Entry of pigs… settle down in the
straw immediately in front of the
platform…
Then hens came… landing and staying themselves on
the window-sills.
The pigeons moved lightly and quickly up to the one
of the sloping pieces of wood that support a roof.
After them the sheep and cows laid down behind the
pigs and began to chew the curd.
 The two cart-horses, Boxer and Clover, came in together,
walking very slowly and setting down their vast hairy hoofs
with great care to prevent small animal hiding in the straw
from harm.
 Clover was a strong and thick motherly mare approaching
middle life.
 Boxer was an enormous beast, heighted and as strong as any
two ordinary horses put together. A white stripe down his
nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance, and in fact he
was not of quite intelligence, but he was universally
respected for his steadiness of character and tremendous
powers of work.
 Muriel, the white goat, and Benjamin, the donkey came.
 Benjamin was the oldest animal on the farm, and the worst
tempered. He seldom talked, and when he did, it was usually to
make some cynical remark. He was the only animal on the farm
who never laughed.
 At the last moment Mollie, the foolish, pretty white mare, came in
delicate manner, chewing at a lump of sugar. She took a place
near the front and showing off the red ribbons in her hair.
Last of all came the cat, who looked round, as usual,
for the warmest place, and finally squeezed herself in
between Boxer and Clover; there she make a sound
form the throat throughout Major's speech without
listening to a word of what he was saying.
All the animals were now present except Moses, the
tame raven, the pillar of community, who slept on a
branch behind the back door and fails to come.
When Major saw that they had all made themselves
comfortable and were waiting attentively, he cleared
his throat and start his speech.
Man
Sensing that his long life is about to
come to an end, Major wishes to pass on to
the rest of the farm animals an essence of
the wisdom that he has acquired during his
lifetime.
The plain truth, he says, is that the lives
of his fellow animals are “miserable,
laborious, and short.”
Animals are born into the world as
slaves, worked constantly from the time
they can walk, fed only enough to keep
breath in their bodies, and then slaughtered
ruthlessly when they are no longer useful.
 He notes that the land upon which the animals live possesses enough resources
to support many times the present population in luxury; there is no natural
reason for the animals’ poverty and misery.
 Major blames the animals’ suffering solely on their human oppressors.
 Mr. Jones and his kind have been exploiting animals for ages, Major says,
taking all of the products of their labor—eggs, milk, dung, foals—for
themselves and producing nothing of value to offer the animals in return.
 He exhorts them to overthrow the humans who claim to own them.
 The animals can succeed in their rebellion only if they first achieve a complete
solidarity or “perfect comradeship” of all of the animals against the humans.
 Major then provides a guideline that will allow the animals to determine who
their comrades are: creatures that walk on two legs are enemies; those with four
legs or with wings are allies.
 He reminds his audience that the ways of man are completely corrupt: once the
humans have been defeated, the animals must never adopt any of their habits;
they must not: live in a house,
 sleep in a bed,
 wear clothes
 drink alcohol,
 smoke tobacco,
After his speech Major tells the
animals about the dream that
he had.
His words were:
“I cannot describe
that dream to you. It was a dream
of the earth as it will be when
Man has vanished.”
He tells them that the dream reminded him of something.
Many years ago, when
he was a little pig, his
mother and the other
sows used to sing an old
song of which they knew
only the tune and the
first three words.
He says that he knew the tune from the beginning but with
time the tune faded away and was finally erased from his
memory.
Then he continues by saying that the song came back to him
and what was more, the words of the song also came back.
He says that he is certain that the words which the animals
from the past used to sing, the words which were lost
through the generations have come back.
He says that he will sing
the song for them.
Its is called
“BEASTS OF ENGLAND”.
Then the Major cleared
his throat and started to sing the song.
Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken to my joyful tidings
Of the golden future time.
Soon or late the day is coming,
Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown,
And the fruitful fields of England
Shall be trod by beasts alone.
Rings shall vanish from our noses,
And the harness from our back,
Bit and spur shall rust forever,
Cruel whips no more shall crack.
Riches more than mind can picture,
Wheat and barley, oats and hay,
Clover, beans, and mangel-wurzels
Shall be ours upon that day.
Bright will shine the fields of England,
Purer shall its waters be,
Sweeter yet shall blow its breezes
On the day that sets us free.
For that day we all must labour,
Though we die before it break;
Cows and horses, geese and turkeys,
All must toil for freedom's sake.
Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken well and spread my tidings
Of the golden future time.
The singing of this song threw the animals into the wildest
excitement.
Almost before Major had reached the end, they had begun
singing it for themselves. Even the stupidest of them had
already picked up the tune.
After a few preliminary tries, the whole farm burst out into
Beasts of England in tremendous unison.
They would have sung it all night long if the uproar didn’t
wake Mr. Jones up. He sprang out of bed, making sure that
there was a fox in the yard. He seized the gun and let fly a
charge of 6 shot into the darkness.
All the animals jumped into their places and the whole farm
was asleep in a moment.
