The Rebellion in George Orwell’s novella Animal Farm (1945) is triggered when Mr. Jones, the farmer, goes on a drinking binge and neglects to feed the animals on Manor Farm for two days, prompting them to chase him and his farmhands off the farm and take possession of it. They then rename it Animal Farm. In Orwell’s allegorical telling of the Russian Revolution of 1917, Mr. Jones represents Russian Tsar Nicholas II, and the Rebellion represents the Bolshevik revolution that overthrew the tsar.
