In "Animal Farm," the animals are directed to meet to hear a speech by Old Major, a prize-winning boar. He shares his vision of a rebellion against their human owner, Mr. Jones, and outlines his dream of a society where animals can live free and equal. This meeting serves as a catalyst for the animals to unite and consider the possibility of overthrowing their oppressor, setting the stage for the revolution that follows.
