well i guess the idea of power is something similar

Animal Farm - power is corrupting. The pigs were originally there to protect other animals but become corrupt. Alter laws to their benefits.

As You Like It - power is attractive but needs to be earnt legitimately. Duke Frederick took power illegtimately which broke the great chain of being where everyone is in their place. if someone breaks it they are challenging god. They suffer from it.

i dont remember much from animal farm so i cant really help out. Also despite doing As you like it, i barely know anything. Thats all i can help sorry.

Both texts have a common theme of 'power' and its consequences.

In animal farm the pigs illegitimately gain the power by cheating and using false propaganda, Also in shakespeare's as you like it. Power is used for personal benefit.
