Anger In Animal Farm By George Orwell

"All oppression creates a state of war" -Simone de Beauvar, French Philosopher. Animal Farm by George Orwell is an allegory for the Russian Revolution. Each animal was a key character in the Revolution such as Napoleon being Joseph Stalin, Mr. Jones being Tsar Nicholas and Boxer, being an ignorant. Mr.Jones was run off the farm because the animals were tired of the drunken man mistreating them. What the animals didn't know was that they went from one dictator to a whole group of them. The pigs. Ignorance contributes to political and social oppression and is proved by the inability to comprehend what the pigs are doing to the other animals. The animals cannot read or write as well, are perplexed easily, couldn't see the blemishes in the pig's leadership, or how the pigs changed things and didn't see or completely ignored how the pigs had acted.

The novel Animal Farm created by George Orwell, is based on the Russian Revolution but is re-created into a fairytale genre. It shares a variety of themes to that makes an indirect comparison to the Russian Revolution by turning the setting, characters and storyline into farm animals coping with their lives. Violence is a repetitive theme used throughout the book that indicate whether it’s a symbol of good or bad. Good as in fighting for their rights and taking it to war or bad as in using violence as a key to abusive behavior. Violence is shown at these three significant moments in the book: The battle of Cowshed, The windmill battle and Napoleon's use of violence.

I have decided to explore the theme of how ‘Fear is a powerful motivator’. Different leaders and influential people have various ways of using fear to motivate people. Two of my texts: ‘Animal Farm’ by George Orwell, and ‘The Rise of Evil” directed by Christian Duguay, both show how totalitarian leaders used violence to motivate the public. The other texts: ‘Bowling for Columbine’ directed by Michael Moore, and ‘Who’s for the Game’ by Jesse Pope, both show how two different influential people motivated the public without using violence, instead creating fear using words.

George Orwell’s Animal Farm is, first and foremost, a political satire warning against the pursuit of utopian desires through unjust and oppressive means. Operating under the pretense of an animal fable, Orwell disparages the use of political power to poach personal freedom. He effectively alerts his readers to the dangerous price that can accompany the so-called “pursuit of progress”. And he illuminates how governments acting under the guise of increasing independence often do just the opposite: increase oppression and sacrifice sovereignty. While the cautionary theme Orwell provides proves widely applicable, in reality his novel focuses on one tale of totalitarian abuse: Soviet Russia. The parallels between the society Orwell presents in his Animal Farm and the Soviet Union – from the Russian revolution to Stalin’s supremacy – are seemingly endless. Manor Farm represents Tsarist Russia, Animalism compares to Stalinism, and Animal Farm, with the pig Napoleon at its helm, clearly symbolizes Communist Russia and Joseph Stalin. But Orwell does more than simply align fiction with fact. He fundamentally attacks Soviet Russia at its core. And in so doing he reveals how the Communist Party simply replaced a bad system with a worse one, overthrowing an imperial autocracy for a totalitarian dictatorship. This essay will demonstrate that Orwell’s Animal Farm is

Elie Wiesel in Night and Snowball from Animal Farm are very similar characters because they were victimized by tyrants and used as scapegoats, but they are also unique and individual characters because Elie knew he was being taken advantage of and Snowball did not. Animal Farm is written by George Orwell, and it is about a farm of animals that take over the farm. Napoleon, a large pig, slowly takes away food and supplies from the other animals until he starts walking on two feet and becomes a “human.” Because of him Snowball is expelled from the farm and acts as a scapegoat for everything that goes wrong on the farm. Night is an autobiography written by Elie Wiesel, and in it Elie tells the story of he was taken from his home and put into a concentration camp under the control of Adolf Hitler.

People respond to control and power differently for various reasons, however, one of the main reasons is based on their personality; their confidence and intelligence. In, Animal Farm by George Orwell, confidence and intelligence is a big factor for why certain animals obtained power and control and why other ones did not. People with confidence and intelligence are likely to gain most of the control and power. People with little intelligence, but lots of confidence are more likely to have some power or work underneath the leader. People with intelligence, but no confidence seem to have no power at all and shy away from it. Both intelligence and confidence are needed for someone to take total power. Therefore, the amount of confidence and intelligence a person has will decide how they respond to control and power.

Looking back at mistakes everyone around the world has made, it is easy to assume people will never make the same mistakes again. An example an a small scale would be something as simple as a bad math grade. Anyone might try to improve their grade by practicing more and making corrections to the steps they messed up on. In the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, the animals overthrow the farmer Mr. Jones. By the end, all of the animals were under the control of the boar Napoleon. Many things went wrong along the way, and only some of the time the animals reflected and learned from the mistakes they made. An understanding of the past is essential in order to adequately guard against future mistakes.

(Orwell, 62). Napoleon and the pigs use Jones as a threat to keep the animals in line. Napoleon rose to power on the farm by running snowball out with his dogs. Napoleon then used Snowball as a scapegoat for everything that went wrong, therefore turning all the animals against him. Stalin did the same thing with Leon Trotsky in the Soviet Union.

The reason the Russians started a rebellion was due to how the Russian Government was taking advantage of them and abusing its power. In Animal Farm, old Major says, “Man is the only creature that consumes without producing," (Pg. 7) This quote alludes to how the Russian Government would take everything from their hard working citizens and give them the bare minimum in return. When the Soviets party was inspired by Marx and Lenin, it gave the citizens a dream to fight for. After they achieve their dream and Stalin forms his Communist government it becomes worse than it was before.

The rebellion was initiated to escape the human’s cruel ways but instead brought out the ultimate good and evil in the animals. Animal Farm begins with an idea of rebellion thought up by the most respected animal; Old Major, after revolution/rebellion of Manor Farm to Animal Farm. The animal’s true characters begin to show and Animal Farm begins to show the same qualities of Manor Farm. A dictatorial government comes into play and the animals develop the human like qualities that they were trying to rid themselves of. The resurrection of Manor Farm after the revolution was due to the tyrannical behavior of Napoleon and his ability to convince the other animals that everything he was doing was for the best.

The author clarifies that anger is constructive when it aims at reforming the society and freeing it from oppression. After the expulsion of Jones, the farm's title has changed from "Manor Farm" to "Animal Farm". The animals have written the seven commandments which should be followed, which mainly state that "all animals are equal" (Orwell 25) and that no one should do what Man does, that is why they have burned everything in the farm related to human beings. The rebellion is the animals' savior from inequality and cruelty, so they inform the other farm's animals about their brave angry rebellion to free themselves as well. Jones is angry of his defeat so he attacks Animal Farm with other farmers to take revenge.

The novelist elaborates that since anger is there, there is dishonesty and betrayal as well. Orwell employs the character of Napoleon to be agitated when some animals have admitted that they have been in league with Snowball, so he can know everything about the farm to ruin it and Mr. Frederick would take charge of the farm. As a result of his anger, Napoleon has punished these disloyal animals by ordering his dogs to "[tear] their throats out" (Orwell 84). Because of his hatred to Snowball and being railed against him, Napoleon slaughters the hens who have told him "that Snowball [has] appeared to them in a dream and incited them to disobey Napoleon's orders" (Orwell 84). This emphasizes that Napoleon is very angry and he has severely killed

George Orwell includes a strong message in his novel Animal Farm that is easily recognizable. Orwell’s Animal Farm focuses on two primary problems that were not only prominent in his WWII society, but also posed as reoccurring issues in all societies past and present. Orwell’s novel delivers a strong political message about class structure and oppression from the patriarchal society through an allegory of a farm that closely resembles the Soviet Union.

It’s a sunny day on a Thursday afternoon and I was at the park. I look over and see my friend getting bullied by a group a kids. I couldn’t just watch it happen so I walked over to him and told the bullies to leave. The bullies walked away and I told my friend that he needs to go and stand up for himself. He went over there to say something, but it just made everything worse. In the story Animal Farm by George Orwell the animals are mistreated and rebel later. Napoleon the main character takes the spot as the leader. He has many self conflicts and conflicts with another. Nevertheless the theme it is difficult to say who does you the most harm enemies with the worst intentions or friends with the best is the better theme. This theme fits better because yes the owner did mistreat him and cause him pain. But once he became the leader everyone got mad and left him. His friends who were trying to help just made him more mad and his friends causing them to separate from each other. Napoleon lost the people that were trying to help him beat the people who were hurting him.
