Empathy can be defined as ‘the power of identifying oneself mentally and emotionally with a person or object’. When reading novels, we are able to relate to some characters through similar experiences and emotions and so these characters often invite our understanding and empathy. In George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm, Boxer the horse invites our empathy. We empathise with Boxer and the way in which the pig Napoleon, the leader of Animal Farm, takes advantage of his good-natured personality and manipulates him into following all orders. Boxer is unaware of the fact that he is being taken advantage of and that Napoleon has forced him into being the main labourer in the long, strenuous construction of the windmill. Despite his apparent

Most people believe that the main characters in a novel tell the story, but it is actually clear that without the minor characters there would not be a story. In George Orwell’s Animal Farm the minor characters play an important role in giving the clues that the new revolution will not work out. Animal Farm’s three minor characters Mollie, Benjamin and Boxer show the importance in being true to oneself rather than trying to please the all-knowing leader.

Having read the book “Animal Farm” I thought it was a good book with a lot of similarities that I could tie it in with reality. I also thought the author explained behavior very nicely. During this book lots of things happen that are much like reality, like tyrants, fake power, and lots of lying. To start off I will tell you about the main characters, and second what they will accomplish during their time in animal farm. I will also discuss what they want whether they're innocent or they lie to be in power.

the novel Animal Farm. It is shown through propaganda of fear, slogan and black - and - white fallacy. The pigs like Napoleon and Squealer, put fear in the other animals as a strategy to maintain their position as leaders on the farm. Additionally, slogans were used to promote a good cause but, eventually grew into something else due to corruption. Also the propaganda of  black - and - white fallacy was used to manipulate the animals to stay on the farm. Furthermore, these all  are contributing factors to the fall of animal farm due to corruption of power.

The majority of humans agree that all animals deserve respect. When given the power to end a being’s life, most struggle with accepting the savagery of this act and fail to cause harm. Jack initially coincides with this, as he struggles to kill a pig. However, eventually, the boy’s are able to kill a pig with no remorse, eventually leading them to “raping” a pig. In Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, the deterioration of the boys is shown by the symbolic encounters of the pig, as the boys’ demeanor gradually becomes vulgar.

In George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm, a major turning point in the novel was when Napoleon used his secret police force, his dogs, to exile Snowball. Snowball had previously been trying to improve the animal’s lives for the future by building a windmill. After Snowball was exiled, Napoleon became leader and everything immediately went amiss. Orwell stated that: "Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer- except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs" (p.86). In other words, no one was benefiting from the animal’s labours apart from the pigs and the dogs because the amount of authority the dogs and the pigs, especially Napoleon had, was corrupt. Frighteningly, if Snowball had been

“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and and from pig to man again, but already it was impossible to say which was which.” Orwell wrote Animal Farm as an allegory based on problems resulting from the Russian Revolution. In Animal Farm, George Orwell uses tone, characterization, and stylistic elements to show that people in power use manipulation to stay in power.

Often times, literature that proves to be inflammatory or contradictory to the societal values leaders want to have reflected and believed in ends up altered or censored entirely. This, in turn, inhibits a flow of ideas that may influence others and bring about important change. Instances such as Martin Luther nailing his document Ninety-Five Theses, to a church door and then being excommunicated and his document being destroyed, to Socrates teaching and writing philosophical prose that defied the beliefs in Athens at the time, and being forced to drink poison, emphasize the notion that when an institution senses a threat from literature, it toils to destroy it, and sometimes even its creator. A similar case can be made for Animal Farm, a novel

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.
