Animal Farm Quotes

Napoleon is talking and celebrating with the humans. They are playing games and toasting to the peace between the humans and Napoleon, when Napoleon starts changing. The animals outside were confused because they “looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which” (Orwell 141). When Napoleon became more corrupt, he acted more like the humans. He was being friendly to the farmers as if he was one of them. Napoleon’s corruption was shown by him becoming a human. He did not care about the other animals, he just used them to get money. The rebellion against Mr. Jones was the animals trying to be free. The animals had freedom until Napoleon became corrupt. He was an animal just like the rest of the farm, then he took Mr. Jones’s place. Napoleon turning into a human is Napoleon becoming fully corrupt. Napoleon’s appearance shows how corrupt he has

Mr. Jones was the first and foremost crucial enemy of any enemy in this novel. He was a human, and the farmer. He took care of the animals, though the animals only saw what he did that was less than right. Mr. Jones was the reason for the rebellion, and the reason for the war. All the animals hated him, which was why Napoleon would always threaten the animals with, “You wouldn’t want Mr. Jones to come back,” just to make the animals stay

A ruler has his little guards and his reason being. Napoleon was just there to address the situation when they took over the farm, and he was whom had the authority to overrule the animals. As the book dragged on with Napoleon changing his mind constantly, the animals grew to attention that he was their leader, end of story.

Firstly, Napoleon uses manipulation to generate a cult of personality in the Animal Farm. Napoleon directly shows how he manipulated the animals as he believed “...[weaker] animals on Animal Farm did more work and [would] receive less food than any animals in the country” (92).Napoleon shows how he only cares about himself as he uses the animals. He would make the animals do labour to support himself and to be powerful.The animals would agree to everything that he said because they believed that Napoleon wanted the best for them.

Animal Farm is an allegory of the Russian Revolution, it is based on certain aspects of the Revolution. For example, revolting the government, all of the animals on the farm group together to overthrow their cruel owner because they believe they are not being treated as well as they should be. When the animals come into power after overthrowing their master the pigs consider themselves to be the dictators on the farm, snowball one of the pigs starts to plan building a windmill to give power to the farm but Napoleon is not happy that snowball is leading the animals in thought, so he starts blaspheming him, the animals are agreeing for Snowballs idea but now Napoleon is outraged. Napoleon lets out a high pitch squeal and out of nowhere a pack of dogs he raised from puppies ran after Snowball and chased him into

By the end of the novel, Napoleon is sleeping in Jones' bed, eating from Jones' plate, drinking alcohol, wearing a hat, walking on two legs, trading with humans, and sharing a toast with Mr. Pilkington. His final act of propaganda — changing the Seventh Commandment to "ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL / BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS" — reflects his unchallenged belief that he belongs in complete control of the farm. His restoration of the name Manor Farm shows just how much Napoleon has wholly disregarded the words of old Major. He never wants to achieve old Major’s goals or let animals have a better

The undeniable greed Napoleon possesses can only be fulfilled by giving the other animals the illusion of bettering themselves by not questioning his logic: “Boxer, who had now had time to think things over, voiced the general feeling by saying, ‘If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right.’ And from then on he adopted the maxim, ‘Napoleon is always right,’ in addition to his private motto of ‘I will work harder’” (Orwell 60). Because Animal Farm’s audience predominantly consists of working class citizens, they begin to feel sympathy for Boxer since he cannot recognize Napoleon is exploiting him exclusively for his personal goal of becoming a puissant leader; therefore, animosity towards Napoleon develops in the audience. Considering the animals promptly welcome Napoleon’s promise of a better life, they work towards exhaustion, unknowingly fueling Napoleon’s greed: "All that year the animals worked like slaves. But they were happy in their work; they grudged no effort or sacrifice, well aware that everything that they did was for the benefit of themselves and those of their kind who would come after them, and not for a pack of idle, thieving human beings" (63). Although the animals working for Napoleon are unaware he is gradually becoming more human and willfully betraying his fellow animals for his own benefit, it is evident to the audience that Napoleon is corrupt. As Napoleon cunningly achieves power, his greed continues to grow, the same as a totalitarian leader’s:

Animal Farm is a written allegory story by George Orwell. The novel is about what happened during the political time of Russia; the Bolshevik Revolution and show the betrayal of Joseph Stalin. This novel shows a lot of symbolism throughout and the main one is how Napoleon and Joseph Stalin are similar.

Janie was forced to get married to Logan by her Nanny when she was just seventeen years old. Logan defined marriage as someone who could be a helping hand around in the house and farm. “Ah aims tuh run two plows, and dis mah Ah’m talkin’ ‘bout is got uh mule all gentled up so even uh woman kan handle ‘im” (Page 27). Logan plans to buy another mule, so that Janie and him can both work around in the farm.

Napoleon’s use of propaganda keeps the animals on his side. Squealer tells the animals that the pigs need milk and apples because they work more than the other animals. Squealer told the animals, “... So it was agreed without further argument that the milk and...apples...should be reserved for the pigs alone,”(Doc C, Chapter 3). Napoleon uses propaganda through Squealer telling the animals to do what he says.

However, the pigs had a change in mind. They decided to be leaders of the farm because they believed they were the smartest. Nonetheless, they unknowingly become “human”. This is where the quote comes into play. The pigs start to forget how Jones acted and started to become Jones but in animal form. They even changed all the commandments to satisfy all their needs. They turned “No animal can sleep in a bed,” to “No animal can sleep in a bed with sheets.” And “No animal can drink alcohol,” to “No animal can drink alcohol to excess,” and so on and so forth. This just shows that the pigs did not want to break the seven commandments so instead, they changed it to make it seem like they are doing nothing

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.

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.

a. Animal Farm is an allegory, which is a story in which concrete and specific characters and situations stand for other characters and situations in order to make a point of them. The main plot of Animal Farm stands for the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the early years of the Soviet Union in which animalism is actually communism. Each character stands for a certain figure, or group of people in the Russian Revolution. Most of them stand for important political figures.

This can be shown in the novel when it is said, “At this there was a terrible baying sound outside, and nine enormous dogs wearing brass-studded collars came bounding into the barn. They dashed straight for Snowball, who only sprang from his place just in time to escape their snapping jaws” (Orwell 33). If the animals were still living under normal conditions on the farm with Mr. Jones as the owner and leader, Napoleon most likely would not have made this cruel decision. Overall, power affects decisions of many famous literary characters.
