Character Analysis Of Animal Farm By George Orwell

By now the responder clearly realises that the strong relationship between Boxer and Napoleon is obviously a negative one. It saddens the responder and invites their empathy to find Boxer to be so oblivious to what is going on around him and at the same time his level of incomprehension creates a feeling of slight frustration in a sympathetic type of sense. A strong feeling of dislike is formed towards Napoleon as he so easily controls Boxer, forcing him to do such tough, punishing labour as he is aware that Boxer is extremely loyal to his superiors and happily prepared to complete all set tasks. Boxer and the other animals fall victim to the pigs’ cunning ways, but besides the easily convinced sheep and Boxer, the other animals are aware of this but are too frightened or cowardly to put a stop to it, for fear of being accused of treachery and then executed.

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.

When thinking about pigs, you generally associate them with being dirty, repulsive and gluttonous. Well, that's Napoleon. In the novel, Animal Farm, by George Orwell Napoleon is a pig on Manor Farm who slowly exerts power over others and begins his reign as a dictator. Napoleon takes over and renames the farm Animal Farm while being completely deceptive and unfair. Napoleon is a prime example of how absolute power corrupts absolutely because he is unjust and doesn't care for the wellbeing of any of the other animals on the farm but himself.

Another motto that Boxer has is that “Napoleon is always right.” When Napoleon says something, even though it is not proper, Boxer is always the one who believes it first. Again, because of Boxer’s reputation in the farm whatever he does, the animals tend to follow and in turn it benefits the pigs’ ambitions. On the other hand, not only Boxer was the one who pressures the animals, the sheep, who was used by the pigs, also took part in pressuring the animals.

Some farmers name their pigs Wilbur; others name them after tyrannical dictators. By naming Napoleon (the pig) after Napoleon (the crazy French man), Orwell is referring to the possibility that Karl Marx’ theory of “communism” had the same faults as the French theory of “liberty”. That is, corruption.

“Comrade Napoleon… was already making arrangements to send Boxer to be treated at hospital Willingdon… ‘Alfred Simonds, Horse Slaughter and Glue Boiler, Willingdon… They are taking Boxer to the knackers!”(Orwell 97-99) . This quote shows Napoleon is a wicked pig, and he used the money to buy another crate of whisky.

Orwell uses the negative characterisation of Napoleon and Squealer to position the audience to see a side to these characters that the animals cannot and to show to detrimental effects of manipulation. Napoleon uses power and control over the animals through fear to get what he wants and to

Squealer lies to the animals about the current conditions of the farm. He “read out to them lists of figures proving that the production had increased by two hundred percent, three hundred percent, or five hundred percent” (92). Squealer gives the animals inaccurate information to manipulate their perceptions of Animal Farm to implant the idea that it is a great place under Napoleons reign. Secondly, Squealer distorts the truth by telling the animals about Napoleon’s initial idea of the windmill. Squealer explains to the animals that “Napoleon had never in reality been opposed to the windmill… it was he who had advocated it in the beginning” (57).***. Third, Squealer settles all the commotion by lying to the animals about Napoleon’s involvement with trade. He assures the animals that “engaging in trade and using money had never been passed, or even suggested…It was pure imagination.” (64). Squealer lies to the animals about this and claims it is due their imagination, all to manipulate the animals into thinking that* Napoleon would never be involved in such activities. Napoleon’s spokesman, Squealer, lies to the animals about the current conditions on the farm, Napoleon’s initial ideas, and the involvement trade to manipulate and deceive the animals of Animal

In “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, life events can influence how your actions, and can also change your personality, so you are more guilty or sad, as shown by Boxer, which reveals the theme that the people still have their own feelings and opinions even though they are constantly influenced by society and world leaders. In works of literature, like Animal Farm, The Hunger Games, article about the controversy on Starbucks cups, and Brave, the recurring theme of people changing after life events is present. Boxer, from “Animal Farm”, is a key example of a being having differing emotions, perspectives, reactions, and opinions after a big life event. Boxer accidentally murdered a stable boy, and should have been proud like the pigs wanted him

It is the middle of Summer when Boxer, a horse, and Benjamin, a donkey were freed from their human oppressors on Manor farm, or commonly known as Animal Farm. Napoleon, who is the farm’s “President” is a pig, which all pigs are smarter than the other animals (and Napoleon is the smartest pig out of all the pigs, which makes him the leader). Animal Farm is a book written by George Orwell. Boxer, who has a big role in this book, is the main topic of this essay. Boxer has a big role on this farm because of all his actions. Boxer is a hard worker, and his main motto is “I shall work harder,” (Orwell #29) showing that he is a big helper on the farm. He supports “Comrade Napoleon”, which makes him loyal to Napoleon, and he is overall a great animal to have around a farm because of how hard he works and how his personality is.

Napoleon and Squealer are used to develop the themes of corruption of power and manipulation of language and express these themes by Napoleon assuming leadership after the first rebellion and secretly training attack dogs while Squealer distorts the truth and convinces the animals there are no written record forbidding trade with humans, so it must be okay. Napoleons characterizations used to express the theme corruption of power by after the rebellion Napoleon took leadership he does many things that show corruption of power. Napoleon steals milk for the pigs only and declares Snowball traitor and claims windmill is his idea. He also has his portrait painted beside the commandments.

One of the main characters of Animal Farm is an allegorical parallel of Joseph Stalin. Napoleon is the pig that emerges as the leader of Animal Farm after the Rebellion. He represents

The best- known character in Animal Farm is Napoleon, he is known for all the mischief he's done to the farm. Orwell illustrates how Napoleon and Stalin are similar, due to the fact that Napoleon changed the seven commandments when he failed to follow them. He is an allegory for Stalin, who had too much power and took advantage

In George Orwell’s allegory, Animal Farm, the characters portray important people from the Russian Revolution. One of the main characters, Napoleon, has become a tyrant. He suppresses all ideals as a rebellion and makes his own rules. He overthrows fellow animals to become a leader with power. Moreover, with Napoleon as a leader, he has become a unfaithful, cruel, and manipulative pig.

Animal Farm begins with Old Major telling his fellow animals about his dream in which he envisions a farm with no humans. The speech instills a drive within the animal community to rise and overthrow Mr. Jones, the farm owner. After the farmer is successfully removed and Old Major dies, the animals find themselves in a leaderless state. Three pigs, Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer, take it upon
