Character Analysis Of Napoleon In Animal Farm

One night, all the animals of Mr. Jones’ farm, gather together in the barn to listen to Old Major, the pig, tell them about a dream he had, in which no animal had to live under the reign of human owners which would happen after a large rebellion against the people that treated them as slaves. After his death, which occurred only three nights after that meeting, the rest of the animals spent months working on plans to make the rebellion that Old Major had spoken of, into a reality. In the beginning the pigs, particularly Snowball and Napoleon, which had naturally become the leaders, faced difficulties convincing the other animals that this was the right thing to do.

The animals want to escape humans, but what happens when one of their own turns on them? The story Animal Farm by George Orwell, Is about the animals on Mr. Jones's Manor Farm. The Oldest pig is Old Major, and he describes a dream he had. His dream was of the animals rebelling against the humans. A few days later, Old major dies in his sleep and Two new pigs take power, Snowball and Napoleon. Then make the rules of Animalism called the seven amendments. Napoleon wants to be in full control, so he uses guard dogs he raised to banish Snowball and then lies and says Snowball is a “bad guy”. Napoleon continues to change things until he is the unquestioned ruler of the farm. The theme corruption can change people. The story shows this through Napoleon's dialogue, actions, and appearance.

The main character in Animal Farm, Napoleon, had many interesting traits but as the story progresses he evolves into a different character. In the beginning of the novel, Napoleon is not much

They couldn’t believe it. They never thought the day would come. The animals could finally live in peace. They could finally fix the farm the way Old Major and the other farm animals wanted it to be. They went back to the farm they once lived at and saw how bad it had gotten. The windows on the house were all shattered and all of the doors were gone. The barn was discolored and pieces of the roof were gone. The walls of the barn needed to be replaced. Everything was dead and rotting. The animals knew it was going to be hard to fix the farm and grow food. They knew they were going to have to work long and hard to fix the damage that was done to the

What defines a good leader? How they treat people? Or if they have good visions for the future? Leadership does not necessarily gain its definition as having good intentions but more as getting the job and going it efficiently. In Gorge Orwell’s Animal Farm, the pigs lead the rebellion against Farmer Jones but eventually Napoleon takes charge and leads them all. He directed the other animals on the farm and much got accomplished from the time he took charge to the end of the book. Napoleon was not a nice leader, but he was very efficient. Even though Napoleon did not have any moral qualities and broke all the rules of originally made for Animal Farm, he prospered as did the rest of the farm. Napoleon was an effective leader on Animal Farm because

When Major, the leader of the animals dies, Snowball and Napoleon take charge of the farm renaming it Animal Farm. While Snowball has the more level approach to ruling the farm,

This leads to the animals to finally discover his true colors. After Snowball was ran out of the farm all public meetings were canceled. When Napoleon announced, “ that from now on the sunday morning meetings would come to an end. They were unnecessary and wasted time. In the future all questions related to working on the farm would be settled by a special committee of pigs presided over by himself.” , he is no longer allowing the other animals input on situations. When they were under the care of Jones they still has some say on what went on. Now under Napoleon's authority they are left with no say so on what goes on. This shows he only cares about what he has to say. Now that he has stripped the animals of their opinions , his judgement is the only thing that goes. This builds to Napoleon's ego and how he assumes he is above everyone else. He doesn’t care for anyone else unless it somehow benefits him and this shows he abuses his power as

Three characters support the theme. Napoleon, the pig, the protagonist, is the leader of the Animal Farm after the rebellion who uses military force to ensure his power. Snowball, the pig, an antagonist, challenges Napoleon for leadership of the farm, but is less treacherous. Boxer, an antagonist, is a cart-horse whose loyalty and dedication help them build a windmill. Napoleon supports the theme by first revolting against Farmer Jones and then becoming

Napoleon uses propaganda and lies he spreads with Squealer, that all his actions are put forward to the benefit of ‘all’ the animals. Squealer speaks,” Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back!” He creates fear within the animals of Mr.Jones coming back again, and tells them, “Napoleon is always right.” He sees Snowball as a threat to his power, he spreads his words “Comrades, do you know who is responsible for this? Do you know the enemy who has come in the night and overthrown our windmill? SNOWBALL!” He tries to make false information and lies to the common animals. The external conflict between Napoleon and Snowball over power are shown, due to Napoleon’s greeds. Although the common animals of the farm found Snowball more likeable, the nine loyal dogs of Napoleon frightened the animals and strengthened the power of Napoleon allowing him to become the leader after Rebellion. Napoleon is unsatisfied of any ideas rooted from Snowball, brings out his specially trained dogs to go after Snowball. Snowball who does not have a physical force of his own like Napoleon’s, is chased out of the farm allowing Napoleon to become the one and only leader of “Animal Farm”. I feel empathetic to Napoleon some of the time, but to this extent I wouldn’t agree or connect with Napoleon. He uses and exploits other animals for his benefit, and untruly spreads propaganda to keep in power.

As the animals begin the Animal Farm society, everyone is equal. As time passes, it is realized that of all the animals, the pigs are the smartest. This is slowly the beginning of Animal Farm moving froma socialistic socoety to a totalitarian society. Snowball and Napolean are two pigs who are constantly arguing

Napoleon and Snowball from the book Animal Farm by George Orwell share many similarities and differences when compared together. Napoleon who is the dictator leader uses his powers to frighten and control the animals while Snowball is hardworking at developing a plan so it can minimize the animals work. Both pigs have their own similarities and differences but both seem to fight an endless war at being the best.

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

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

One of the most major conflicts between two of the characters on the farm, was the struggle between Napoleon and Snowball having leadership over the farm. A pig versus pig battle. Eventually leading, to Napoleon getting his comrades to drive snowball out of the farm. His plan worked, which then assumed his power over animal farm.

Later, Mr. Jones comes back and tries to reclaim the farm, only to be defeated again in the Battle of the Cowshed. With a renewed confidence, Snowball and Napoleon begin to argue more and more. It is clear now that they are both struggling to be the dominant pig on the farm. Snowball creates the idea of building a windmill that will harness electricity, but Napoleon disagrees. They hold a meeting to let everyone hear their sides and make a final decision. After Snowball gives a strong speech, Napoleon swiftly gives his argument and calls the dogs he took earlier. The dogs he was supposed to educate were really being trained as attack dogs. They chased Snowball off the farm, and left Napoleon in charge.
