Like many sovereigns through the ages who have ruled with fear and control retain supreme power. One example is the pig Napoleon from George Orwell’s book, Animal Farm. Napoleon uses controlling language to force animals into kicking out their farmer Mr. Jones, even if not everyone wants to rebel. The book Animal Farm is an extended metaphor for the Russian revolution. Animal Farm is about a farm where the animals that the farm contains take over, and kick out their farmer Mr. Jones.

Napoleon was an exquisite character in the book: Animal Farm. He overpowered all the animals, and they followed. He was acknowledged as the leader, and the creator as their “Animal Farm”. No humans, no using human-made items, and never lay where a human has laid. Napoleon’s rules were simple. However he grew to the point where he wasn’t even following them, and was changing them as life went on. Animal farm included many instances where Napoleon was commanding as a dictatorship rather than a democracy.
Throughout Animal Farm, George Orwell employs rhetorical devices to construct parallels between the novel and Russia in the early 1900s and when it was under Stalin's reign. These devices, such as syntax, imagery, and language help the audience find the imperfections of Communism and Orwell.
