The main themes in Animal Farm leadership and corruption. Animal Farm portrays the history of the Russian Revolution by retelling the development of communism. In the novel, by overthrowing Mr. Jones, the animals give the power to the pigs who take complete control of the farm. The struggle for superiority between Leon Trotsky, a Russian revolutionary, and Stalin, a Soviet statesman, is portrayed by the rivalry between the pigs, Napoleon and Snowball.

They are allegories to people of the Soviet Union though. Such as Napoleon is Joseph Stalin. Napoleon is Stalin in this book, but he could also be Fidel Castro, Kim Jong Un, and other totalitarian leaders. George Orwell intended this to be Soviet Union specific, but it is flexible to today’s totalitarian governments around the world. “Napoleon is always right”. (Page 27: paragraph 1, Animal Farm). Snowball, who was expelled from the farm, and falsely labelled a traitor by Napoleon, closely is supposed to be Trotsky. One of the main creators of the Soviet Union, who after Lenin died was labelled as a traitor and was deported to Mexico by Stalin. Lastly, there was Old Major. It could be argued that he was Lenin, but he did not live to see the revolution like Lenin did. He also created the concept of Animalism, which is an allegory to Communism, which are both totalitarianism. Which means, Old Major would be Karl Marx. Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848 with Frederick Engels. He was one of the creators of Communism, as Old Major created Animalism. “THREE nights later, Old Major died peacefully in his sleep”. (Page 7: paragraph 1, Animal

Animal farm is a renowned, allegorical novella written by George Orwell in 1945, which can be interpreted to have a hidden political meaning behind it referring to the Russian Revolution. Throughout this novella, the author purposely positions the audience to make judgements based on sensible, moral perception to show that Orwell effectively revealed how the pigs exploited a vast majority of propaganda techniques to deceptively manipulate the values, attitudes and beliefs of the other animals, with full intention of complete social control. This was exposed to the reader when the three main values of ‘Animalism’, as outlined in Old Major's speech, which consists of freedom, unity and equality, are abused for the pigs own advantage. This task

Later, in both the book and the revolution, their current persons of authority were overthrown. Many characters in Animal Farm symbolize real people from the Russian Revolution: “He [Snowball] may be likened to Leon Trotsky, who was a major force behind the Russian Revolution” (Gillespie). Not only were Snowball and Trotsky were both good strategists and organizers, they took their words and put them into action. While they were good leaders, they were not good at listening to opinions of others. The act of overlooking an opinion often leads to the oppression of the on being overlooked.

Influenced by authors such as Charles Dickens and H.G. Wells, George Orwell wrote Animal Farm to shed light on the cruelties and hypocrisies of the Soviet Communist Party. Animal Farm allegorizes the rise to power of the Russian dictator Joseph Stalin by placing the story in a farm setting, where each animal represents a big part of the Soviet Union. In this case, the pigs overthrow their human oppressor and take power, as did the Soviets. The battle for predominance between Leon Trotsky and Stalin emerges in the rivalry between the pigs Snowball and Napoleon. The action of the pigs in the story directly represents the action of the Soviets; Stalin's tyrannical rule and abandonment of the original principles of the Russian Revolution are represented

“History consists of a series of swindles, in which he masses are first lured into revolt by the promise of utopia, and then, when they have done their job, enslaved over again by new masters” (Brander). Animal Farm, a farm with animals that are treated cruelly and dream for a better life in which animals are all equal and independent of depraved humans, is an allegory of the development of communism, even totalitarianism. After successfully driving away Mr. Jones, the cruel, tyrannous, drunken owner of the farm, the animals, with the pigs acting as leaders for their superior intelligence, believe they are going to be rewarded with the certainty of living in an

In the historical fiction film based on George Orwell's animal farm, the author touches base with the days of the USSR and how Stalin came to power. To begin, the animals are shown living on a farm which consists of no food or water because of selfish Farmer Jones. Jones would fall under the ranks of Czar Nicholas II because of his inability to take care of his animals (Russian people). After Jones is asleep, a pig named “Old Major” who appears to be dying rants to his fellow animals about the wrongfulness of Jones. Old Major takes the role of Karl Marx as he was the one to tell the farm to rise up.

Whose the great leader of animal farm? Animal farm is an allegorical novel based on the Russian Revolution about a group of animals wanting to rebel against an evil tyrant. Two of the pigs in the novel take leadership roles, and have very different leadership characteristics. The animal character, Snowball, is symbolic of the Russian leader Trotsky, while Napoleon is a symbol of the Russian leader Stalin. In the beginning, they both want to get out from under the tyrannical rule of Mr.Jones.

“The creatures outside 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. (141)” What George Orwell wrote in the very end of Animal Farm. Animal Farm represented the Russian revolution, talking about a farm taken over by mistreated animals led by the pigs, Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer. However, instead of getting united as they had intended, the pigs become just like the humans, which they hated.

Animal Farm is an allegory to communist Russia throughout the early to mid 1900s. Led by Old Major, a wise pig that represents Karl Marx, the founder of the socialism, the animals on Manor Farm try to establish a self-sufficient farm run by animals with no outside human contact. This “self-sufficient farm” called Animal Farm was focused on creating a system where everyone is equal and happy, and no animal could be above any other animal. However, what happened in Russia as well as other communist countries, was that the interim government that existed to facilitate the change to socialism became venal and didn't care or pay attention to the social equality of all the people. The interim government, represented by pigs in Animal Farm did not give up their power, leading to the oppressive governmental system called communism. Additionally, in Animal Farm, the communist “pigs”, Snowball and Napoleon, did not pay attention to the growing social gap as they grew more powerful on the farm and ended up going against their original philosophies to keep all animals

It tells the story of the revolution of the animals living on Manor Farm. A pig named Napoleon rises to become the totalitarian leader of the farm, which is renamed Animal Farm, after the lazy, alcoholic farmer is run off. Animal farm is an allegory for the October Revolution and Stalin's regime in Russia. It is a novel in which "every detail has political significance" (Meyers 133). Napoleon the Pig, representing Stalin, gradually tears down the precepts upon which Animal Farm has been founded and eventually returns the farm to a condition almost worse than before, with the pigs whipping, killing, and starving the other animals.

The Russian revolution is shown in the book to be the expulsion of Mr Jones, the civil war as the battle of the cowshed, Stalin begins a dictatorship shown to be the building of the windmill and Trotsky getting exiled as the elected leader snowball being chased and barred from the farm. These all show that Animal Farm is a symbolic story and has most of the main events of the revolution shown in the book. Even the characters in the book shown the qualities and dreams of people involved in the Russian Revolution with Leo Trotsky having the same intensions and attitudes as Snowball, Joseph Stalin only cared for power like

John F. Kennedy has said that, “Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.” In fruitless endeavors to model perfect equality in its community, communism inevitably ends up enslaving the people it impacts. Animal Farm perfectly depicts this progressive transition from rebellion to organized authoritarianism in reference to the rise of communism present in the early twentieth century by drawing a most curious yet competent parallel to the typical animals who hold residence throughout the peaceful pastures of Manor Farm. Consequently, a representative cycle naturally beginning with steadfast revolution and ending in systematic corruption can be evaluated between the two.

The story of “Animal Farm” interpreted the events of the Russian revolution and the political standings within the Soviet Union by comparing it to how farm animals would act if they had power. It is considered an allegory because it is a story that is trying to reveal a hidden message. Within the book, Manor Farm is a metaphor for Russia. Tsar Nicholas II was portrayed as Mr. Jones. Tsar Nicholas II was the last emperor of Russia before the revolution took place. The leader of the Bolshevik Party, V.I.Lenin was portrayed as old major. An ally of Lenin was Leon Trotsky which was portrayed as Snowball. Napolean, the pig, was a comparison of Joseph Stalin. Napolean’s
