George Orwell's Animal Farm

Intelligence and Power. These two concepts are closer than most think. Many political figures use their intelligence to get their position in society. However, many use their intelligence for the sake of themselves and not for others. Their intelligence is what lead them to power and power is what polluted their mind.

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.

Elie Wiesel in Night and Snowball from Animal Farm are very similar characters because they were victimized by tyrants and used as scapegoats, but they are also unique and individual characters because Elie knew he was being taken advantage of and Snowball did not. Animal Farm is written by George Orwell, and it is about a farm of animals that take over the farm. Napoleon, a large pig, slowly takes away food and supplies from the other animals until he starts walking on two feet and becomes a “human.” Because of him Snowball is expelled from the farm and acts as a scapegoat for everything that goes wrong on the farm. Night is an autobiography written by Elie Wiesel, and in it Elie tells the story of he was taken from his home and put into a concentration camp under the control of Adolf Hitler.

Napoleon stated that he will educate the puppies, and help build the windmill to make life easier in the farm, made the animals think that Napoleon is a hard worker and always right. He uses that advantage to create dictatorship within the farm. By having the support of the pigs by his side, he is able to convince the community that is always right. By creating propaganda of praise by the animals, he becomes a symbol of hope to the community. When Boxer stated Napoleon is always right, so did the rest of the animals since Boxer was seen as a symbol of strength for the

     Blind obedience plays a role in Napoleon's rise to power. Because the animals don't have an education, they don't bother to think for themselves and instead take everything Squealer tells them for the truth. Examples of this are mainly portrayed by Boxer, who upholds the mottos "I will work harder!" and "Napoleon is always right!" (81). At the beginning of the novel, we learn that the sheep learn the maxim "Four legs good, two legs bad" in order to understand the basic spirit of Animalism (41). When Napoleon gains power, he

The slogan “Four legs good, two legs bad!”<50> (This was later changed to a chilling “Four legs good, two legs better!) and the songs “Beasts of England”, and “Comrade Napoleon” are all good examples of manipulative propaganda. When Napoleon slaughters the “Supporters of Snowball”, the animals are grief-stricken, and sing “Beasts of England” as if singing a dirge; slowly, mournfully, and with much emotion. When they are done, Squealer waddles up to them, and tells them that the song has been banned. From Napoleons point of view, this is a very good move. The animals, though stupid, have an idea that this is not the dream Old Major envisioned, and they do not know what to do about it. If they had been allowed to keep singing it, they might have been inspired to rebel, but it was outlawed, so they have no outlet for their injustices. This is just another way power is abused through language in Animal Farm.

Animal Farm is a book written by author George Orwell who was against any form of extreme left or right politics. The book is written as an allegory of the Soviet Union by using animals as a means to get his message across. The book starts with a very strong speech from the “animal leader” Old Major. He talks about how Animalism will rise and that “All men are enemies. All animals are comrades” (Orwell, 6). The animals use Old Major’s speech as motivation to revolt against the owner of the farm Mr Jones. Throughout the book there are moments where the reader can see Animalism beginning to fail. The failure of Animalism does not lie solely on the pigs but more on the “lesser” animals of animal farm because of their insistence on believing the

Power is something that many people are greedy for, and according to George Orwell, some people are more power hungry than others. In the novel, Animal Farm, the author, George Orwell, shows how a person which is greedy for power will use others to get as much power as they can. The few people who have the quality of egocentricity and greediness for power is exactly what prevents a communist community. One will use duped, innocent, and quiet people to get themselves to become more powerful which is shown through the character named Napoleon. Certain people would go to any extent for dictatorship which includes using others. The animals Boxer, Benjamin, and the sheep are three animals that Napoleon uses and contribute to Napoleon’s dictatorship

Introduction: A community of animals live in a totalitarian regime dictated by a boar that goes by the name of Napoleon. Throughout the book, he gradually develops human traits, such as executing animals in public, drinking alcohol, engaging in trade, touching money and sleeping in beds, causing the animals to believe that they are being led by creatures indistinguishable to humans. In order to maintain his position as a leader, Napoleon uses different forms of propaganda to keep his ignorant animals from rebelling against him.

Animal Farm begins with an idea of rebellion thought up by the most respected animal; Old Major, after revolution/rebellion of Manor Farm to Animal Farm. The animal’s true characters begin to show and Animal Farm begins to show the same qualities of Manor Farm. A dictatorial government comes into play and the animals develop the human like qualities that they were trying to rid themselves of. The resurrection of Manor Farm after the revolution was due to the tyrannical behavior of Napoleon and his ability to convince the other animals that everything he was doing was for the best.

Throughout history, there were not many laws people abided by. Karl Marx decided to come up with a theory called Marxism. Karl wanted to come up with a theory that explained the value of all commodities. Karl wanted to make a system that allowed farmers and workers to sell products for capitalists for a wage. This is comparable to the commandments that the pigs created in Animal Farm.

The 1917 Russian Revolution was recreated through the novel, Animal Farm, written by George Orwell. Despite the fact that Orwell used animals as his soldiers to fight the rebellion, there are a number of characters that represent real people. “George Orwell’s use of the fable form helps the reader go beyond the details of one revolution and examine the elements of human nature which produce a Stalin and enable him to seize power. ”(Robb) In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, Old Major represents Karl Marx and Marxism, the political and economical theories of Karl Marx.

This book was very peculiar. The characters had very different, strong personalities that mixed well within the book creating an interesting story. They all stood out in their own way, but overall one was far more prominent. Squealer stood out because of his job and how he did it. Although trustworthy, he was a very manipulative and exaggerated person.
