Some examples of adverse situations in this story include Jones coming back to the farm to take it back, Pilkington attacking the farm, and Napoleon driving Snowball out of the farm. The villain of this story is made to be Napoleon but at first the villain appears to be Mr. Jones because of how badly he treated his animals. Reading later in the middle of the story, we find out that Napoleon is just as abusive as Mr. Jones which deems him the main villain. Some characters that would be considered heroic in the book are Boxer, Clover, and Snowball. How Clover made it through the worst times in the book and remained present throughout the story, we could conclude that Clover is the main hero. The supporting characters are all of the remaining animals on the farm. Because Animal Farm has the types of characters consistent with a fairy tale, this book is still able to be considered a fairy tale
George Orwell’s Animal Farm is, first and foremost, a political satire warning against the pursuit of utopian desires through unjust and oppressive means. Operating under the pretense of an animal fable, Orwell disparages the use of political power to poach personal freedom. He effectively alerts his readers to the dangerous price that can accompany the so-called “pursuit of progress”. And he illuminates how governments acting under the guise of increasing independence often do just the opposite: increase oppression and sacrifice sovereignty. While the cautionary theme Orwell provides proves widely applicable, in reality his novel focuses on one tale of totalitarian abuse: Soviet Russia. The parallels between the society Orwell presents in his Animal Farm and the Soviet Union – from the Russian revolution to Stalin’s supremacy – are seemingly endless. Manor Farm represents Tsarist Russia, Animalism compares to Stalinism, and Animal Farm, with the pig Napoleon at its helm, clearly symbolizes Communist Russia and Joseph Stalin. But Orwell does more than simply align fiction with fact. He fundamentally attacks Soviet Russia at its core. And in so doing he reveals how the Communist Party simply replaced a bad system with a worse one, overthrowing an imperial autocracy for a totalitarian dictatorship. This essay will demonstrate that Orwell’s Animal Farm is
Then there's Jones the previous owner of the farm that was like any other farmer and just wanted to make a profit. But sadly last is the animals like Boxer who just want to live their lives wanting freedom and justice. In general the main group of animals want to build the windmill and work little too not at all. The pigs on the other hand want to take over the farm.
Animal Farm is a book about a group of animals who started a revolution against the tyranny of their farmer. The animals ran Mr. Jones out of the farm, along with all of his men. Then they started their own government following 7 commandments. It was a challenge for the animals, and they faced many difficulties. There were Sunday debates, and they spent many hours working to get food. One day, a pig named Napoleon had taken control of the farm using the dogs he had hid from society. Napoleon slaughtered those who disobeyed him and ordered everyone around. Once again, the animals were being tyrannised. Still, none of the animals stood up because of fear. Therefore, not standing up for oneself can lead to negative outcomes. For example, Benjamin never spoke up, the life and death of Boxer and Mr. Jones had tyrannised the animals.
The quote implies that animals are better creatures than humans. After being assaulted by humans, the animals don’t want any characteristics of humans to be inputted in them. They say, “Four legs good, two legs bad,” to make humans a disgrace to animals. This rule is a part of the seven commandments of animalism. It is said to remind the animals of never stand on two feet because then you are developing human characteristics. Birds in this case are different, because the animals count wings as another pair of legs. The phrase was originally a longer statement. It took up two of the seven commandments. By simplifying the statements, it was easier for the other animals to understand. The knowledge of reading is used as propaganda by classifying the difference between the pigs who could read, and the other animals who couldn’t read.
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.

After the death of Henry’s third wife Jane Seymour, Cromwell advised a new political marriage for the king. To pursue his own advantage and build Protestant connections in Europe, Cromwell suggested the king take a German bride.
