How Does George Orwell Present Joseph Stalin In Animal Farm

The plot of Animal Farm is made of many events. There is the initial rebellion of the animals against Farmer Jones. This rebellion begins the rest of the story and struggles that come along. The animals are left having to figure out how to run the farm themselves while also keeping law and order. The pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, step up as leaders and create the Seven Commandments which start out as: “1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. 2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. 3. No animal shall wear clothes. 4. No animal shall sleep in a bed. 5. No animal shall drink alcohol. 6. No animal shall kill any other animal. 7. All animals are equal” (Orwell 24). Snowball’s approach to freedom was an idea of complete equality; all the animals worked for their share of the food. Napoleon

Orwell’s Napoleon, is the leader of Animal Farm, who follows the ideas of Old Major, and

The written text ‘Animal Farm’ written by George Orwell is the story of animals that rebel against the human powers that control them. The story is inspired by the Russian revolution where the main character, Napoleon, is representative of Joseph Stalin. Napoleon is a character that helps us to understand many important messages throughout the text, the first being that passion creates change. The second message Napoleon helps us to understand is that power corrupts. The third being the effect a leaders manipulation can have on those they lead.

First, Napoleon showed his effectiveness as a leader because he established trust with the other animals on the farm. No matter if he earned their trust or not, the animals eventually put their faith in every decision he made. One particular animal that showed unending trust in Napoleon was Boxer, a large horse. On many occasions Boxer says, “Ah, that is different! If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right” (58). In this scene Squealer tries to convince the animals that Snowball was against them all along and Boxer has trouble believing that. Finally, after many different ways of trying explaining his reasons, Squealer says that Napoleon told him that Snowball was evil, and Boxer instantly trusts what Squealer said, because it first came

In the Novel animal farm by George Orwell he tells a story about a farm that is taken over by animals, an allegory of the Russian revolution. In this essay I will show how Napoleon represents Stalin and what he did during the Russian revolution.

The novel Animal Farm, by George Orwell, was an allegory about the Russian Revolution in which the author used a farm and it’s members to symbolize major characters and their actions. In this composition, I will reveal to you many of Joseph Stalin’s important contributions and how they relate to the actions of Napoleon from Animal Farm. I will break this topic down into the following three parts, their rise to power, how they maintain power, and how they use and abuse their authority.

The 7 Commandments of Animalism are seen as the rules of the farm. Since the animals could not read or write, besides the pigs and Benjamin the goat, it was easy for Napoleon to change the 7 Commandments to benefit the pigs and himself. For example, “All animals are equal” was changed to, “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others,” (Document A). Some of the animals noticed something different about the Commandments but they never thought too much about it to know something was truly wrong. Since Napoleon used Animalism to his benefit, he persuaded the animals to do as they’re told because he knew the animals believed and supported

At this there was a terrible baying sound outside and nine enormous dogs came bounding into the barn. They dashed straight for Snowball,” with this ousting of Snowball, Napoleon secured his place as dictator of the animals. After securing his position Napoleon was able to gather a group of pigs together that were meant to help him govern the other animals. The pigs were placed in this position because they were considered to be the most intelligent of all the animals. Further political corruption occurred when Napoleon begins to slowly add changes to the 7 laws or commandments set up by a past leader. Because not all the animals on the farm can read it made it easy for Napoleon to change the rules ever so slightly that the changes were barely noticeable. This parallel in today’s society can be seen when comparing under privileged areas to middle class areas, for example emphasis on education. Those with less education are more easily manipulated than those with higher education. It is

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.

George Orwell’s Animal Farm is reflective of Russia during Joseph Stalin’s tyrannical ruling. The story’s antagonist Napoleon leads the Rebellion with Snowball. Once Napoleon overthrows Snowball, he deceives and manipulates the other animals with promise of a life free of restraint and human influence. After gaining their trust, Napoleon capitalizes on the animals’ vulnerabilities and uses his power to better the circumstances of the pigs rather than all animals. Although he initially presents himself as a democratic head, his leadership tactics are that of a dictator. Through examining the syntax and diction characteristic of Orwell’s writing, one can gain a better understanding of the novel’s sociopolitical theme.

The story Animal Farm, isn't just animals trying to prove to humans they're “better” than them. Rather, the villain, Napoleon, getting to show that he is capable of keeping the farm in order, the same way Joseph, Stalin acted during the Russian Revolution.

In the book “Animal Farm,” by George Orwell, the quality of life on the farm slowly decreases as time goes on. It's an allegory of the communist russia as Joseph Stalin took over. The pig Napoleon is a stand-in for Joseph Stalin with his iron fist dictatorship. The revolution that happens in the book sets the stage for the pigs taking ownership of the farm. During the book, Napoleon the pig took over the farm.

So, one Sunday morning while the debates were occurring, Napoleon decided he had had enough of sharing his power with Snowball. He called for his dogs he took and had been training since weaning to suddenly chase Snowball off of the property if not kill him first. This was the beginning of Napoleon’s prolonged and tyrannical reign. From then on the animals are degraded, overworked, underfed, and they begin questioning the pigs’ authority over the farm, but their doubts are somewhat reassured every time by Squealer, a very persuasive pig working for Napoleon. The pigs constantly do things that would break the commandments entirely, however, they manipulate the animals by changing the wording of the rules to allow their illegal actions.
