How Does Napoleon Corrupt In Animal Farm

How would you feel if your leader did not treat you as equal as his people? In Animal Farm by George Orwell, Napoleon treated his people as if they were more important than the other animals. He changed the rules, to rules in which he desired. The animals were not intelligent enough to realize who Napoleon was brainwashing them to live as he wanted them to live. Napoleon took control of Animal Farm by using the Seven Commandments, dogs to make the animals fear him, and Squealer as propaganda. Through these ways, Napoleon maintained full power of Animal Farm.

The animals want to escape humans, but what happens when one of their own turns on them? The story Animal Farm by George Orwell, Is about the animals on Mr. Jones's Manor Farm. The Oldest pig is Old Major, and he describes a dream he had. His dream was of the animals rebelling against the humans. A few days later, Old major dies in his sleep and Two new pigs take power, Snowball and Napoleon. Then make the rules of Animalism called the seven amendments. Napoleon wants to be in full control, so he uses guard dogs he raised to banish Snowball and then lies and says Snowball is a “bad guy”. Napoleon continues to change things until he is the unquestioned ruler of the farm. The theme corruption can change people. The story shows this through Napoleon's dialogue, actions, and appearance.

Two years later Napoleon conquered Pilkington and Fredrick’s farm. The humans on the farms were treated like the animals and starving to death. The animals that were working on the farm have left because they no longer wanted to live under Napoleon’s rule, or died from starvation and cruelty. Napoleon is mad because the animals are gone, the humans are dying and no work is getting done on the farm. Since no one was working and Napoleon was starving he ordered the dogs to kill Squealer for food. Napoleon had turned to cannibalism.

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.

Can a leader manipulate you to believe everything he or she says? In the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, Napoleon develops a cult of personality, as he became a dictator of Animal Farm. Napoleon took control of the Farm as he began to establish powerful and caring traits, those as would be shown in a leader. Important aspects of Napoleon becoming a dictator can be attributed to his cult of personality by him being charismatic. Napoleon uses manipulation,deception, and being hypocritical.  Napoleon uses other animals to support him in his decisions for the Farm. The actions shows Napoleon's personality and speech help support his plans..The desire to move ahead can cause change in opinion and mislead you to believe in the wrong path.

Napoleon being another intelligent pig on the farm believed he could become the leader and have all the power on the farm by scaring the animals. He does so by telling the animals they will work more or there will be punishment “Throughout the spring they worked a sixty-hour week, and in August Napoleon announced that there would be work on Sunday afternoons as well. This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his rations reduced by half” (Orwell 40). “The animals believe what the leadership tells them—that they are working for their own good now, not for Mr. Jones’s—they are eager to take on the extra labor”

From the very beginning, Napoleon and the pigs take charge and make the other animals do the work for them, while the pigs just supervise. In chapter three, when they begin working on plowing the fields, the pigs do not do anything other than tell the others what to do, “The pigs did not actually work, but directed and supervised the other” (20). The pigs, from the very start of animal farm, took charge and only directed and told others what to do. They solidified their positions as leader’s right at the beginning of the farm. Also, at the end of the book, the pigs, to show their leadership, carry whips around to make sure the work gets done, “After that it did not seem strange when next day the pigs who were supervising the work of the farm all carried whips in their trotters” (92). Since the creation of the farm the pigs started to slowly present the fact that they would take charge, and in the beginning when they were nice about it no one argued with them. By the end though, the animals finally realized what had happened, but by then it was too late for them to do anything about it. Admittedly, Napoleon and the rest of the pigs are greedy because they take all the extra food and make the others work like slaves, but that does not make them ineffective in the ways they make the animals work. Napoleon showed his effectiveness as a

When thinking about pigs, you generally associate them with being dirty, repulsive and gluttonous. Well, that's Napoleon. In the novel, Animal Farm, by George Orwell Napoleon is a pig on Manor Farm who slowly exerts power over others and begins his reign as a dictator. Napoleon takes over and renames the farm Animal Farm while being completely deceptive and unfair. Napoleon is a prime example of how absolute power corrupts absolutely because he is unjust and doesn't care for the wellbeing of any of the other animals on the farm but himself.

After reading the book called Animal farm, it is plain to see that Napoleon is a very sly animal. He is clever —clever enough not to play much a role in the initial rebellion. It is only after the animals have rebelled that he took the leadership role. But did he actually do the right things to win the power?

Napoleon, the revolutionary leader, was a power hungry and abusive pig. When the animals wouldn’t listen he had to have them follow his rules and visions. He brainwashed the animals into believing whatever he said, threatened them and used popular animals to convey his desires. As dictatorship was the most prominent form of governing during the revolution, the leader used techniques to influence the animals’ opinion.

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” (Lord Acton) This quote is telling us that when people get into the roles of absolute power they tend to become corrupt, as a result of that power. This quote can be applied to Napoleon from the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, because at the beginning of the novel Old Major’s words inspired Napoleon. As a result, he believed that humans were evil for forcing animals to work for them and that animals should be able to live freely, not under anyone’s control; however, as the story progresses his belief changed and the animals did not get to live their utopian dream.

The animals were not fed enough, there pens and huts were not closed because he was too drunk to notice.The animals gave the humans milk,eggs,meat more workers and they got nothing in return.The animals have to do everything because man I to weak to pull a plough and not fast enough to catch a rabbit or herd the

After the revolution, Manor Farm was renamed to Animal Farm and the Seven Commandments of animalism were established to ensure equality. The pigs became the supervisors of the farm. However, the rivalry between two pigs Snowball and Napoleon made Napoleon use force. Napoleon ordered his dogs to chase out Snowball from the farm in order to become the only leader. Napoleon’s selfishness and corrupt power made him commit different atrocities against his own comrades. As a result, the lives of the animals except for the pigs and dogs were of tyranny and inequality. Napoleon became worse than their former human master. The animals spent the rest of his life almost starving and working in the construction of the windmill that was destroyed several times. The abolishment of Sunday morning meetings, the public execution of animals, and the drinking of alcohol were the most important changes that facilitated the transformation of animal farm, and Napoleon as the most responsible for the downfall of the utopian vision of Animal Farm.

After reading this novel it opened my eyes to how things can change over time also how people can begin to worship one person and not process thoughts for themselves. In this book there was many followers and only one leader thought-out the book. George Orwell made everybody at the beginning of the book equal but towards the end things started to change. In Animal Farm, the author George Orwell uses selfishness and manipulation of the leaders and by the followers being persuaded to contribute to the loss of freedom and equality in order to show how people can become so dependent on one person.

“After a moment, however, snowball and Napoleon butted the door open with their shoulders and the pigs entered in a single file, walking with the utmost care for fear of anything.” (Pg. 14) The pigs now had the farm house to themselves and many more advantages was about to happen. He started to treat the pigs better and the other animals were treated
