Is Napoleon A Good Leader

Napoleon Bonaparte is one of history’s most known figures. Napoleon Bonaparte was a hero to all people of France. Napoleon did a lot to help the people of France out with keeping the country safe. He also agreed with the French Revolution. Before Napoleon it was chaotic, and terrible.

Other people argue about either Napoleon is a hero or an evil tyrant. In my opinion, I believe that he is a hero because Napoleon led the French to be successful in battles with his clever strategies. Before Napoleon’s army would go into combat, he would make up a new scheme every time, so the other armies could not figure out what there plan was. Another good example of Napoleon being a great conqueror was when he moved from victories general to political leader.

Napoleon Bonaparte was an undeniably strong leader of France, however he was not truthful to his inferiors who gave him his power. Napoleon believed he was the master of France and that he had complete power of the country. He looked down upon his peers and the other citizens of France. Bonaparte gained his popularity by standing with the common people during the revolutionary period of France but did not continue with the views he expressed during this period when he became Emperor. Napoleon Bonaparte had many views and beliefs that made him an absolute dictator of France including, making every decision himself, being above everyone in the class systems, and manipulating the citizens of France.

Napoleon made excellent use of his second-in-command Squealer’s abilities at speaking eloquently and convincingly to make propaganda. Squealer would make the other animals think that they were better off

Napoleon Bonaparte was a great leader until he took his power too far. He helped France get out of their debt and also won multiple territories from winning wars. He continued to strengthen France with his great leadership and military strategies. Eventually, though, he began to abuse his power. He proceeded through a war, without forfeit and experienced a great defeat. During his time of power Napoleon was a paradox. Napoleon’s fall from being a great leader taught us that, sometimes when people get too used to having so much power and authority, they may abuse their powers to a large extent.

Overall Snowball was a better leader than Napoleon. He had the potential to the Rebellion going. Snowball showed lots of the attributes to a good leader. He was a good speaker and listener, fair, gave constructive

Three of the character traits I describe Napoleon are hypocrite, weak, and a great leader. “Napoleon announce that the windmill was to be built after all… Why then asked somebody, had he spoken strongly against it?” (Orwell pg. 51-52). Although at first, Napoleon strongly opposed to Snowball’s idea of the windmill, he later on ordered the animals of the creation of the windmill. Without his subordinate, Squealer, the animals would have suspected something about him. “Once again the animals were conscious of a vague uneasiness. Never to have any dealings with human beings… The four young pigs who had protested when Napoleon abolished the Meetings raised their voice timidly, but they were silenced by a tremendous growling from the dogs” (Orwell

Throughout the story, you see the way that the pig, Squealer, gives information to the “lowly” animals. He tells them what the leading pig, Napoleon, wants them to know, but he tells it in a way that it seems they are benefitting. Squealer had a way of persuading the other animals to listen to him, through his actions and manipulation. “The best known among them was a small, fat pig named Squealer, with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements and a shrill voice. He was a brilliant talker, and when he was arguing some difficult point he had a way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail, which was somehow very persuasive. The others said of Squealer that he could turn black to white.”

Snowball: He is a pig who was challenging Napoleon because the other animals were with and loyal to him. He was also at the position of leadership before he had to run away.

Napoleon Bonaparte, an influential leader of France, was a man of many facets. On one the one hand, Napoleon was a strong leader who created durable institutions and strengthened France, but on the other, there is a more pitiful view of Napoleon. The view of Napoleon was initially very positive: he viewed himself as a protector of the people, and the people saw this too; however, over time, this image was greatly worsened, due to military hardship.

Three characters support the theme. Napoleon, the pig, the protagonist, is the leader of the Animal Farm after the rebellion who uses military force to ensure his power. Snowball, the pig, an antagonist, challenges Napoleon for leadership of the farm, but is less treacherous. Boxer, an antagonist, is a cart-horse whose loyalty and dedication help them build a windmill. Napoleon supports the theme by first revolting against Farmer Jones and then becoming

Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the land generals in history whose legacy lives to date. His story is one of the greatest stories in European history. He was born off the Island of Italy as a son of a minor noble. When he joined the French army, he quickly rose to higher ranks and gained power that made him become an emperor in control of France and conquered most parts of Europe (Lyons, 1994). He did this out of his skills and abilities that put him in a good position to seize favorable conditions to his advantage. During his life, he showed different good principles from which anyone can learn from, but also exhibited traits that have been common among dictatorial leaders who abuse the powers vested on them.

Napoleon Bonaparte is often characterized as one of the most brilliant and influential military leader in all of history. Known mostly for his diminutive stature and extraordinary military skill, Napoleon Bonaparte is commonly recognized today for his great accomplishments and works regarding the country of France. Though he achieved many great things, the successfulness of this leader is often still debated all across the world. Many believe he was unsuccessful and arrogant while others argue that Napoleon’s great skill shaped the world as it is known today. Though there are numerous conflicting viewpoints throughout the world, Napoleon’s successfulness is more prominent, for his reforms to the country of France and military dominance set him apart from all other preceding leaders.

Squealer, the appointed speaker among the pigs, uses propaganda as a way to gain power. The animals describe Squealer as “a brilliant talker… he could turn black into white” (16). He was to make sure the animals believe that Napoleon is a righteous leader, even though in reality he is not. An example of how Squealer uses propaganda to abuse his power is when he made excuses for the animal’s reduced rations. “He had no difficulty in proving to the other animals that they were not in reality short of food...it had been found necessary to make a readjustment of rations...in comparison with the days of Jones, the improvement was enormous” (112-113). Even though the animal’s

The most interesting character I found was Squealer. My reasons being, he served Napoleon following everything he said. Whist using excuses and lies to justify Napoleon’s treacherous acts. This made him to be like an under-dog whose purpose was to corrupt, exploit and confuse the other animals on the farm.
