Napoleon Animal Farm

Napoleon is talking and celebrating with the humans. They are playing games and toasting to the peace between the humans and Napoleon, when Napoleon starts changing. The animals outside were confused because they “looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which” (Orwell 141). When Napoleon became more corrupt, he acted more like the humans. He was being friendly to the farmers as if he was one of them. Napoleon’s corruption was shown by him becoming a human. He did not care about the other animals, he just used them to get money. The rebellion against Mr. Jones was the animals trying to be free. The animals had freedom until Napoleon became corrupt. He was an animal just like the rest of the farm, then he took Mr. Jones’s place. Napoleon turning into a human is Napoleon becoming fully corrupt. Napoleon’s appearance shows how corrupt he has

This is proven multiple times where they use the animals for labor and are cutting down the amount of food they are provided with. An example of this is with the dogs that had been taken from their mothers, and that “it was noticed that they wagged their tails to him in the same way as the other dogs had been used to do to Mr. Jones.” This shows that the animals look up to Napoleon the way that the dogs used to look up to their former master, Mr. Jones. Napoleon had used the dogs to get rid of Snowball, training them to do as he says and to follow him, as if he is superior, which breaks the last of the seven commandments, that all animals are

Joseph Stalin, the leader of Russia during the Russian revolution, and Napoleon, head of the Animal Farm, have a more association than any other character in Animal Farm or historical political figure. Napoleon and Stalin share character traits like intelligence, leadership, and devotion. Napoleon had many followers on the Animal Farm just as Stalin had devoted followers that admired him. Napoleon and Stalin, however, did not make everyone happy. The enemy that Stalin had to deal during the Revolution was Leon Trotsky. Trotsky disapproved of what Stalin was doing with Russia and it's citizens. In Animal Farm, Napoleon had to deal with Snowball. Joseph Stalin was a big supporter of communism and Napoleon had similar beliefs but the government was called Animalism. With many similarities, these two figures were not the exact same but the author, George Orwell, created Napoleon in Stalin's image.

He wants full leadership of the farm and will stop at nothing less. Napoleon makes the animals believe that if they follow him he will lead them to a luxurious human free life. Soon they will find

Firstly, Napoleon uses manipulation to generate a cult of personality in the Animal Farm. Napoleon directly shows how he manipulated the animals as he believed “...[weaker] animals on Animal Farm did more work and [would] receive less food than any animals in the country” (92).Napoleon shows how he only cares about himself as he uses the animals. He would make the animals do labour to support himself and to be powerful.The animals would agree to everything that he said because they believed that Napoleon wanted the best for them. Napoleon made the animals believe that they were in better conditions even though “starvation seemed to stare them in the face.” (50). He did a great job to hid the reality from the animals. His thoughts and

By the end of the novel, Napoleon is sleeping in Jones' bed, eating from Jones' plate, drinking alcohol, wearing a hat, walking on two legs, trading with humans, and sharing a toast with Mr. Pilkington. His final act of propaganda — changing the Seventh Commandment to "ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL / BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS" — reflects his unchallenged belief that he belongs in complete control of the farm. His restoration of the name Manor Farm shows just how much Napoleon has wholly disregarded the words of old Major. He never wants to achieve old Major’s goals or let animals have a better

The undeniable greed Napoleon possesses can only be fulfilled by giving the other animals the illusion of bettering themselves by not questioning his logic: “Boxer, who had now had time to think things over, voiced the general feeling by saying, ‘If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right.’ And from then on he adopted the maxim, ‘Napoleon is always right,’ in addition to his private motto of ‘I will work harder’” (Orwell 60). Because Animal Farm’s audience predominantly consists of working class citizens, they begin to feel sympathy for Boxer since he cannot recognize Napoleon is exploiting him exclusively for his personal goal of becoming a puissant leader; therefore, animosity towards Napoleon develops in the audience. Considering the animals promptly welcome Napoleon’s promise of a better life, they work towards exhaustion, unknowingly fueling Napoleon’s greed: "All that year the animals worked like slaves. But they were happy in their work; they grudged no effort or sacrifice, well aware that everything that they did was for the benefit of themselves and those of their kind who would come after them, and not for a pack of idle, thieving human beings" (63). Although the animals working for Napoleon are unaware he is gradually becoming more human and willfully betraying his fellow animals for his own benefit, it is evident to the audience that Napoleon is corrupt. As Napoleon cunningly achieves power, his greed continues to grow, the same as a totalitarian leader’s:

While Napoleon was gaining power over the animals he had to get rid of other politicians and opposing citizens. He did this by raising dogs that would strike fear into citizens and end up chasing Snowball out of the farm making Napoleon have total power. “Four young porkers…uttered shrill squeals of disapproval…. But…the dogs sitting round Napoleon let out deep, menacing growls, and the pigs fell silent and sat down again.”(document B). This made it so the animals were too scared to oppose or overthrow Napoleon. He also made it so no one could challenge him politically. He did this by having his dogs kill masses of people so no one would dare have different opinions and speak out against him. “When they had finished their confession, the dogs promptly tore their throats out, and in a terrible voice, Napoleon demanded whether any other animal had anything to confess”(document B). The mass murder made it so Napoleon had total control of the farm. The violence of Napoleon’s leadership caused the animals to fear to have their own opinions and forced them to conform to Napoleon’s

He gave them the false inspiration and hope that they were working for to stay free. This is what Hitler did to the Jews who were able to work, he had in his concentration camps say “work to be free”, but in reality he did not have the intention to set them free. The reason as to why the animals did not rebel was for two reasons. One being that they just were not educated at all and the other reason is because Napoleon has an immense amount of fierce dogs around him at all times. This made him an intimidating pig. The animals were oblivious to the corruption around them that he shrugged off a fellow animal dying by another simply because Napoleon said it was fine and the Commandments said that it was exceptional. The dumbest of the animals was a horse named boxer. Because he was the strongest of the farm animals, what he said greatly influenced the others animals, and because he was on the side of Napoleon the other animals followed. There were many times were the animals would have revolted without Boxer present, but after he died, it was too late to turn back. He inspired the animals by constantly saying, “I will work harder”, and, “Napoleon is always right”. This often concluded questions regarding Napoleon’s style of handling business.

He controls them, yet they don't fully understand what they are being forced to do. Napoleon represents Stalin, who was one of the harshest rulers of Russia. He ran a complete communist country. In the novel, it says that the animals had no idea that they were being controlled. At one point in the book, Napoleon even made the farm a republic.

Napoleon who is demanding and overpowering pig always put himself first he believes that he Animal Farm leader and praises himself for things he done for the animals. He is an example of dictatorial leader because he is greedy for power and is also corrupted. Napoleon doesn’t show interest in the welfare of the animals. In the book

On page 92 the quote "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." I believe that this shows Napoleon's true intentions, to make one species of animal seem to be at higher power than another. After all of this time he was blaming things on Snowball and making it seem like he wanted the best for the farm, but really he just wanted the best for himself. for a leader of an area, he only wanted to make himself look good and didn't care how much work the animals had to do.

In the beginning of the book the farm was run by Jones, who owned the farm, until old major said his speech about animalism and equality. Napoleon was a young pig when the revolution happened and liked the way of animalism. Animalism was focused on having a working normal life with every animal on the farm being equal. After old major died, snowball took lead over

Napoleon has broken many laws and made some of the worst cruel laws that affected the animal community at first the original plan was to help every animal as much as they could but Napoleon decided to become an arrogant leader and terrorize Animal Farm he is outnumbering himself with bodyguards which are dogs so when someone wants to step up and overthrown him he can release the dogs and kill him. In the early pages of Chapter 5, Snowball was suppose to be the leader after he shared his bravery in the Battle of the Cowshed, he has the ability to make better speeches, and make better ideas to benefit the community. After, Napoleon became jealous and decided to use the dogs against Snowball to chase him off possibly wanting to murder him this is one major part when Napoleon used the dogs to

In the beginning, he supports Old Major’s beliefs. His taste of power drew him towards a dictatorship. Napoleon eventually becomes more oppressive towards the animals. Napoleon “rarely appeared in public, but spent all his time in the farmhouse, which was guarded at each door by fierce-looking dogs” (Orwell 68). He creates a feeling of intimidation and fear. By the end of the story, Napoleon behaves no differently than humans. The animals of the farm shockingly looked from pig to human “...but already it was impossible to say which was which” (Orwell 124). Napoleon does not treat the animals as equals. He fought against the humans, but eventually becomes exactly like
