The animals in Animal Farm decide to rebel against the humans from their cruel and unfair ways. The pig Old Major persuaded them to rebel for the new government "Animalism". The pigs, most notably Napoleon and Snowball, are very persuasive and can utilize publicity and manipulation to achieve their personal goals. In addition, they seem to take advantage of the fact that the other animals are ignorant and highly dependent on authority. I'm not sure if the pigs are really "good" leaders in the sense that they are moral and just. Perhaps a different adjective would be more accurate. Napoleon seems to be the true leader of Animal Farm - he's the one who gives the inspirational speeches (besides the speech Old Major made), rallies the animals to revolt in support of "Animalism", and creates the illusion that Snowball is causing many of their misfortune. He also uses …show more content…
They are able to mask their consolidation of power into making others believe that they are "good leaders." Through the work of pigs like Squealer, Napoleon is able to convince the animals of his authenticity of leadership as well as how he is looking out for the animals' interest. In reality, Napoleon and the other pigs are only convinced of securing and enhancing their own power. Yet, they are able to persuade the animals that strengthening the pigs' power is aligned with the advancement of the cause of all animals in the pursuit of animalism tenets. This is effective leadership from the most pragmatic point of view because it is able to secure one's own position with the security of public support or silencing the power of dissent. In the end, I am not sure if Orwell sees this as necessarily "good," but rather a statement on how modern leadership is effective in pursuing its own agenda while being able to convince the body politic that its presence actually advances its own

In the book Animal Farm the animals take over the farm shutting out Mr. Jones. Then the pigs tell the animals that they are more intelligent and know how to read and write so therefore they should be the leaders of the farm. The animals basically a agree without any objections in play. This doesn’t include Snowball and Napoleon. These two are always fighting and debating about what needs to be done. Which all leads to the pigs gaining power.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” (Mandela). Napoleon realizes this truth and takes full advantage of it early on in the story. In George Orwell’s allegorical novel Animal Farm, Napoleon seizes control of the now-independent farm. He allows the pigs to be educated and excludes the others. However, he personally educates some puppies, foreseeing them as a powerful weapon to gain full authority over the animals and to reduce distrust that could lead to revolt.
In the novella Animal farm written by George Orwell, Napoleon is a malicious antagonist and a rebel. There is nothing to admire. After Old Major's death, Napoleon and Snowball assumed control and orchestrated a revolution, successfully overthrowing their irresponsible farmer and his "regime" that had been scamming the animals in the farm. Napoleon abused his power for his own Selfish deeds, detramenting the other animals with his unjust acts, therefore making him heinous. He saw the world as a social place where the ends always justified the means.
Throughout the book of Animal Farm the theme of leadership and corruption is continuous. The animal’s who have the biggest part in both of these major themes are the pigs. Napoleon, for example, takes over as the leader in the beginning of the book and later his leadership methods turn corruptive.
It is hard to imagine a pig as a ruthless dictator, but that is exactly what happens in the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell. In the book, animals on a farm overthrow the farmer because he was not treating them well. The animals take control of the farm and it starts out as a democracy, with the pigs being the natural leaders. There were two main pigs, Napoleon and Snowball, but Napoleon chases Snowball off of the farm. By the end, Napoleon resembles the farmer more than an animal. In Animal Farm by George Orwell, Napoleon is a pig who goes from being democratic to being a dictator. Orwell shows this when Napoleon makes all the decisions himself, harshly treats the animals opposing him, and by showing how selfish Napoleon is.
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.
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
In reality, we have some incredible pioneers who help and think about the general population and form the nation into a superior state monetarily and socially.
