Napoleon's Inhumanity In Animal Farm

Napoleon’s use of propaganda keeps the animals on his side. Squealer tells the animals that the pigs need milk and apples because they work more than the other animals. Squealer told the animals, “... So it was agreed without further argument that the milk and...apples...should be reserved for the pigs alone,”(Doc C, Chapter 3). Napoleon uses propaganda through Squealer telling the animals to do what he says.

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:

Napoleon starts establishing his dictatorship when he accumulates nine attack dogs. The dogs are used whenever Napoleon is in public,when the animals try to oppose anything he says, and to intimidate them. “Four young porkers in the front row uttered shrill sequels of disapproval,and all four of them sprang to their feet and began speaking at once. But suddenly the dogs sitting around Napoleon let out deep menacing growls,and the pigs fell silent and sat down again” (pg.54). Napoleon also blames all of the farm’s problems and focuses all the hatred onto Snowball. “He stole the corn, he upset the milk-pails,he broke the eggs, he trampled the seedbeds, he gnawed the bark off the fruit trees. Whenever anything went wrong it became usual to attribute

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.

Students complain about they work they have to do for school or work. But in George Orwell’s Animal Farm the animals were not taught the things we are in the United States. Therefore, the animals lives are a lot worse there than here. Napoleon turns out to be a dangerous dictator and in these paragraphs it shows how he acted on the farm. The animals on the farm are harmed in different ways.

Napoleon is a power-hungry, sneaky pig who led the rebellion against Farmer Jones. Squealer says, “No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. ”(Orwell, 1945, p 55) Napoleon uses Squealer to turn lies into truths to convince the other animals how great Napoleon is just like Stalin used propaganda to show the Russian citizens how great he was. Orwell tells us,”They dashed straight for Snowball, who only sprang from his place just in time to escape their snapping jaws.”

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.

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?

In society, individuals are not treated equally. This can be seen in the book Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, when the horse, Boxer, is controlled by the pig leader, Napoleon, and when the animals on the farm live by the saying “Four legs good, two legs bad!” (Orwell 39). Boxer’s experience with Napoleon teaches readers to be informed in their society and to learn from history’s occurrences. In the text it reads, “Napoleon appeared to change countenance, and sharply ordered Boxer to let the dog go, where at Boxer lifted his hoof, and the dog slunk away, bruised and howling,” (Orwell 58).

First, Napoleon manipulated the animal's’ feelings of Snowball by blaming everything on him. After the first destruction of the windmill, Napoleon declares “Snowball has done this thing!” (70). It was also said that “he stole the corn, he upset the milk-pails, he broke the eggs…” (78). By making Snowball the scapegoat, he was blamed for any misfortune or difficulty in the farm and no one would suggest there might be someone else responsible such as Napoleon.

In the novel, Squealer uses propaganda when a rumor went around the farm that the pigs slept in beds; Squealer then starts to explain that the pigs does all the brainwork and if they’re too tired they wouldn’t be able to carry out their duties. Without the pig completing their duties, their rebellion would have been just for nothing. Squealer then questions everyone by saying “Surely none of you wishes to see Jones back?”(80). From then on, the animals never complained about their actions because of the fear they had if Mr. Jones would come back. In addition, Squealer uses propaganda again when he explains to his comrades that Napoleon is a great leader and that“No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal.

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.

He takes the opportunity to strike fear over others by making sure nobody can oppose him. This is illustrated when he kills animals who opposed him and secretly supported Snowball. Napoleon made the animals he slaughtered look like they were at fault. He then changed the rules from “No animal shall kill any other animal” to “No animal shall kill any other animal without cause. ”(Animal Farm, pg 88)By doing this he justifies his actions as he had already made the slaughtered animals an enemy.

Napoleon Has always been the type where he wants to be in charge no matter what and have everyone listen to him ever since old major died. One thing Napoleon doesnt like is another pig even his own friend who also wants to be in charge, napoleon will do anything and even argue to be the only one to give commands.”This arrangement would have worked well enough if it had not been for the disputes between Snowball and 18 Napoleon. These two disagreed at every point where disagreement was possible.” (page 18) Napoleon is a grumpy pig and and a lier and a manipulator he tricks other animals and even has meetings but other animals don't care. “ but Napoleon was better at canvassing support for himself in between times.” (page 19) Napoleon is stubborn

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
