Similarities Between Lord Of The Flies And Animal Farm

Both George Orwell and William Golding are able to recognise that history is cyclical; in realising this both authors incorporate themes that transcend time. In Animal farm and Lord of the flies Orwell and Golding convey themes that are still relevant in todays society. In both books the authors focus on power and corruption, and how that can influence decisions and affect those whom they are ruling over. They also develop supporting themes, which are in themselves undying, which are manipulation for personal gain, and utopia vs. dystopia.

Animal Farm by George Orwell which is an allegory of the Russian Revolution and the film adaptation of George Orwell’s novel 1984, which is set in a futuristic dystopian society, directed by Michael Radford uses Symbolism, foreshadowing and irony to convey the central ideas of power, politics, control, fear and they both also portray the dangers of totalitarianism. 1984 follows one main character (Winston) which shows how the society is being controlled whereas Animal Farm does not follow one character specifically. Though there are differences, Animal Farm and 1984 use the language techniques of symbolism, foreshadowing and irony in very similar ways.

The author of Animal Farm, Orwell, tells a story of a farmyard tragedy and the deadly lives of a group of animals. Due to the disappearance of humans, Napoleon abuses his power and gradually transforms into a human. Orwell also used animals to clarify that humans are corrupted due to power. The author of Lord of the Flies, Golding, shows a similar story where it is about life and death situation for a group of lost boys on a island that is trying to establish a democracy while on the island. Both authors of novels, Lord of the Flies and Animal Farm demonstrate the comparison between the theme of human and animal nature in settings where traditional authority absent.

Another thing both the book and the Holocaust have in common, is that they both deal with a mass murdering of innocent people. In the book Animal Farm, Napoleon, the dictator pig, started forcing the other farm animals to admit to crimes they never committed. This would make all the

In the book of Animal farm the animals take over the farm so that way they are able to run it themselves. They then write down a series of rules that make it to where all of the animals are the equal in every way. They then start working on many projects which is easy for all the animals to pitch into but the pigs start to not do anything. The pigs then start to act like the humans were where they get the most food out of all of them and they start to order around the other animals. The poem that was made by Martin Niemoller and the story of Animal farm is similar because of the fact that the people who were on your side may one day turn on you and backstab you which is what has happened in the book and the poem.

In Lord of the Flies, British schoolboys are stranded on a tropical island. In an attempt to recreate the civilization they left behind, they nominate Ralph as their leader, with the smart and rational Piggy by his side. But Jack wants to lead, too, and one-by-one, he lures the boys from reason and humanity to savagery and a survival and inhuman state; they become the hunters. In Lord of the Flies, William Golding gives us a glimpse of the savagery that controls even the most civilized human beings. In To Kill a Mockingbird, author Harper Lee uses interesting characters to explore civil rights and racism in the segregated Southern United States of the 1930s.

Animal Farm is a written allegory story by George Orwell. The novel is about what happened during the political time of Russia; the Bolshevik Revolution and show the betrayal of Joseph Stalin.

These two books are similar in many ways. For example, in Night Hitler was the dictator, he told everyone what to do without caring about their opinions. This relates to the Napoleon in Animal Farm. After they took over the farm, Napoleon slowly made himself the dictator. Then he started changing many commandments like commandment number 2, “No animal shall drink alcohol.” Napoleon changed that commandment, without consulting anyone, to “No animal shall drink alcohol to excess.” Then he lied and told the other animals that, that was always the rule. He also did things like increase work hours and decrease food proportions.

It was once when an animal was a slave and just an animal, but with a little bit of rebellion, things are turned upside down. Animal Farm shows an important point that it is easy to take advantage of those who are feeble, or less intelligent. Napoleon uses his power to keep the sheep working who follow along with the rest of the animals, and also exploits characters like Boxer who helps. In Animal Farm, George Orwell uses personification and detail to show a leader and followers viewpoints in an environment to prove how leaders and followers contributes to the loss of freedom and equality.

The Lord Of The Flies, an allegorical novel, written by William Golding is based on a group of boys who become stranded on an island and are introduced to the harsh realities of life. In comparison to the nineteen nineties film directed by Harry Hook the plots are similar, however there are many significant differences between the conch, the glasses, and the beast.

In conclusion, both animals compare and contrast very well. Both animals wanted the power over the farm and the animals but they had their different way of convincing the animals. Reading past current events animal farm is a reflection of the Russian Revolution the purpose was to see the way how Stalinism betrayed the socialist

Anne Frank’s story is not the only story that shares similarities with Lord of the Flies, however. Lord of the Flies and A Child Called “It” have their differences, but they also have many common traits, such as the cruel and unusual punishments the victims went through and how both parties were rescued before death. However, they do share their obvious differences as well, such as the time each party suffered and that Pelzer had constant interaction with other people as well, while the boys were isolated on the island. Though, A Child Called “It” is not the only thing with differences from Lord of the Flies. One significant difference between Anne and the Ralph is how long they managed to keep their ideals. While Anne was hopeful and innocent

The theme of leadership all began when Napoleon took all of the control by forcing Snowball off of the farm. This happened in the book in chapter five in the following lines, “Then he was up again, running faster than ever, then the dogs were gaining on him again. One of them all but closed his jaws on Snowball’s tail, but Snowball whisked it free just in time. Then he put on an extra spurt and, with a few inches to spare, slipped through a hole in the hedge and was seen no more.” This is text evidence of when Napoleon forced Snowball off of the farm so he could be be the only leader on Animal Farm. Throughout the entire book it was evident that Napoleon wanted to be the only leader on the farm.

Secondly, secondary characters in both novels play the role of followers who help their leader in obtaining more power. In Animal Farm, Boxer represents the hard working and loyal people. Boxer is a inspiration to all the other animals because of his strength, loyalty, “and his never-failing cry of 'I will work harder'” (Orwell 49). Plus, Boxer's faith and trust in Napoleon inspires the other animals to do so as well. In contrast, in Lord of the Flies, the Savages are the followers of Jack. They are all loyal to Jack but only because they want the food and protection that the hunters provide. Since Piggy does not have this knowledge of the truth, he is not able to explain that they only have themselves to fear, (comma splice) therefore the rest of the boys would have no other need to join the savages. The boys follow Jack because they fear the beast and Jack promises them that “ [his] hunters will protect [them] from the beast” (Golding 166). To summarize, both secondary characters who play the role of the followers, are loyal to their leaders, but for different reasons yet, still bolster the leaders' power.
