The Characteristic Of Snowball By George Orwell

One night, all the animals of Mr. Jones’ farm, gather together in the barn to listen to Old Major, the pig, tell them about a dream he had, in which no animal had to live under the reign of human owners which would happen after a large rebellion against the people that treated them as slaves. After his death, which occurred only three nights after that meeting, the rest of the animals spent months working on plans to make the rebellion that Old Major had spoken of, into a reality. In the beginning the pigs, particularly Snowball and Napoleon, which had naturally become the leaders, faced difficulties convincing the other animals that this was the right thing to do.

Snowball specifically represents Leon Trotsky and is generally portrayed in a positive light. Snowball passionately attempts to spread the philosophy of animal farm worldwide and honestly tries to improve the farm. His single-minded pursuit of these ideals ironically results in his downfall. His only weapons are his skill as a motivational speaker and the power of his ideas and in the end, they are no match for the brute force of Napoleon. Orwell does not make Snowball perfect and is careful to show that he has some character flaws. The first is that Snowball endorses the superiority the pigs over the rest of the other animals.

In addition, Trotsky proposed the five years’ plan and Snowball proposed the plan to build the windmill. Like Trotsky, Snowball was the only one that stood up against Napoleon (Stalin), the fact that he lost the leadership battle against Napoleon makes it very clear that he represents the character of Trotsky in the Russian Revolution. In the end, both Snowball and Trotsky got exiled from the farm/country, and they went live and work on their

‘Animal Farm’ is an allegory of the Russian Revolution, where animals in the book represent certain revolutionaries and depict them through their similar actions and roles in the story. The pigs are able to gain power with their intelligence, but eventually oppress their fellow animals, and lead the revolution in the wrong direction. In George Orwell’s novel ‘Animal Farm’, the impacts of education and literacy are prevalent to the success of the revolution because the more knowledgeable animals are able to win the support and trust of their peers, as shown by Squealer’s rhetorical language, Snowball’s beneficial and brilliant ideas, and Napoleon’s assumed knowledge.

Snowball, an ardent believer of Animalism, is “a more vivacious pig than Napoleon, quicker is speech and more inventive, but was not considered to have the same depth of character.

After driving out the human workers, the animals celebrate and begin their own farm. However, problems arise as Napoleon drives Snowball out and begins controlling

This “self-sufficient farm” called Animal Farm was focused on creating a system where everyone is equal and happy, and no animal could be above any other animal. However, what happened in Russia as well as other communist countries, was that the interim government that existed to facilitate the change to socialism became venal and didn't care or pay attention to the social equality of all the people. The interim government, represented by pigs in Animal Farm did not give up their power, leading to the oppressive governmental system called communism. Additionally, in Animal Farm, the communist “pigs”, Snowball and Napoleon, did not pay attention to the growing social gap as they grew more powerful on the farm and ended up going against their original philosophies to keep all animals
