Tyranny In Animal Farm, By George Orwell

Throughout history, leaders have proven that power has the ability to corrupt their actions. This is shown through many different leaders: Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Saddam Hussein. Occasionally, an unsuitable leader comes to power and uses their control to engage in the wrong behavior for their own benefit. An indistinguishable situation is present in the novel Animal Farm, By James Orwell. This novel tells the story of the animals who live on Manor Farm and rebel against their corrupt leader, Mr. Jones. After a successful rebellion, the pigs take on their role as leaders, but soon take advantage of their power and use it in villainous ways. The only logical reason for this occurrence is the effect that power has on leaders, like the

The Author George Orwell’s is a high prestige author. He wrote an amazing life-related fiction book named, “Animal Farm”. Animal Farm consists of a society of animals forming a type of government very like communism and dictatorship. The author Orwell’s warns the readers that giving an individual absolute power is more than likely destined for failure. Animal Farm can be considered a warning to anyone who still believes that Communism can work. This form of government is always going to fail for the simple reason that in the presence of total power, people can be corrupted. The political system is corrupted for the animals because it is unfair for the ones that work harder than others and receive the same care, and recognition.

On a chilly Autumn evening, my cousins and I were roaming around the Promenade Mall. We had been talking about where we would all like to travel to in the future with excitement but that had been until our attention was caught by a younger girl. We had noticed as we walked closer that two older girls had been making fun of her appearance. This greatly bothered us. We viewed bullying as as something that no one should have to tolerate. Immediately, we walked up to the girls. I stood in front of the younger girl pushing her back with my arm to assure them that they should back off or else they would have a major problem. My cousins and I went straight to telling her off on how what they were saying to the younger girl was wrong and how they should use empathy. The girls reacted just as how I expected, frightened. After around 45 seconds of doing so, we walked away with a smirk on our faces and invited the younger girl to join us as we went on shopping. Always stand up for what you believe in. It is better to stand out by doing the right thing than to do nothing and blend with the crowd. In Animal Farm written by George Orwell, the animals in the manor farm were being mistreated. They decided to take charge and to have a rebellion for they knew that they way Mr. Jones was treating them was wrong. The animals later created their own commandments but later they find out that holding all of the power to yourself leads to negative outcomes.

In a general populace where a world class style has disposed of instruments that the rulers don 't permit in light of the way that a this first rate establishment of individuals routinely utilize this mechanical gathering to control and misuse society. In George Orwell 's story, Animal Farm, Orwell shows that readiness is an exceptional weapon and is a contraption that can be utilized to at any rate one 's use. Living entirely we most likely am mindful it where quality is a sensible to profit, the pigs fast utilize get ready to manage the extricating up of the creatures on the ranch to serve themselves attempted moreover strengthening their great good fortune. This story in demonstrates the basic message that  first, prepare is essential

Soon after Major leader of this plan perished, the pigs took over leadership, and were corrupted by power. I believe that the pigs had good intentions in making the farm a better place at first. Although over time their power surged to their heads and subjugated them. Knowing that they were good animals one makes me feel sorry for them, but that was soon changed. Overall, the pigs became horrendous leaders in my eyes, even though the animals had a hard time realizing this.

To start off, the pigs were able to gain their power by taking advantage their superior knowledge and intelligence over the other animals. By claiming themselves to be the smartest, they can already seen as the brains of the farm. They used their knowledge as reason to excuse themselves from work and assume leadership. This is evident in the book, “The pigs did not actually work, but directed and

“Propaganda is a soft weapon; hold it in your hands too long and it will move about like a snake, and strike the other way.” –Jean Anouilh. George Orwell’s Animal Farm was published in 1983 by Penguin Groups; it is considered a “fairy” story or political satire and is used to show totalitarianism is an understandable way. As communism spread throughout Eastern Europe in the mid-20th century, many people did not grasp the concept until it was too late. Orwell used several historical figures and moments to portray his characters and their battles. The pigs in Animal Farm used ignorant masses, emotions, and the appeal of fears to influence the other animals.

She stood there over the dead animals thinking to herself what have we come to? We try to become free but we just enslave ourselves to a so called superior kind. Napoleon killed the animals in front of the whole farm and said that this was to be the punishment for the traitors. Snowball was known as a traitor now and anyone conspiring with him would be killed. Snowball and Napoleon both represent historical characters during the Russian revolution in 1917.Snowball who was one of the smartest pigs and strived for a better future, represented Leon Trotsky who truly wanted a better society in Russia. Snowball wanted the animal 's life without the humans to be better than before, but Napoleon wanted to be the leader of Animal Farm. Napoleon and snowball would always disagree no matter what the subject Trotsky was exiled from Russia by Stalin just as Snowball was exiled by Napoleon. Napoleon represents Stalin; they were both leaders of either Russia or Animal Farm. George Orwell was a man who wrote the book Animal Farm which was based on the Russian revolution. In the book Animal Farm there are many literary elements that I will be talking about such as; irony, symbolism, personification, conflict, allegory and, analogy.

Could the world in Nineteen Eighty-four (1948) and Animal Farm (1945) ever really exist? Orwell believes it could. In Animal Farm, the pigs gradually twist and distort rhetoric of socialist revolution to justify their behavior and to keep the other animals in the dark. The animals embrace Major’s ideal of socialism, but after Major dies, the pigs began to altering his words. At end of the work, Squealer’s has repeatedly reconfigured the meaning and words of the Seven Commandments in order to decriminalize the pigs’ treacheries. The seven commandments have been brought down to one “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” Orwell’s use of this abuse of language remains one of the most compelling and enduring features of Animal Farm, and parallels a major theme of Nineteen Eighty-four, propaganda. “Big Brother is Watching You.” This is used by the Party and in the media also. These words are depicted beneath the picture, on posters that are hung about Oceania. This slogan is meant to give citizens a feeling of protection, and to prevent them from breaking any of the laws of the society. A feeling of safety, the Party uses this to make them think that within this government, nothing can go wrong. In George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-four and Animal Farm language is the greatest tool of oppression. Orwell hopes that readers will leave Nineteen Eighty-four accepting the possibility that this government could existed and has indeed existed enough to

Eventualy,the pigs on Animal Farm assume power and become corrupted by that power. In the end, the pigs,specificly a character named Napoleon, treat the animals even worse than the animals’ former dictator-like farmer. A major theme in Orwell’s Animal Farm is that “absoulute power corrupts absolutely.” It is beneficial to be aware of that theme so people in our current-day communities don’t get manipulated,hurt or even killed.

In George Orwell’s Animal Farm despite how great a government system is, it is only as good as the people who govern. Animal Farm is a story about oppressed animals overthrowing their humans and taking control over the farm. However things were fine up until the pigs started turning corrupt. The story is told through the eyes of a common animal and the events that occurred on Animal Farm. The narrator is never known but it is apparent that is it just a common animal and this gives the retelling of the events on Animal Farm to be unbiased. Napoleon along with the other pigs used their rhetoric, diction, and symbolism to seize control of Animal Farm and eventually turn Animal Farm into a dictatorship. While the other animals were either exiled, killed, or accepted the new Napoleon regime.

The rebellion was initiated to escape the human’s cruel ways but instead brought out the ultimate good and evil in the animals. Animal Farm begins with an idea of rebellion thought up by the most respected animal; Old Major, after revolution/rebellion of Manor Farm to Animal Farm. The animal’s true characters begin to show and Animal Farm begins to show the same qualities of Manor Farm. A dictatorial government comes into play and the animals develop the human like qualities that they were trying to rid themselves of. The resurrection of Manor Farm after the revolution was due to the tyrannical behavior of Napoleon and his ability to convince the other animals that everything he was doing was for the best.

In George Orwell's Animal Farm, Orwell shows his readers that whoever acquires power will soon become corrupt and unfit to be a fair leader. At the start of the novella, the animals are under the power of Mr. Jones, until they revolt against him and the farmers and capture the farm. All of the animals are happy, and they make commandments. The animals follow the pigs, but they turn out to be unfair leaders. Though the intentions of the pigs seemed fair, they were just seeking for power. If the pigs had not deliberately created a false ideology that was attractive and appealing to the animals, they would not have followed the enforcement of the pigs.

In novel “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, he mentions the animals in the farm they all have the vision of freedom after Old Major’s prediction. They rebilled against the farmers and after their victory they tasted the revolution. The farm was renamed “Animal Farm” and made the constitution of the manor – “the seven commandments.” Soon there is a split on the revolution between the pigs, Snowball was declared as an enemies of the revolution. Since then Napoleon and Squealer obtained the leadership of the farm, immediately they have more power and more preferential treatment, they gradually moved away from other animals, and eventually become exploiters for exactly the same as humans, the original ideals of animal farm name is also be abandoned. One theme of animal farm is that we need to have a clever mind to see through unfair trick, before it is too late.

The events that surround Animal Farm’s publication, and Orwell’s own consistent outlook towards his book provide support of its political meaning. Orwell plays a two-sided game with his reader. He emphasizes the similarities between the animal on Animal Farm and the humans they are designed to represent. At other parts of the narrative Orwell shows with both humor and pathos the profound differences separating animals from man.In doing this, he makes his reader create a distinction between the personalities and conduct of the beasts and those of the human world. the animals are designed to represent working people in their initial social, political, and economic position in society, not just of Animal Farm but of England. Just because all have been subjected to human rule, this does not mean that they will act as a united body once they take over the farm. The qualities which, for Orwell, clearly unite the majority of the animals with their human counterparts, the common working people, are a concern for freedom and equality in society and a form of natural decency which prevents them from desiring power for any personal gain. While his decency hinders the animals from discovering the true nature of the pigs until the final scene, it also provides them with an instinctive feeling for what a fair society might look like. By revealing the division within the animal ranks, Orwell is cautioning his reader to question the animal view of the class struggle, for the crucial problem
