WhyDeath Lead To The Characters In George Orwell's Animal Farm?

In mid-twentieth century, George Orwell published a novel titled Animal Farm. The tale features several characters, including one with the name of Napoleon, a tyrant who takes form of a pig. The animal has a deep lust for power and will not let any man, or in this case, animal, get in between himself and dominance. With great power, comes great influence. Napoleon never truly commits the crime of murder, but instead, influences the minds of others that lead to their deaths.

By killing the animals, Napoleon shows that he is willing to go to any measures possible to make the animals confess their crimes. For example, when Napoleon calls the same four pigs who “protested when Napoleon abolished the Sunday Meetings” (92) to confess their crimes, they tell him “that they had entered into an agreement with” (93) Snowball to hand over Animal Farm to Mr. Frederick. Since Napoleon does not prefer the sound of the pigs when they confess, he orders the dogs to tear their throats out. This quote suggest that Napoleon does not show any sympathy towards the pigs to hear the full story of what the pigs needed to say. After the pigs die, Napoleon starts to demand “whether any other animal had anything to confess” (93) and when he says these words, three hens, a goose and three sheep also confess their crime.

First of all, Napoleon is unjust, does not demonstrate good leadership qualities and has poor reasoning. Napoleon has just held executions for animals he considers traitors and scares the animals while killing without reason. Orwell shows this as he states how, "the tale of confessions and executions went on until there was a pile of corpses lying before Napoleon's feet and the air was heavy with the smell of blood, which had been unknown there since the expulsion of Jones," (Orwell 84). This proves how Napoleon is unjust and doesn't care for the animals at all. He is only concerned with the efficiency of the farm and does not show sympathy for the animals, but treats them as though they are machines only there to do his work. Similarly, another example of Napoleon being corrupt as a leader is when he is becoming more secretive and separates himself from the other animals on the farm. For example, "Napoleon inhabited separate apartments

Someone, or some pig in the case of Animal Farm, who thinks they are better than everyone else will try to get to a position of power of leadership, so other people will see that too. A good example can be found on page 95, “The general feeling on the farm was well expressed in a poem titled, Comrade Napoleon… Napoleon approved of the poem and caused it to be inscribed on the wall of the big barn, at the opposite end from the Seven Commandments. It was surmounted by a portrait of Napoleon, in profile, executed by Squealer in white paint”. This bit of text displays Napoleon’s large ego and how that affected the way he ruled the farm. Napoleon thinks he is better than everyone else as a leader and as a pig, so he decided to try and get all the other animals to worship him and the pigs. This explains why as a leader he was always putting his interests and well-being

George Orwell’s Animal Farm is a satirical allegory through which he presents his cynical view of human nature. He uses the animal fable effectively to expose the issues of injustice, exploitation and inequality in human society.

George Orwell’s Animal Farm is, first and foremost, a political satire warning against the pursuit of utopian desires through unjust and oppressive means. Operating under the pretense of an animal fable, Orwell disparages the use of political power to poach personal freedom. He effectively alerts his readers to the dangerous price that can accompany the so-called “pursuit of progress”. And he illuminates how governments acting under the guise of increasing independence often do just the opposite: increase oppression and sacrifice sovereignty. While the cautionary theme Orwell provides proves widely applicable, in reality his novel focuses on one tale of totalitarian abuse: Soviet Russia. The parallels between the society Orwell presents in his Animal Farm and the Soviet Union – from the Russian revolution to Stalin’s supremacy – are seemingly endless. Manor Farm represents Tsarist Russia, Animalism compares to Stalinism, and Animal Farm, with the pig Napoleon at its helm, clearly symbolizes Communist Russia and Joseph Stalin. But Orwell does more than simply align fiction with fact. He fundamentally attacks Soviet Russia at its core. And in so doing he reveals how the Communist Party simply replaced a bad system with a worse one, overthrowing an imperial autocracy for a totalitarian dictatorship. This essay will demonstrate that Orwell’s Animal Farm is

People play an enormous component in our lives and the choices we make. In George Orwell's “ Animal Farm” there are several people that show leadership and guidance. The Leaders of Animal Farm start off with good intentions, but as the story goes on it becomes obvious the leaders have grown power-hungry and have become the 'superior' animals, showing that equality does not exist. This source of power has been used by leaders at the expense of their followers for their own personal gain, like Napoleon, whose first sign of corruption occurred early in the book when he seemed to be the main leader of them all.

Elie Wiesel in Night and Snowball from Animal Farm are very similar characters because they were victimized by tyrants and used as scapegoats, but they are also unique and individual characters because Elie knew he was being taken advantage of and Snowball did not. Animal Farm is written by George Orwell, and it is about a farm of animals that take over the farm. Napoleon, a large pig, slowly takes away food and supplies from the other animals until he starts walking on two feet and becomes a “human.” Because of him Snowball is expelled from the farm and acts as a scapegoat for everything that goes wrong on the farm. Night is an autobiography written by Elie Wiesel, and in it Elie tells the story of he was taken from his home and put into a concentration camp under the control of Adolf Hitler.

The story of Animal Farm is not just one of a talking pig who takes over a farm. Rather, the tale seeks to show the fear factor in which the citizens under Joseph Stalin’s totalitarian government lived with. George Orwell, in Animal Farm uncovers the truth about how the people under Stalin’s rule were constantly threatened to be killed if they did not dedicate their lives to helping Stalin with his plans. As Napoleon, an allegory for Stalin, takes control of the farm, animals lose their lives, are manipulated to fight the humans and are living in constant fear of getting killed.

People respond to control and power differently for various reasons, however, one of the main reasons is based on their personality; their confidence and intelligence. In, Animal Farm by George Orwell, confidence and intelligence is a big factor for why certain animals obtained power and control and why other ones did not. People with confidence and intelligence are likely to gain most of the control and power. People with little intelligence, but lots of confidence are more likely to have some power or work underneath the leader. People with intelligence, but no confidence seem to have no power at all and shy away from it. Both intelligence and confidence are needed for someone to take total power. Therefore, the amount of confidence and intelligence a person has will decide how they respond to control and power.

In Animal Farm, Napoleon chased off his greatest rival to secure his position of power. Hugo Chavez was impeached by his government but, using military force, took back control of his government and declared himself as a dictator. ("Venezuela's Chavez Ousted, Briefly (Special Report).") They both used a form of violence to scare their people, and keep them in line. When hugo Chavez took control back, he “left dozens of civilians dead and hundreds wounded” ("Venezuela's Chavez Ousted, Briefly (Special Report).") Similarly, when Napoleon took control of the farm, he used brutal punishment for all the animals that had disobeyed him. He had the dogs rip out the disobedient animal’s throats. The couple of Dictators were ruthless and took all the power that they didn't rightfully

Power Corrupts those who Possess it John Dalberg-Acton once said, “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely”, this means that the more power that a person has the more corrupt the person will become. This statement is obviously correct especially if the person with absolute power has tendency towards corruption.

Introduction Power corrupts those that possess it; this is a very important theme in Animal Farm.

"If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right.’’ The reason for this is because Napoleon took control of the farm and found out a way to command people to do his responsibilities and jobs, its when the animals started to get blinded by him. They thought that whatever Napoleon said
