Animal Farm Absolute Power Corrupts

In the book Animal Farm the animals take over the farm shutting out Mr. Jones. Then the pigs tell the animals that they are more intelligent and know how to read and write so therefore they should be the leaders of the farm. The animals basically a agree without any objections in play. This doesn’t include Snowball and Napoleon. These two are always fighting and debating about what needs to be done. Which all leads to the pigs gaining power.

Napoleon’s disastrous reign only supports Orwell’s idea that revolutions always fail, tyrants are only replaced, and a new government is never established. Napoleon is a cruel ruler who, fearful of Snowball’s return, executes all the animals who “confess” to being in league with Snowball.

The pigs on the other hand want to take over the farm.

Now that the Old Major isn't around, the animals have to plan for the rebellion themselves. “The work of teaching and organizing the others fell naturally upon the pigs, who were generally recognized as being the cleverest of the animals.” George Orwell employs irony in writing this because there are two young boars who are “preeminent among the pigs,” so all animals are not equal. Among the animals there are some who are better than the others. After the rebellion the pigs lead the animals and tell them what to do and what not to do. After the animals successfully overthrow Mr.Jones, they change the name of the farm from “Manor Farm” to “Animal Farm.” The name of the farm is significant because it signifies that the farm belongs to the animals.

In the book “Animal Farm” Written by George Orwell, One major theme is that Power corrupts those who possess it. A character who constantly proves this theme is Napoleon. Napoleon becomes the leader of the farm, and the animals give into his ruling.
