How Does Orwell Create A Satire In Animal Farm

When the animals were under Jones’ rule, they lived a life of misery and slavery. He was a very cruel master; he abused and enslaved the animals and furthermore, he locked away all the food so the animals were left to starve. Jones was a despicable, incompetent and drunken farmer; he was in the position of power on the farm but he did not fulfil his duties as leader, as all he does is drink, as Orwell described it: "Mr Jones, of Manor Farm, had locked the hen-houses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the pop-holes." (Ch.1; P.1). He was a tyrant, as he operated the farm with absolute control, only for the benefit of himself with no cares about how his animals were being treated in the process, which was how Napoleon came to treat his subjects. And as Old Major described him "Man is the only creature that consumes without producing." (Ch.1; P.4). The fall of Jones’ tyranny

Meet Napoleon, a pig that tries to act as a human in order to pursue his lifelong dream as a farm’s dictator (not really). Welcome to Animal Farm. Napoleon is a pig in a farm called Animal Farm, after the animals decide to rebel against their farm owner Jones, they change the farm’s name from Manor Farm to Animal Farm. This story goes on to Napoleon deciding to use his intelligence as an advantage to lead the other animals. He writes 7 commandments that the animals need to followed. Napoleon’s power could have been checked after he broke these commandments, by deciding to give the pigs all of the milk and apples, by beginning to sleep in the beds of the farmhouse, and by killing two sheep.

Napoleon's driving force that kept the pigs in power was his way of forcing the animals to depend on the pigs for everything, and that they were simply more capable and therefore more deserving. “It

Napoleon being another intelligent pig on the farm believed he could become the leader and have all the power on the farm by scaring the animals. He does so by telling the animals they will work more or there will be punishment “Throughout the spring they worked a sixty-hour week, and in August Napoleon announced that there would be work on Sunday afternoons as well. This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his rations reduced by half” (Orwell 40). “The animals believe what the leadership tells them—that they are working for their own good now, not for Mr. Jones’s—they are eager to take on the extra labor”

Napoleon and his gang of hogs did not earn the right to live in the farmhouse because of their selfish, prideful hearts. They placed their snouts before the wants and needs of the other animals, discriminating against the loyal creatures. For instance, desiring more leisure, the pigs, taking advantage of the abandoned house, “took their meals in the kitchen and used the drawing room as a recreation room.” Also, they “slept in beds,” an act formerly prohibited by every farm creature (24, 66). These swine called themselves comrades, and later leaders, but their actions did not live up to that name because leaders should care for their followers, giving the best to them. Instead of that, the pigs took the best positions for themselves, leaving

In the book “Animal Farm,” by George Orwell, the quality of life on the farm slowly decreases as time goes on. It's an allegory of the communist russia as Joseph Stalin took over. The pig Napoleon is a stand-in for Joseph Stalin with his iron fist dictatorship. The revolution that happens in the book sets the stage for the pigs taking ownership of the farm. During the book, Napoleon the pig took over the farm.

Napoleon is truly acting more and more like Mr. Jones, or perhaps, worse. Like Mr. Jones, Napoleon uses brutal force to keep the animals working to the bone, but however hard Mr. Jones worked the animals, Napoleon is working them harder. An example of Napoleon’ s cruelty and similarity to Mr. Jones can be found on page 68: “They (the dogs) kept close to Napoleon. It was noticed that they wagged their tails to him the same way as the other dogs had used to do to Mr. Jones”.

Under Napoleon, the animals have little choice what happens to them. They have to do what he says or hey will just die in that circumstance. The same was true under Jones. To me, which really means that little has changed. Napoleon is also similar to Mr.Jones because he is using the animals work to make comfortable life for himself. He cares mainly about himself and the pigs of course and doesn't care if he's being fair to the other animals. But Napoleon to me is kind of the nice guy the animals get treated fairly well, well taken care of. They get rewarded by Napoleon of extra portions of food after battles or during celebrations. But by living in the house with the pigs Napoleon creates a different kind of way of how he runs things with the animals it's kind of unique and weird a the

Napoleon and his group of pigs begin to take complete control of the Animal Farm. They were the ones to make all the rules, and left all the other animals with very little power. When Napoleon were given all the power, they began to change the rules they had earlier laid out, without the animals’ opinions. “ ‘Muriel, she said, ‘read me the Fourth Commandment. Does it not say something about never sleeping in a bed?’... ‘It says, ‘No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets.’ ” The regulations that were earlier proposed slowly started changing but only for the pigs’ benefit. Napoleon and his pigs begin sending orders, giving the farm animals more and more work. Napoleon and the pigs did nothing except sit and watch, and of course, benefit from all the hard work the other animals did. “The pigs did not actually work but directed and supervised the others. With their superior knowledge, it was natural that they should

My third reason is that Napoleon is wiser than Mr.Jones in many choices he makes. Napoleon never does something that will ruin his reputation and make him look bad and even if he does, he will cover it up. Mr.Jones doesn’t care what he does because he thinks that nothing will happen to him. Napoleon does many horrible deeds, yet the animals never hold it against him because of fear, respect and lies, Squarely blames the deed on someone else, such as Snowball or states that Napoleon only did it for the cause of Animal Farm and it’s

In Animal Farm, Napoleon manipulates the animals into submission by reminding them of Jones’s days, even though conditions on the farm were worse than when Jones had been in charge. When the pigs are questioned by the animals for sleeping in beds, the pigs defend themselves using this propaganda-like argument. “You would not rob us of our repose, would you, comrades? You would not have us too tired to carry out our duties? Surely none of you wishes to see Jones back?”

To start, Napoleon is the harsh dictator of the Animal Farm. What he says goes, but if it does

Jones, by telling lies and changing the rules on the farm to better suit his needs. Napoleon alters the other animals memories of the events that he doesn’t want them to remember by feeding them lies, mostly through Squealer. When events depict someone other than Napoleon to be the superior animal or a hero, like Snowball at the Battle of the Cowshed or whose idea it was to build the windmill, Napoleon sends Squealer around to the other animals to tell false stories of how the events took place that make Napoleon seem like the superior animal to everyone else. He also sends Squealer to the sign that displays the 7 Commandments of Animalism multiple times to change the commandments to best suit his needs.

The pigs get many special privileges such as, getting to sleep in the farmhouse beds, drink alcohol and have crops and food specifically reserved for them. In contrast, the other farm animals sleep on straw, drink from the pond and are always starving.The final commandment ‘All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others’ is a strong indication that corruption has swallowed the boar. Furthermore, Napoleon has obtained both ‘Animal Hero, First class’ and ‘Animal Hero, Second class’ showing irony through the fact that for all to be equal there should not be a class system such as an upper class and working class. The inequality within the farm slowly spread through the farm until the pigs were almost completely different from actual farm animals and considered more as ‘man’.

The antagonist of the book ‘Animal Farm’, Napoleon was highly emphasized for his cruel tactics that he upheld against his fellow animals. He tortured and tormented them giving himself the title of a cruel leader. This sense of tyranny is why he resembles Mr.Jones the previous owner of Manor Farm. Similar to Mr.Jones, Napoleon has created a caste system in which he is the “farmer” and the rest of the animals are his “slaves”, he has shown that he only uses the animals for his own monetary gain, and that he uses fear and propaganda to control the rest of the animals. In this essay I will compare and contrast the two individuals.
