Living Characters In The Farm, By George Orwell And George Orwell's Animal Farm

When the animals ran Mr. Jones off the farm it was the same thing as Czar Nicholas being overthrown. In history and in the book it shows that both the czar and Mr. Jones were unfit to care for anybody but

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 is talking and celebrating with the humans. They are playing games and toasting to the peace between the humans and Napoleon, when Napoleon starts changing. The animals outside were confused because they “looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which” (Orwell 141). When Napoleon became more corrupt, he acted more like the humans. He was being friendly to the farmers as if he was one of them. Napoleon’s corruption was shown by him becoming a human. He did not care about the other animals, he just used them to get money. The rebellion against Mr. Jones was the animals trying to be free. The animals had freedom until Napoleon became corrupt. He was an animal just like the rest of the farm, then he took Mr. Jones’s place. Napoleon turning into a human is Napoleon becoming fully corrupt. Napoleon’s appearance shows how corrupt he has

Having too much power can corrupt people. Mr. Jones is the owner of Manor Farm. One day he forgets to feed the animals and they rebel. Then the farm’s name is changed to Animal Farm and it is run by animals and the pigs take leadership. The pigs brainwash the animals into believing what is not true and manipulate the other animals on the farm. In the end the pigs act just like humans. In order to secure a life of luxury for Napoleon and his fellow pigs, Napoleon (with Squealer as his spokesman) uses language that intimidates, language that distorts the truth, and language that appeals to the emotions of the others to manipulate the gullible animals of Animal Farm.

One of the wisest animal on the farm, who is now deceased, Old Major, left a list of commandments which were supposed to be followed by all comrades, two of those were; “all animals are equal” (Orwell 15) and “never tyrannize your own kind”(Orwell 15). Shortly after Major passed, there was an argument on who were to take leadership of the farm. Napoleon, whom is one of the pigs, chased his opponent Snowball away and took matters into his hands. As time passed, the rest of the animals gained trust in him, and even made a song about him. Some animals knew how to read but not all, so Napoleon kept changing commandments into his own words, he changed one of them from “all animals are equal” to “all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others” (Orwell 85), by that he meant, the pigs are superior than the rest.

Mr. Jones was the first and foremost crucial enemy of any enemy in this novel. He was a human, and the farmer. He took care of the animals, though the animals only saw what he did that was less than right. Mr. Jones was the reason for the rebellion, and the reason for the war. All the animals hated him, which was why Napoleon would always threaten the animals with, “You wouldn’t want Mr. Jones to come back,” just to make the animals stay

This all went very well for a while, but the revolution then took a drastic downfall. The animal’s freedom and individuality was slowly taken away. Napoleon took the dogs freedom away by “making them bow, “ and obey him only. The animals also began to have no freedom of speech, “ raised their voices timidly but they were promptly silent by a tremendous growling,” which shows us that the farm was no longer run by all the animals but rather by the pigs, anything they say is right and you may not argue. The animals no all had to be the same, which can be taken as equality, but it was taken to the extreme. The animals had to call each other, “comrade,” and they weren’t even allowed to stick out in the smallest ways, ” Molly’s ribbons were taken,” which was fine at first but then slowly the animals started forgetting who they were.

His men were idle and dishonest, the fields were full of weeds, the buildings wanted roofing, the hedges were neglected, and the animals were underfed.” This evidence shows the theme by depicting how throughout the years Mr. Jones was once capable but as time progressed he became corrupted and started mistreating the animals he was supposed to care with the power he had gained thus showing the theme was adopted in the text. The evidence provided also shows that simply because of the farmers own problems he is projecting it on those he is supposed to care for showing one example of corruption in the story. Throughout this story animals are portrayed as starting a rebellion but, as the story progresses it is shown that the animals in the text become traitorous and toxic to others, using them for personal gain. One other example of this corruption is with Napoleon. Evidence that portrays Napoleon 's Corruption goes as stated, “At last the day came when Snowball’s plans were completed. At the Meeting on the following Sunday the question of whether or not to begin work on the windmill was to be put to the vote...Until now the animals had been about equally divided in their sympathies, but in a moment Snowball’s eloquence had carried them away. In glowing sentences he painted a picture of Animal Farm as it might be when sordid labour was lifted from the animals’ backs. His imagination had now run far beyond chaff-cutters

This event is beginning of Napoleon and other pigs acting more human. The other animals are left in their original stalls, while Napoleon was living a luxurious life. Squealer, Napoleon’s right hand, had explained that this was for everyone’s benefit. Despite the spiel, the more observant animals recognized the lie. The final act that broke the freedom and equality rules of the Animal Farm was when the pigs decided to act like Mr. Jones.

The over throw of the humans led to certain animals seeking their own interest which resulted in internal animal versus animal conflict. Animalism which was based on the premise of “whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy” was defeated. Old major in his speech emphasized that “all men are enemies” while “all animals are comrades” but when Napoleon and the other pigs started acting like the humans they displayed an animal versus animal conflict, because just like man their behaviour represented deception and covetousness for material things. Mollie and Napoleon are both alike in this aspect. The overall aim of ‘Animal Farm’ is not achieved and inequality of the animals to the humans remains in the form of internal conflict of animal versus animal. Napoleon betrayed the trust of his fellow animals and the farm’s name was changed back to Manor Farm. Boxer was the only character who displayed selflessness despite various types of conflict he experienced. His level of dedication resulted in him being betrayed and sacrificed for material stuff “money and whiskey”. Therefore because the pigs had also betrayed the trust of the other animals, it was impossible in the end to differentiate between the pigs and the

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.

Napoleon treats the animals like peasants, because that is what they are to Napoleon. Napoleon is the "King" of farm, and he will do whatever he needs to prove that to the other animals. This law gets broken many times, like when Napoleon talks to the other farmers about trading the wood, or at the end when Napoleon has all the other farmers over and drinks with them, that is not treating them like an

In animal farm the auther makes in known how the animal are bing mistrated by the farmer, Mr jones who is an alcoholic. Mr jones seems to care very little for his farm and the animals who live there. The book start with mr jones forgetting to shut the popholes for the hen house, which highly affends the animals. This beggin the hatered of mr jones by the animals.

To justify the expulsion of their competing leader, one of the pigs states: “loyalty and obedience are more important...one false step, and our enemies would be upon us” (70). This new political structure was in the animal’s best interest. The pigs imply that by being against Napoleon, one is not only against Animal Farm but also with Jones. This would be a crime against all of the animals of the

The pigs inherit Mr. Jones’s garments and morals throughout Animal Farm to demonstrate how Mr. Jones’s power permits to influence the pigs, who were previously against his regulations. After a long period of observing the conditions of the farm and its creatures, the pigs commenced to grow tedious from their customs and ordinary routines, yearning to experience a man’s livelihood. Napoleon is deceived by Mr.
