Napoleon In Animal Farm

At the start of Napoleon’s time as leader he is shown to be encouraging to the other animals and they are taught to obey him without question. Throughout the book Napoleon is shown to be a clever conniving character but at the beginning he seems, to the animals, to be basing all his actions on the hope all the animals will be equal and safe. If ever the animals feel threatened, he will make sure he helps them to gain their trust. This is shown when the windmill is destroyed “We will teach this miserable traitor that he cannot undo our work so easily… Forward, comrades! Long live the windmill! Long live Animal Farm!”. He is quick to blame Snowball for the tragedy and exiles him; chasing him away with his army of ferocious dogs. This action is similar to that of Lenin toward Leon Trotsky, who was also a threat toward his power, in the Russian Revolution. By using the word “our” in context with “our work” Napoleon instils in the animals a further belief that he is their friend and he will work with them to promote Animalism. The audience, at this point, may be able to see that the animals are becoming entrapped even if the animals themselves do not.

Napoleon changed the battle of the cowshed from Snowball being the hero to him partnering with Mr. Jones and luring the animals into a trap Loyalty and obedience are more important. “And as to the Battle of the Cowshed, I believe the time will come when we shall find that Snowball’s part in it was much exaggerated.” (document D). He also made many revisions to the seven commandments “ There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran: ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS”(document A).This cause a shift from one social class in which all animals were equal to two different social classes where the upper social class is treated as royalty. These small adjustments to history made it so Napoleon was an honored war hero, smarter and richer than most animals, and perfect in the eyes of the

Napoleon was seen by the rest of the animals as a force to be reckoned with; he was most certainly a dictator and was very narcissistic and self-centered. Additionally, he brain washed his supporters to obey his every command. On the contrary, Snowball understood the responsibilities that come with great power and was ready to accept them. He always made decisions based on what he thought would benefit the farm.

The novel Animal Farm, by George Orwell, was an allegory about the Russian Revolution in which the author used a farm and it’s members to symbolize major characters and their actions. In this composition, I will reveal to you many of Joseph Stalin’s important contributions and how they relate to the actions of Napoleon from Animal Farm. I will break this topic down into the following three parts, their rise to power, how they maintain power, and how they use and abuse their authority.

Think about the last time you lied to someone. Over time, or maybe no time at all, your lie will have reached several other people who now believe this statement is true. They think this way because they have heard your lie over and over and over again. In a book by George Orwell, Animal Farm, Napoleon and Squealer, who are both pigs, take over the duties of Old Major.

They were shaken and miserable. They did not know which was more shocking--- the treachery of the animals who had leagued themselves with Snowball, or the cruel retribution they had just witnessed,”(Orwell 85). Napoleon has ruined the revolution by not sticking to the main thing that the revolution was for. Instead, he executed animals for his own good.

The dogs are taken from their mothers while they are still puppies and raised by Napoleon. When Napoleon took the puppies the rest of Animal Farm forgot them. ‘In such seclusion that the rest of the farm soon forgot their existence’. The dogs are reintroduced are used to chase Snowball out of Animal Farm the dogs then proceed to intimidate the other animals even killing some. The dogs proceed to become Napoleon's personal bodyguards and police and help aid him to become a violent and bloody dictator.

Can a leader manipulate you to believe everything he or she says? In the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, Napoleon develops a cult of personality, as he became a dictator of Animal Farm. Napoleon took control of the Farm as he began to establish powerful and caring traits, those as would be shown in a leader. Important aspects of Napoleon becoming a dictator can be attributed to his cult of personality by him being charismatic. Napoleon uses manipulation,deception, and being hypocritical.  Napoleon uses other animals to support him in his decisions for the Farm. The actions shows Napoleon's personality and speech help support his plans..The desire to move ahead can cause change in opinion and mislead you to believe in the wrong path.

At this point, Napoleon is now understanding the hard work that goes into running a farm. Napoleon decides to conversate with humans that can buy the needed supplies from the town stores. When the animals heard about the newly made agreement, they were stunned. Animals that have any relations with humans were seen as a traitor. Napoleon then

Characters in a novel are just like us except on paper. They undergo changes throughout a book just as we go through changes in our lives. Most characters throughout a novel are mutable in a positive or negative way. A character’s response to a theme has the power to alter them, which can result in more problems throughout the reading. In George Orwell’s Animal Farm Comrade Napoleon undergoes drastic changes due to his abuse of language throughout the novel. This helped to shape the true meaning of Orwell’s Animal Farm.

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.

At the start, the revolution seems good for the animals, they set up seven commandants/rules that they must follow, they have a Sunday meeting every week, and Snowball was trying to set up the perfect society in which every animal could enjoy their life. However, that quickly changes when Napoleon comes to power. Napoleon symbolizes a despotic ruler. For example, “Throughout the spring and summer they worked a sixty-hour week, and in August Napoleon announced that there would be work on Sunday afternoons as well. This was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself would have his rations cut by half” (59).

Our poster represents Animal Farm in general. It shows Napoleon as the commander of animal farm on the center of the poster to signify his importance. The red around Napoleon indicates the blood lost from the animals that sacrificed their life for Napoleon and the idea of animalism. Our slogan “For the greater good” signifies the dictatorship of Napoleon and his army. Throughout the novella, Squealer has made his priority to persuade the barnyard animals to believe in Napoleons theories and orders.

First, Napoleon showed his effectiveness as a leader because he established trust with the other animals on the farm. No matter if he earned their trust or not, the animals eventually put their faith in every decision he made. One particular animal that showed unending trust in Napoleon was Boxer, a large horse. On many occasions Boxer says, “Ah, that is different! If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right” (58). In this scene Squealer tries to convince the animals that Snowball was against them all along and Boxer has trouble believing that. Finally, after many different ways of trying explaining his reasons, Squealer says that Napoleon told him that Snowball was evil, and Boxer instantly trusts what Squealer said, because it first came

The pigs become more and more cruel as time goes by. The animals keep working hard, but the rations are still being reduced. The second windmill was just starting. Napoleon has improved on the plans from the first windmill. The farm had three new foals, and Napoleon took them to teach himself. Another part of the field was reserved for barely. Each week went by and more whiskey was ordered. The pigs would have parties with humans every Friday night.
