One such case is that of Boxer, ‘an enormous beast’ who was ‘as strong as any two ordinary horses put together’. This horse’s own ignorance and loyalty lead to his death at the hands of Napolean, the animal Boxer was most loyal to. Boxer does not enjoy dwelling on his own dilemmas and so allows the pigs to decide for him. Thus he adopts two maxims, ‘I must work harder’ and Napolean is always right’. His stupidity blocks him from realising that he could rally all the farm animals to rebel against the tyrannical pigs.
Suddenly all animals rebel their situation and a new period start for animal. After this we see the contest between Napoleon and snowball. Both of them try to become the head of animal farm that’s why their contest start. They abuse animals in that way.First of all animalism is something new for that poor animals.They lived in very harsh conditions and they belive things is gonna change in the farm.Both Napoleon and snowball know that these animals are fool and they seek for the ways how they can use them especially Napoleon.Actually this reality is valid sor all the pigs in farm.They know that ıf they like they can command that poor animals as they wish.Yet Napoleon and snowball is different from other pigs because they are the head so one of them should be the leader no one of them gives up. why on earth they give up instead of commanding and keeping their life as they wish.
Background of Napoleon Napoleon was a Berkshire pig, who ruled the Animal Farm. However, his name comes from the French general Napoleon Bonaparte, who George Orwell considered to be a dangerous power seeker and dictator. He is a fierce boar who always gets his own way. He led the revolution but the power went to his head. After Old Major died, Napoleon changed the rules so they reflected well on him, and gave him the freedom to do what he liked, whereas he left the other animals with no food, and no time to rest and continued to make them work while he sat back and did nothing.
Analysis: Chapter 7 Idea: Strength of Pig’s “indoctrination”. Hate for Mr. Jones vs. Happy lives. The foundation of the Pig’s indoctrination of the farm animals mainly consists of nurturing the hatred for Mr. Jones and their desire to have a free human farm. In addition, the belief that the pigs have the power to repel the humans makes them as supreme authority figures and Napoleon is almost God-like to some, which makes his words become the animal’s laws without much argument.
This is what happened in Russia in the early 1900’s. This is what happened in Animal Farm by George Orwell. John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton said it best, “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” In Animal Farm, the animals, representing Russia’s people, were upset with the management of the farm. They were eating only enough to stay alive, so they finally had a breakthrough and Rebelled against the humans on the farm, representing the Royal Family in Russia. When the pigs came into power they had seven commandments by which all of the animals need to live.
The first thing he does is drink whiskey and polishes bottle after bottle then he attempts to tend to the care of his animals which is performed poorly. The drunken life he lives and the mistreatment of the animals do not benefit him at all. The second sign of corruption is the pigs’ abuse of the resources provided on the farm. Having power over the animals allowed the pigs to gain special privileges which allowed them to gain ‘special’ things and the use their resources. The pigs taught themselves how to read & right.
There is some immediate conflict between two pigs, Napoleon and Snowball. For a while they work together to help liberate the farm, but soon napoleon starts behaving rather oddly doing things like: drinking the milk which the animals had gathered and stealing away bluebell and Jessie’s puppies for himself. He manages to turn all of the other animals on snowball and takes control of the farm himself. He ‘alters’ the seven commandments and by the end you cannot tell the difference between the humans and the animals. The entire book is an allegory for the Russian revolution; he uses small metaphors to symbolize some of the things which happened during the Russian revolution.
In his self-proclaimed fairy story, Animal Farm, George Orwell has clearly shown that absolute power corrupts absolutely. In order to get this theme across, he has used fable to replace human beings with animals and show the process of power corrupting, allegory to draw parallel between Animal Farm and the Russian Revolution and satire to expose the corruption of the leaders. In order to demonstrate that absolute power corrupts absolutely without being defensive to anyone, Orwell has created Animal Farm as a fable, where all animals think, talk and fight like human beings. He has effectively used Napoleon, the leader of Animal Farm as an example, to show the process of power corrupting. Although Napoleon seems to be a good leader at first, he becomes very corrupted when he has gained absolute power, that is, when he has exiled Snowball from Animal Farm.
The rebellion itself is led by two pigs, Napoleon and Snowball who are inspired by Old Major, the old pig. However, because Napoleon does not like Snowball, he makes a plan to put Snowball away from the farm. According to Orwell, this story has a reflection of Russian Revolution of 1917. Some of the characters in the story are believed to be a representatives of certain famous or infamous people. Moreover, this story has been adapted to be a movie.
As the animals are against the humans may internally change when the common enemy is eliminated and the next oppressor takes total control. In the case of the animals after the farmer gets kicked out the pigs take total control and claim themselves to be the leader because they are the brain workers. The pigs begin to make a nice charter of rights that gives freedom to all animals and states that all animals are equal and animals shall never become like humans. As time passes the pigs start breaking the rules that they created and began to secretly change them, as they did this they became more and more like humans and started to treat the working class of animals poorly. All the hard work that the animals did was profited by the pigs and all the pigs did was eat a lot of food and have lot of whiskey
