Napoleon’s dictatorship is further evidenced when he sets the dogs against Snowball to increase his political power. Eventually, Napoleon becomes a corrupted dictator and exploits the other animals through violence and tyranny. Evidence of a communism begins with Old Major’s vision that all animals could share in the wealth of the farm without a distinction of “classes”. After Old Major’s
“They dashed straight for snowball, who only sprang from his place just in time to escape their snapping jaws” This shows that even before the windmill had come into play napoleon had reared these puppies to be aggressive dogs and to get rid of snowball. Next the pigs begin to abuse there power and break the commandments. This starts to happen as soon as napoleon takes place as leader of Animal Farm. “Whatever goes upon two legs an enemy” This is
The rivalry comes to a head over Snowball's idea to build a windmill. At the final debate about the windmill, Napoleon summonsdogs he has secretly reared to be his own vicious servants and has them chase Snowball from Animal Farm. Napoleon tells the other animals that Snowball was a "bad influence," eliminates the animals' right to vote, and takes "the burden" of leadership on himself. He sends around a pig named Squealer, who persuades the animals that Napoleon has their best interests at heart. Three weeks later Napoleon decides they should build the windmill after all.
Snowball doesn’t see him as a threat until it is too late due to clever organisation and planning. However, although he is more like the other animals than Napoleon, Snowball is by no means the same as them. ‘No sentimentality, comrade! … War is war. The only good human being is a dead one.’ Snowball is a ruthless leader who is committed to the revolution, so committed in fact that he indicates he’d be willing to die for Animal Farm.
The pig nation found out about this and President Pohn Pigennedy was ready to claim war. The wolves placed nuclear missiles in a nearby grassland, that was close to the third piggy’s steel house. Everything was in chaos for both sides, but the wolves pulled back, they couldn’t risk another war toward their economy. Their economical structure was at risk of collapsing. The pigs all celebrated this wonderful victory, with a feast and mud baths.
Everything good happening on the farm the animals believed to be Napoleons work, and everything that was to be blamed on Snowball. Napoleon got the privilege of sleeping in a bed, eating a proper meal, having his name known as "our leader, Comrade Napoleon", I'm taking good credit for everything. 15. Pgs.97 – 102 Page: 101 para: 2 "Napoleon called the animals together immediately and in a terrible voice pronounced the death sentence upon Frederick." Napoleon had given Fredrick timber for a trade of enough money to complete the Windmill.
The conflicts among the animals and the humans included the defeat of Mr. Jones the head farmer, the bombing of the main farm windmill twice, and the death of Boxer the farm’s trusty cart-horse. The conflicts in the book would be Man vs Man, and Man vs Society. Boxer could have been described as the most sympathetic character in the novel, Boxer symbolized all of the best qualities: dedication, and loyalty. However boxer suffered a major weakness a naïve trust and an inability to recognize corruption. Animal Farm proved the quote because, in order to reach their dreams and paradise, the animals had to encounter death and major destruction around them.
Towards the end of the story she find Lennie in the barn and start being flirty because she knows she can make him talk to her. This was a bad quality of hers though because it ultimately led to her demise. The final type of power is the power of authority from Curly and his dad. Curly’s dad is the boss which give Curly his own power, or so he sees it. Curly’s dad has the power to fire anyone he doesn’t like from the farm which is true authority.
Squealer Manipulative Ways Animal Farm, written by George Orwell is an allegory reflecting the horrifying effects of a totalitarian government. One of Orwell’s characters, Squealer (based on Vyacheslav Molotov) is a clever and very persuasive pig. His job: to promote Napoleons personal image and later on, become his intermediary. He cunningly justifies “Comrade Napoleons” actions when the other animals begin to question his authority. He exploits the animals on Animal Farm by using erroneous information and abusing their emotions as techniques to sway them.
Orwell positions the reader to see the effects of a dictatorship especially how it can control a whole society. By establishing a power base, the pigs are able to manipulate the other animals in their rise to power. In the early stages of the revolution, Napoleon trains the puppies of Jessie and Bluebell to be at his command by removing them from life on the farm and ‘brainwashing’ them. When Snowball unveiled his plans for the windmill, Napoleon, “... uttered a high-pitched whimper... and nine enormous dogs wearing brass-studded collars came bounding into the barn” (Orwell 1945, p. 35). The enforcement of terror and force through the use of the dogs dramatically frightens the other animals.
