Despite Lennie’s best efforts to keep the dream it was not meant to be. Although Lennie is very child-like mentally, he is physically very strong and doesn’t realise his own strength. Consequently he does ‘bad’ things unintentionally, such as killing his puppy and Curley’s wife. Steinbeck continuously foreshadowed this event using a bad omen, “clashed the chains of their halters”. The word “clashed” has connotations of violence, the way Steinbeck has used this word as part of the bad omen could suggest that the dream ends in a violent way.
Each of these men makes an ill-advised challenge to Odysseus because of their arrogance and comes out physically or emotionally damaged. One of these men is Seareach who thinks he can easily out-throw Odysseus at the discus and tells him that " 'you never learned a sport, and have no skill in any of the contests of fighting men' ", but is then easily defeated (8. 168-9). Seareach shows that his pride has grown to arrogance in his inclination to assume that he's the superior athlete. This arrogance is what pushes him to challenge (and be defeated by) Odysseus, damaging his, or any other Greek's most prized possession: his honor.
The battle was between the only good left on the island (represented by Ralph) and the evil of dictatorship. The boys had turned into lawless animals, and were going crazy. The boys were so uncivilized, one boy forgot his own name. “Percival Wemys Madison sought in his head for an incantation that had faded clean away”. Ralph had tried to have a list of names, but Jack didn’t even bother.
George is the brains, who finds the work for the two and does the talking, while Lennie is the physical strength. Being ranchers, they spend considerable time together, creating a bond between the two helping their relationship. But bonding does not always turn out well; they often get frustrated with one another. When George tells Lennie what to do or say, and when Lennie refuses to do what he says, George gets aggravated. For instance, when speaking with the boss of the ranch, George specifically tells Lennie to keep quiet, but Lennie speaks regardless, “‘No he ain’t, but he’s sure as hell of a good worker.
Us, animals were blindfolded by him and never realized he took advantage of the lack of knowledge we had just for the his benefit now and later in the future as well. Napoleon was very smart and cunning. He always criticized Snowball’s ideas and thoughts. We would always be against what Snowball and what he would say but the thought of Napoleon trying to overcome Snowball and kick him out never came in our minds. Napoleon’s personality was the Major reason why he ascended power.
In doing so, we see how essential not only it is for Lennie to gain another friend in times of loneliness, but for Crooks as well. Being secluded from companionship like Crooks is, he becomes dependent on Lennie for moments like those to remind him that he is still a human being. Lennie, like George, also doesn’t want to risk losing a friend over something minor. When Lennie wanted some ketchup and he saw that he made George angry by continuously asking for what they don’t have, he immediately apologized and said “I wouldn’t eat no ketchup, George. I’d leave it all for you.
An example of Sykes lack of morals is, “If you such a big fool dat you got to have a fit over an earth worm or a string, ah don’t keer how bad ah skeer you” (705). Cleary Sykes does not care if he hurts or scares Delia and continuous to scare Delia with his ruthless actions. Delia also has lack of morals. Delia shows her lack of moral by leaving her husband in the house
For instance, a quote from him states, “What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word as I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.” This quote is from when Tybalt is talking to Benvolio while he is trying to stop the fight from occurring in the first scene. Because it says that Tybalt hates peace, he must like to fight. I also assume that the reason that the Montagues hate the Capulets is a very old problem that never affected Tybalt himself so he really has no reason to hate Benvolio. This shows that he hates people that he may not know well enough.
while they doubt Napoleon's ways, they are too ignorant to realize what is actually going on and are too easily influenced by Squealer to stop Napoleon. After Napoleon executes the animals in the public, Molly feels that the deaths were not justified, but instead of speaking up she substitutes "for the words she was unable to find, she started to sing The Beasts of England" (96). Molly was not able to find a good argument against Napoleon and so she just laments with a song, and remains in misery, before long Squealer stops her from finishing. Molly knows that there will continue to be problems between them and Napoleon unless they cause a change to occur. Squealer enjoys manipulating the animals, making them follow his every word.
Also, this demonstrates how already Napoleon secluded himself from the others, by acting narcissistic. Napoleon’s dishonesty continues to grow when he makes paradoxical laws, where the “work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his rations reduced by half.” –pg 35. In Animal Farm Snowball is depicted to be a reasonably moral leader in opposition to Napoleon’s bent leadership. In Animal Farm not everything Snowball did was in the best interest of the animals. Snowball never contested that it was unfair to all the other animals besides the
