Displeased with sharing the little power he has with Snowball, he expels Snowball from Animal Farm. This demolishes what little republic system the farm had, and Napoleon begins to make all of the decisions regardless of what the other animals think. This is the beginning of his reign. He develops a government type organization of pigs to do his biddings. He also trains some dogs to guard him.
This meant that Napoleon was above all the other animals on the farm, Napoleon was a leader; therefore, the animals had to follow what he said. All animals were not ‘equal’ and this is the moment that Clover realises it. Commandment 6 was broken when the traitors were slaughtered for ‘protesting when Napoleon abolished the Sunday meetings’. The traitors represent the mass execution of the people who disagrees with Stalin’s ideas during the 1930’s. Stalin’s ideas were not the same as communism and Orwell is able to portray this when he specifically states that ‘Napoleon’ abolished the meetings, later in the scene, Orwell again wrote that Napoleon ‘demanded’ other animals to ‘confess’.
They decide to vote a chief to lead the group. Ralph wins but he gives Jack the power to lead his choir group. Ralph, Jack, and Simon explores their environment and see if they can get help. On their way back, Jack encounters a pig with stuck. He attempts to kill it with his knife, but he resisted and the pig got away.
The general themes of oppression, suffering, and injustice have broad applications for those that watch the film. In the beginning of the movie, the oldest, wisest, pig on the farm, Old Major, is giving a speech to the animals encouraging them that they must overthrow the farmer, Mr. Jones, who rules the farm as a monarch. He s a cruel, alcoholic owner that is irresponsible to his animals (lets them starve), sometimes beats them, and yet sometimes is kind. In his speech, Old Major reveals his feelings about Mr. Jones implying that he is man that consumes but does not produce or give back to those that occupy the farm. A monarchy is political system in which supreme authority is given to an individual ruler who functions as the decision maker for all in the society.
Just as the pigs rewrite history, they manipulate statistics in their favor, claiming that every important aspect of life on the farm has improved statistically since the Rebellion: animals live longer, eat more, have more offspring, work fewer hours, and so forth. In this way, the pigs produce a false vision of reality. Napoleon killed many innocent animals during his reign of power. He would execute an animal for simple unjustified reasons in order to prove his superiority. He has murdered many over silly disputes.
Napoleon is first and foremost a scheming, plotting liar, who will stop at nothing to make the animals believe he knows best. It all began with him getting rid of snowball, which was also a bore hog like him self and also a leader. Meany times through out the story he lies to the animals about things that happened on the farm. He told the 2 dogs he would teach their 2 puppies, but in reality he was training them to fiercely protect them. Napoleon also leads the other animals to believe that they will have pastures to retire and graze on when they reach retirement age.
Snowball, resembles a man who was kicked out of his country, was chased out by Napoleon and his dog squad. KPA, the secrets police, is made up of the dogs napoleon took from Pincher and brainwashed by napoleon. One difference in the movie is that Old Major gets shot, but in the novel he dies of natural causes. What happens is that old major calls a meeting and tell the other animals that they need to overthrow the humans to get a better life. He tells of a song that he and his other friends sung when they were kids called “ Beasts of England” and leads the animals in the song.
The head of the pig was on a spear as an “offering” to the beast. Close the end of the novel, it is obvious that there is no hope for the boys to be innocent again. They were trying to kill each and also, some got killed. In chapter 11, Roger rolled a boulder down a hill during a feud and killed piggy. In chapter 10, Simon tries to tell the other boys that the real beast is their own selves, while at the same time they are screaming, "Kill the beast!
In the story (after Snowball’s exile) Napoleon started to make a lot of changes in the community and in the seven commandments. He had a view that all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. What made him a good leader was that even if he would make a bad decision, he could change the fact so it would show him in the good light. For instance, when the first windmill demolished in a storm, Napoleon did not confess that he had
Napoleon, knowing well enough that the animals were not as educated as he was, took advantage of their stupidity. Although the animals did not intend to, it seemed as if they were assisting Napoleon in getting the power over Animal Farm. Napoleon not only used his intelligence to manipulate the animals of Animal Farm, but also used his confidence to take control over the animals. For example, “”Comrades,” he said quietly, “do you know who is responsible for this? …SNOWBALL!” he suddenly roared…This very morning we begin rebuilding the windmill, and we will build all through the winter, rain or shine…Remember, comrades, there must be no alteration in our plans: they shall be carried out to the day…” (82-83).
