Comparing Stalin And Napolean In George Orwell's Animal Farm

Like Napoleon, Stalin would get rid of anyone who would rebel against his rules or disagree with what he was doing... According to the article "Stalin Banishes Trotsky" by the Editors of History.com, “He ordered someone to kill Trotsky.” This evidence

The lesson shown in this story is that power can corrupt a society. Old Major, the wisest pig, says that after he dies the animals should rebel against the farmer and start their own government so that every animal can be happy and be equal. Old Major dies, a new leader must be chosen. Two pigs (Napoleon and Snowball) decide to be leaders and try to get the animals’ votes. Napoleon sends the guard dogs to attack Snowball, after that he runs away and doesnt come back..

When the men come in with whips, the animals fight back, and manage to chase all the humans away and bar the gate behind them. The newly liberated animals rename the farm Animal Farm, and paint the Seven Commandments of Animalism on the barn wall. Assuming leadership roles, the pigs Napoleon and Snowball argue and disagree on almost everything, while Squealer is used as their mouthpiece, justifying policies that provide special treatment for the

The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupt, then forgotten. This is all due to the lust for power that the pigs Napoleon and Snowball have that made them all selfish and corrupted. Animal farm in context to The Russian Revolution in terms of corrupting influence of power : Orwell 's goal was to portray the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the early years of the Soviet Union that resulted in a more oppressive and deadly government than the one it overthrew.

The book starts out with old major informing the animals about Animalism. In the Revolution Karl Marx is telling his country of communism and how its a brilliant idea. Eventually old major dies, and that 's when snowball and napoleon take over the farm and rename it the animal farm, similarly Karl Marx and Lenin overtake Nicholas II and they renamed Russia to the USSR. Jones failed when he tried to retake his farm back but in the revolution the white army fights the rod army and fails.

He therefore had used the animal’s fear to gain power; and later on, the supporting “sheeps broke out into a tremendous bleating of ‘Four legs good, two legs bad! (Orwell 55)’” to end any chance of discussion on this topic. This is one of the propaganda the sheeps used to support Napoleon. In

In the text it states, “Joseph Stalin did something called the Great Purge where he sent people to prison camps and killed anyone who disagreed with him,”(Kim, Mirea, Animal Farm, sites.google.com, February 16, 2012). Joseph Stalin was a very powerful man and would do anything to stay on top even it meant that he would have to get his hands dirty, which would have meant that people were too afraid to speak up. Another way that Napoleon and Joseph Stalin made others feel afraid of them was that, they had the ability to

But, it turns into a disaster and Napoleon, one of the pigs, takes over the farm by manipulating the animals and gets guard dogs. The authors obvious irony and symbolism helps support the theme that history repeats itself because no matter what, the bad and good are constantly on war, and only repeat rather than make progress. Napoleon and Mr. Jones are paralleled two characters that help represent that history repeats itself. Mr Jones was overthrown by Napoleon, but Napoleon later acted exactly like Mr. Jones. “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and man to pig, and from pig to man again, but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

Animal farm began with Mr. Jones (Nicholas II) who owned the farm, he was once a capable farmer(Alexander II of Russia he was the most successful Russian reformer since Peter the Great) until he lost the lawsuit and became an alcoholic. Old Major (Karl Marx) Told his dream (Communist Manifesto) to the other animals before his death. The animals revolt (Russian revolution 1917). Snowball and Napoleon start having power struggle between each other(Stalin vs. Trotsky power struggle). Battle of Cowshed, animals are led by Snowball.

A world where communism becomes animalism, and pigs become human. Animal Farm, a classic novel written by George Orwell, revolves around Manor Farm, a land that has been poorly managed by Farmer Jones. Humans roamed the terrains, marking their dominance over the animals. However, a single pig named Major declared that animals demand equality. Which, began the revolution.
