Stalin Animal Farm

So Benjamin gets tired of this and talks to all animals in the farm and they talk about standing up to him. They all get together and attack Napoleon and the nine dogs could not stop ALL the animals. So finally Napoleon gets kicked out of the farm all because Benjamin took a little bit of action to stop it all. That’s takes a little bit of leadership if you ask me. So I guess he was a Leader and

Old Major, the pig, rasped out in his speech that, “The life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plain truth.” Old Major had gathered all the animals together in the barn and expressed his desire for the slavery and cruelty to end. The old pig proposed a rebellion in which all the animals rebel against Mr. Jones. Granted, Old Major stated that the rebellion may not take place in any of the animals’ life times. However, after the death of the old pig, the rebellion happened arbitrarily and without warning.

Published in 1945, Animal Farm is a satirical dystopian novella written by English author George Orwell, and is perhaps his best known work. An allegorical tale, Animal Farm tells a literal story - of the animals on the farm - that is intended to be representative of another situation - Stalin 's rise in the Soviet Union. Animal Farm opens on Manor Farm, where animals are subservient to their human master, a farmer named Jones. One night an aged boar called Old Manor calls a meeting of his fellow animals, and puts forth the call that they should one day rise up in rebellion against the humans who enslave them. Old Manor suggests that once humans have been overthrown, no animal should act like a human by sleeping in a bed, wearing clothes, drinking alcohol, or engaging in trade.

In Animal Farm Napoleon and Snowball were the original leaders of the farm but after Snowball disagrees with Napoleon, he is immediately sent away and portrayed as an awful traitor who had been scheming a plan the whole time. This kind of unstable government is not a place that I would want to live in. The way he treated the other animals and shut down any suspicions of his actual plan was cruel and abusive of his power. Another reason I would not like to live in a utopia like the one in Animal Farm is that it seems like it would be very aggravating to see other animals say they support him one-hundred percent and being overall disappointed in my surroundings. While yes I would be an animal if I lived in this utopia I would probably be just as clueless as the other animals on the farm.

Napoleon runs off snowball, kills many of the animals by the use of his vicious dogs, and changes the commandments to fit his wants. The illiterate animals are oblivious to all of the changes being made and continue to work hard to obtain the common goal; build the windmill. Even when it is blown up to pieces, the animals continue to build. This causes extremely long work hours, a lack of food, and famine to all of the animals on the farm.

The pigs eventually give the most orders as they appear to be the most intelligent animals in which the leader turns out to be the pig Napoleon. Eventually, the pigs start harshening the rules on the farm to give themselves an advantage ultimately turning the farm into totalitarianism with brainwashed and exhausted animals. The following analysis will explain several quotes from the text and what the author could’ve meant in reality. After the farm settled after the revolution and was running smoothly, two leader pigs had a conflict. Therefore, Napoleon decided to drive out the second pig, Snowball, out of the farm.

Stalin vs. Trotsky. Napoleon vs. Snowball. These animals are the people that want to change everything. The change isn’t necessarily for the better. In 1917 Czar Nicholas 11 was overthrown just like Mr. Jones was ran out of the farm.

One example was when tension arose between Napoleon and Snowball shortly after he came up with the idea of the windmill. Napoleon became envious of Snowballs gain in popularity and ended up executing him from the farm. Another theme played in the novel is revolution and corruption. Animal Farm depicts a revolution in progress. Old Major gives the animals a new perspective on their situation under Mr. Jones, which leads them to envision a better future free of human

The sheep sang “four legs good, two legs better” as the pigs walked, Orwell symbolized this as the pigs not being any different than man. Orwell had the pigs and men meet together and the animals saw no

Snowball realizes that all of the animals cannot remember the Seven Commandments down to a single phrase: “Four legs good, two legs bad.” The pigs are also getting preferential treatment, as they get all of the milk and apples on the farm. The idea of the rebellion spread to other farms and animals everywhere are singing their anthem, Beasts of England. The neighboring farmers attempted to take Animal Farm back by force and they were led by Mr. Pilkington of Foxwood and Mr. Frederick of Pinchfield Farm. Led by Snowball, the animals fight off the invaders in the Battle of Cowshed.

When you think of tyrannical rulers, you never think of pigs, however, in the Animal Farm novel, the cruel behavior, complete control, and the hierarchy of classes, differentiates them from the other animals. The book Animal Farm is about a group of farm animals who have been tortured and mistreated until the animals rebel against their owner. The animals decide to run the farm themselves. Manor Farm has two weeks of perfect utopia; however, the idea of communism is only perfect on paper. The pigs indirectly start to take over the farm.

Imagine yourself rising in power and subconsciously growing in greed, where desires to achieve goals through absolute power gradually leads to its abuse and guides society into corruption. The allegorical novel, Animal Farm written by George Orwell represents a hidden message of greed, power, and how an individual that has the ability to control others at their command will escalate to a great extent to maintain power in any circumstances. In history, this can be seen through the Russian Revolution in 1917, where as an overall result, dictators with greed and absolute power remained in control. Therefore, greed and power together will lead a society into corruption.
