Animal Farm Corruption Essay

Animal Farm is a political fable based on the events of Russia's Bolshevik revolution and the betrayal of the cause by Joseph Stalin.George Orwell’s Animal Farm examines the insidious ways in which public officials can abuse their power, as it depicts a society in which democracy dissolves into autocracy and finally into totalitarianism. From the Rebellion onward, the pigs of Animal Farm use violence and the threat of violence to control the other animals.While it is true that the pigs and dogs led to the farm’s corruption, the pigs were the ones that did the most corruption of Animal Farm. One factor that led to the corruption of animal farms was how good the pigs were at manipulating the animals. If it wasn’t for them being so good at it

In the beginning of the story they made seven commandments that all animals were to follow. Throughout the story the animals followed the commandments ,but toward the end they are confused but the commandments seem to have changed. The statement “Let's face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short.” shows that Napoleon didn’t care for the commandments because pigs live miserable short lives, so Napoleon didn’t care for the commandments that he made. Napoleon was good at dictating everyone. He had so much hatred for human beings because they whipped them, made them starve, and made them work hard.Napoleon states “Man serves the interests of no creature except himself.” He truly believes that men only care about themselves but he is lying to himself because he is the same way and only cares for himself and the other pigs.

This quote shows how Napoleon likes to lie because not all four legged things are

The only smart animals in Animal Farm were the pigs, So Napoleon and Snowball were the ones to take charge when they booted Mr. Jones out. The other animals were to dumb to realize what needed to be done so they did not take charge and only to orders from Snowball and Napoleon. The only one who was half smart was Boxer. He was always the one who was working hard to get things done. Boxer had one quote that he liked to say “I will work harder, Napoleon is always right.” Boxer believed that everything Napoleon said or dictated that he was right, but he had no knowledge of what was really going on. If the other animals had any knowledge of what was going on I think they would have been able to stand up for themselves and fight back. The author stated “Several of them would have protested if they could have found the right arguments.” They would have been able to protest what was dictated but none of the animals could figure out what arguments they could argue, so they just followed what Napoleon and Snowball said. The main goal throughout the story was to get the windmill built, Napoleon had the animals working so hard to get it done. With how bad he wanted the windmill built Napoleon stated “Windmill or no windmill, he said, life would go on as it had always gone on --that is, badly.” Napoleon wanted the animals to think that life was bad but if they were
