George Orwell's Animal Farm

512 Words3 Pages

The introduction to my Literary Analysis for “Animal Farm” by George Orwell is that the animals on the farm and the pigs own the animals and land on the farm. The pigs are rude and mean and they don’t care about the other animals on the farm and they didn’t like snowball and they exiled him for thinking about the windmill. The short summary would be that the pigs don’t care and they should be exiled they changed the rules on the side of the barn and nobody even said anything and they were afraid to tell anyone. The thesis is that this is all because the pigs are in charge. The Betrayal of Political Idealism is where Napoleon and the committee of the pigs now make all of the decisions instead of voting after the discussions. Pigs take charge and take their own special rewards such as the milk and apples. The importance is that the pigs are taking the food and milk that the other animals could eat or drink to get stronger so that they could work harder and faster. “In the future all questions relating to the working of the farm would be settled by a special committee of pigs, presided over by himself.” The pigs are sleeping in human beds. The importance of this is that the pigs are betraying the rule that says “No animal shall sleep in a bed.” …show more content…

Because with every word he gains more and more control of the farm. The importance is that if he gains more control the more animals would want to leave to get far away from him. Napoleon wants to control the farm by controlling the young. The importance is that if he controls the young, he can train them to be mean and hurt the other animals to where they submit to him. “No one knew where the dogs came from, but they were the puppies that Napoleon had taken from their mothers and raised them privately. They stayed close to Napoleon. They wagged their tails to Napoleon the way they way wagged their tails at

All the power made him want even more power. When this happened, Napoleon twisted all the principles Animal Farm was built on to justify his actions. He sent his puppies to kill anyone who was on Snowball’s side. He justified this action by adding on the rule that says, “No animal shall kill any other animal.” He added without cause to the end so that he wouldn’t get reprimanded for killing other animals.

The rulers of the farm take advantage of the low reading skills that the rest of the animals possess and use that weakness against them, as the animals just believe whatever the pigs tell them to, as they have no reason not to. The pigs’ goals seem intact and they do

This relates to the theme because, throughout the story, the pigs have been in charge because they have more knowledge than the other animals. They were also really clever and could think of a way around every difficulty the farm experienced. ( Orwell 13) In the middle of the story, some crucial rules were being changed and the animals did not do anything about it. “ … pigs not only took their meals in the kitchen and used the drawing-room as a recreation room, but also slept in the beds.”

And it’s getting worse when he selled boxer to a slaughterer to have money for buying more alcohol, even if all of the barley is already reserve to the pigs. He begin to act like a human, meet them, smoke, drink alcohol and wear clothes. To show that all of the goal of the first rebellion never continue that way, they change the song Beast of England and the name of the farm for “Manor farm”.

Furthermore, Napoleon gives the other animals the impression he was the sole leader of the rebellion on Animal farm and makes Snowball -a leader who wanted what was best for the animals- seem like an enemy who was in cahoots with Farmer Jones since long before the animals took over the farm. Napoleon and Squealer (another “fat cat” pig.) always put the blame on Snowball whenever something went wrong in the farm to avoid having the blame fall on them. Napoleon is an exemplary example of just how selfish and hypocritical people can be in furthering their own aims because he continued to subtly but purposely change the seven rules put in place as the pillars of animalism. For example, Napoleon and the other pigs move into Farmer Jones’s house and sleep in his bed after commanding “No animal shall sleep in a bed”, so he changes the commandment to read “no animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets”.

The other animals were just as naive, and because of this, they believed everything Napoleon said. They were too ignorant to question or examine their situation on the farm. The animals are unable and unwilling to act against him, which allowed them to suffer even more at the command of Napoleon.

Although there were many different species of animals on the farm, there was one who stood out; “the pigs, who were generally recognised as being the cleverest of the animals. ”(5) The two front-runners for leadership of the farm were Snowball and Napoleon, and while “Snowball often won over the majority by his brilliant speeches,”(15) “Napoleon was better at canvassing support for himself in between times. ”(15)

However, Orwell depicted, “The animals would still assemble on Sunday mornings to salute to the flag, sing Beasts of England, and receive their orders for the week; but there would be no more debates” (Orwell 54). In the past, the animals had the ability to speak out at the farm Meetings, even if they chose not to. However, now that Napoleon took this right away from them, he got to be in charge of all the decisions for the farm and no one could contradict him. As Animal Farm developed, the pigs slowly disregarded animals’ rights and opinions, and the farm subtly gained more dystopian

Napoleon had also shown the key theme of lying. He chooses to betray the animals by making business with the humans as he betrayed Old Major ’s ideals called Animalism where it includes not to mix with the humans as they are tyrants.

With their superior knowledge it was natural that they should assume the leadership.”

Right after Squealer defended the pigs sleeping in the farmhouse, the pigs were given another special benefit. “...it was announced that from now on the pigs would get up an hour later in the mornings than the other animals…”(Page 62). Why can’t the other animals wake up later? This announcement proves that the pigs were given more benefits than all the other animals. Another example of this discrimination is how all the pigs and dogs have comfortable beds and enough food to feed their large community.

It ran: ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS” (Orwell 118). The original Seven Commandments are essentially what make up the foundation of Animalism and are based on the principles created by Old Major. By slimming them down to just one single Commandment, and also changing the meaning of them, the pigs ruin the entire purpose of the Rebellion. Instead of expressing the true ideas of Animalism inspired by Old Major of all animals being equal and keeping away from human beings, the pigs portray the opposite of that. The reader is certain that Napoleon’s autocracy has destroyed Animal Farm’s language when Napoleon tells his fellow humans, “Hitherto the animals on the farm had had a rather foolish custom of addressing one another as "Comrade.

Napoleon also uses manipulation to gain and maintain a firm control by changing the Commandments for the farm in ways that work to his benefit. Squealer, Napoleon’s propaganda department, Keeps the farm animals believing in Napoleon by describing what they hear and see to make it seem harmless. Using effective tactics of fear, convincing propaganda, and manipulation, Napoleon gains and maintains control of Animal Farm. “Animal Farm” has corruption and equality in a way the animals try to succeed and achieve a goal to make the farm better.
