The Differences Between a Pig and a Human Dictator
Some dictators could be cruel, but some could be ever more cruel. Such as Napoleon which was a pig from the book Animal Farm by George Orwell. He was the dictator of Animal farm. Another example of a dictator is Wojciech Jaruzelski he was also a dictator. He ruled poland in 1981-1990. Both Napoleon and Wojciech Jaruzelski were dictators but they were different because Jaruzelski rose to power by getting elected to presidency, declared a martial law, and used his power on the army.

Napoleon and Wojciech Jaruzelski rose to power in different ways. Napoleon rises to power by chasing Snowball off of the farm (Orwell 36). If he did not chase

The pigs were allowed to walk on 2 legs (Orwell 96-97). In the book Animal Farm, laws were put in place to restrict animals from becoming like man, yet in the end one can not tell man from animals. This shows that Napoleon could care less about the rules but is rather selfish. Sunday afternoon the animals have to work or they will not get any food (91). In the beginning what Napoleon says was that everyone would get to have a break on every Sunday but now he bends the rules and says that all animals work on Sunday or the animals will not get any food. This shows that Napoleon was just being nice at first and slowly luring the animals in to do all the work. The answer to Jaruzelski political dilemmas was to declare of Martial law on December 13, 1981 (“Wojciech Witold Jaruzelski”). This was out of his control therefore he thought it was his only choice otherwise he would not have declared Martial law. This shows that he was trying to solve some problems but it turns out it made things worse. Unless Jaruzelski acted against solidarity by declaring Martial law and detaining the movement’s activist (Pick). Jaruzelski probably felt like this was an unavoidable or inescapable thing. Jaruzelski felt like he had no choice; whereas Napoleon breaks laws without a care. Jaruzelski probably even felt sorry for declaring the law because he apologized in his last speech as President of Poland. He also said “It was a …show more content…
Jaruzelski gained power by getting elected to be president, declared a martial law, and used his power to kill. Jaruzelski and Napoleon rose to power in different ways. Jaruzelski did it the casual way unlike Napoleon, who chased his opponent away. When it came to laws, Napoleon was the pig to break all the rules. On the other hand Jaruzelski was the person who tried to fix things, but made them worse. Napoleon and Jaruzelski were about the same as each other when to cruelties. The both of them killed people or animals. All dictators have a characteristic of abusing their power once they gain it. If someone had that same power they would probably also abuse

    Philip Mansel is a historian educated at Eton College, where he was a King’s Scholar, and at Balliol College, Oxford, where he read Modern History and Modern Languages. Mansel argues Napoleon brought Europe into the pinnacle of monarchism. Mansel states the Napoleon’s act of overthrowing historic republics and installing family members on newly created thrones changed European politics and government. Mansel objectively dissects Napoleon’s policies without taking sides. He states Napoleon’s methods and significance, does not state whether the policies are right or wrong. This is a valuable source for illustrating Napoleon’s short term impact on government and politics in the Napoleonic Era.…

    One of the many ways that napoleon stays in power is by animalism. Animalism is a government made up by the pigs, it has seven commandments but can be simplified into “Four legs good, two legs bad”. The pigs changed the commandments throughout the story so that the commandments will benefit them and only them. For example there is a rule that no animal shall drink alcohol, and the pigs took it upon themselves to change the rule while they were under the influence themselves! The new rule read(italics mean the new part) ‘no animal shall drink alcohol to excess” The pigs eventually changed all of the commandments into one rule which read” All animals are equal but some are more equal than others”.…

    The actions and decisions Napoleon made during his rule over France give evidence that he was a tyrant. A tyrant is defined as a ruler who uses power unjustly or oppressively. Napoleon used his power in both of those ways. He not only limited who had power in society, but also controlled the church. By trying to monopolize all of Europe, it is shown how harsh Napoleon's rule was and how tyrannical he really was.…

    “ the way to handle people is to treat them like chickens. Take away everything they have by plucking all their feathers and then throw them a few bread crumbs. Then they will follow you forever.” -Joseph Stalin. “ All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others” - Napoleon the pig. The two harsh leaders undertook any rigid behavior they had to perform, in order to show others who were disobeying their orders that they were in charge. This made much of the public petrified of them. Joseph Stalin was known to be a very brutal leader and was put at fault for as many as 20 million deaths. Similar to Stalin was Napoleon who was also known for being a ruthless leader to the other animals on Animal Farm. Both Joseph Stalin and Napoleon…

    An example is from Alexander's legacy “Estimated enemy soldiers and civilians killed in four major battles.” Did he have to kill that many people in four major battles? He could have killed the soldiers but civilians died too, and that’s just wrong and cruel! The next example is from Destruction of Tyres “ [soldiers] ranged through the city on a ferocious manhunt.” That means even though the civilians did nothing, he wanted everything to be destroyed and ferocious manhunt means bad things are going to happen to Tyre. Does that sound like a good king? This is the first reason that explains why Alexander was a dictator.…
