    "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely," said by John Dalberg-Acton. This quote applies to George Orwell's political novella, Animal Farm: A Fairy Story, which symbolizes the Russian Revolution by portraying various leaders and supporters though allegorical characters. Throughout the fable, Orwell strongly emphasizes the point of how power can easily corrupt the ruler of a society. At the beginning of the story the animals of Manor Farm defeat the tyrannical Mr. Jones after many years of torture in an effort to create a better life for themselves. However, when a new leader comes to power, their original idea of an idealistic society, when put into reality, becomes a dystopia. Napoleon utilizes fear and manipulation…

    More specifically, the outrage Orwell expresses is the benevolent dictatorship of Napoleon. Although Napoleon is based on Stalin, over time he has been taken to represent any political leader corrupted with power. We see Napoleon’s dictatorship in full swing after Snowball, (representing Leon Trotsky) is ousted from power. Napoleon sends orders here, there, everywhere to get what he wants. A previous commandment written by Snowball stated, “All animals are created equal,” this changed to, “All animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others.” Napoleon brainwashes the working class into thinking their life is great, while behind the scenes selling sick animals for liquor and training a pack of killer dogs. Those animals who confess to shocking crimes that they may or may not have done are killed immediately, and Napoleon’s dictatorship is not questioned. This capital punishment is…

    In Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain and The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, the main characters clearly do not play by the rules. In both novels, the protagonists commit their fair share of crimes. Although many of their actions are against the law, the characters are not aiming to cause harm to anyone. By committing some of these crimes, they are attempting to right a wrong, even if that means breaking the law. The point of instituting laws is to uphold morals; to keep people safe and make sure things are as fair as they can be. In some situations, though, as demonstrated by real-life historical events like segregation and by characters like Tom Joad and Huckleberry Finn, the law itself is not so moral. Both Twain's and Steinbeck's…

    George Orwell's Animal Farm is a satire written about the Stalin Era. The events and characters in Animal Farm parallel the early history of the Soviet Union. While all of the animals seem to have parallel characters in the real world, Orwell directly connects the character Napoleon to Joseph Stalin in a letter to the publisher in 1945. Orwell created Napoleon to represent Stalin, a dictator who was supposed to reshape the Soviet Union but instead created many problems during his regime. He used a secret police force that is also noted in animal farm by the puppies that Napoleon raises to be his secret guard dogs. Orwell shows a strong disapproval of the Stalinist corruption of socialist's ideals. This book has become well-known for showing what happens when power is overthrown only to have the over thrower become power-hungry and oppressive. This is represented by the swift transformation of the animals on the farm. The seven principles of animalism, known as the seven commandments, are reduced to a single principle that reads, "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." The animals become more and more like the humans that they had once thought were awful. They walk upright, wear clothes and carry whips. The animals have become the very thing that they had been working against. If nothing else, we are left with the feeling that a totalitarian government is never a good idea.…

    When Napoleon had the power to follow his own rules, Animal Farm fell into a dictatorship. Most people have the ability to know what is right and wrong, but rules are still set to bind a community together. If people did not have set regulations to follow and be disciplined by, society would crumble into…

    One of many reasons Napoleon and Squealer get away with these false allegations is that the animals are too dumb to remember what happened.<br><br>Another way Napoleon uses methods to make him look good is simply changing the rules to favor himself. Squealer again is responsible for the wrongdoing. All of the Seven Commandments of Animal Farm are eventually broken before the commandments are "revised" to prove the pigs did nothing wrong. In the eighth chapter, the commandment that strictly forbids animals to kill one another was cunningly changed to "No animal shall kill any other animal without cause" after a series of executions of supposed traitors and probable Snowball followers. Napoleon forced confessions and eliminated these probable traitors under the newly revised rule. The new rule favored his popularity, respect, and increased his hunger for power.<br><br>Napoleon's actions were not unnoticed though. Those who noticed were intimidated by his guard dogs and were silenced. In one situation, young pigs protested Napoleon's…

    For example, after Napoleon murders many of the animals who are supposedly in league with Snowball, the animals are a bit uneasy because they recall a Commandment that states, "No animal shall kill any another animal" (Orwell 58). Muriel, a literate goat, reads the Commandment after the massacre, and it says, "No animal shall kill any other animal without cause" (151). She thinks that “somehow or other the last two words had slipped out of [her] memory. But [she] saw now that the Commandment had not been violated; for clearly there was good reason for killing the traitors" (165-166). Because Napoleon only educates the wealthy, the rest of the animals are oblivious to what is going on and believe everything that they are told. When Napoleon changes the Commandments, the animals blame their own faulty memories and proceed to believe whatever is written in the commandment because "Napoleon is always right"(111). Napoleon exploits the animals' gullibility when he modifies the Commandments to justify his atrocities and garner even more power. Since the animals only believe what they are told by Napoleon and the media, he is able to maintain his control over the farm. By limiting education to only a select few, Napoleon is able to manipulate the masses and get away with changing things to his…

    In all civilized countries and principalities, laws are used to govern the people. Whether these laws cover economic matters or things as serious as murder, the people must follow them. Laws are not used to oppress or to tightly control the people, but to protect them. For example, theft is illegal because if it was not, people would begin to lost capital without receiving payment in return, causing the economy to fall into ruin. Laws like these are just like the ones God gave Moses on Mount Sinai, the Ten Commandments.…

    Napoleon was seen as the strongest example of Corruption in the book; his use of power was for his own purpose, using the threat of force and coercion to compel the other animals to do his bidding and commands. He uses propaganda to confuse and brainwash some animals in thinking what he is doing is for the greater good of the animals and their home. The use of the Napoleon’s personal dogs was to threaten any animal that opposes his command or protests’. Coercion was also used by Napoleon to fool the unintelligent animals that are easily being misleaded. As Napoleon’s power is unrestricted, he goes further and further with his power abusing it as far as alternating the entire commandment’s all animals lived by. It shows that the attraction for power had already seeped into Napoleons…

    “As Stalin once said ‘a single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic’.” In George Orwell's Animal Farm, Napoleon is directly described because Stalin and Napoleon were both extremely paranoid and killed their own people to stay in power. Animal Farm is an allegorical story that symbolizes the Russian Revolution meaning that all the characters and battles represent the real people and events that lived and occurred during this time. Since Animal Farm is an allegory, there is extreme personification going on because the animals talk and plan like people do. With that said the plot of Animal Farm revolves around all of the hardships that Napoleon caused throughout his leadership. Therefore, George Orwell forecasted that power can be a corruptive force through Napoleon's manipulative…

Doing this gave Napoleon the right to do basically whatever he wanted. The pigs were allowed the break all the commandments they had set. They ate all the good food and drink while the other animals went hungry. The laborers like Boxer said things like, "I'll work harder", only so that the pigs could waste more resources and food.…
