The animals of Manor Farm overthrow their hu hu populace race master (Mr. J one and only(a)s) after a long fib of mistreatment. Little by little, the pigs become dominant, gaining more antecedent and advantage over the former(a) animals, so much so that they become as grease ones palms and power-hungry as their predecessors, the homophile being. Major (an old boar) tells them that the source of all their problems is man, and that they must carry bump off man from their midst for hopes of a Utopia. After Majors death catnap and increase, two boars led the rebellion were soon things start to change. Orwell builds Napoleons c beer in reference to this quote, Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Napoleon cheated, manipulated, and killed b e execute of esurience for ones place in power. Mr. Jones tries to reclaim his power but the animals prevent him from doing so in what they call The Battle of the Cowshed. After the battle, Napoleon drives Snowball off the farm telling perpetuallyyone that Snowball was on Mr. Jones side. This is just the dismayning of what Napoleons plans argon for the future of Manor Farm. This is no surprise coming from Napoleon, based on what he has done before, always disagreeing with Snowballs plans and thinking of his own. Napoleon is further comprehended by the new(prenominal) animals for exposing and removing the traitor, Snowball, from their midst.Animal Farm is a direct par to the Russian Revolution and its aftermath, as a result of Joseph Stalins Communism. Orwell substitutes animals for humans, so the astronomic concepts of communism argon shown on the farm. Communism is meant to be a cabaret where all people are equal, yet the revolution of the Russians results in certain(p) peo ple having more power over others, but those people are the same kind of tyrants. The pigs take over because they think that they are the smartest and in order to protect them, its eventually decided to reserve the best nourishment for them. George Orwells Animal Farm uses satire to show the political ideology and the disparage of power in communistic auberge.Orwell uses humorous satire by devising the setting on a farm and the characters animals. Orwell, then, shows the perversion of political ideals and the putrescence of power which occur in human societies. The power of the new society becomes corrupt and the people arent all equal. Napoleon, stalin, slaughters the animals that disagree with him and who dont follow his orders. Napoleon slaughters the animals to get a line fear into the other animals so that they dont rebel. When napoleon accuses snowball of destroying the windmill, even though it wasnt him. This shows that Napoleon even lies when it comes to making snowba ll look bad to the other animals.The main characters are animals but their failings are all too recognisably human. They begin with an attempt to form a new society, separated from the tyranny of humans and established on the principle of equality and freedom for ein truthone, but it all goes wrong as the pigs take over. The animals, russian people, try to create a new society and government but the new system didnt melt well as curtain groups took over. Protected by the brute power of the dogs, the pigs give themselves all manner of comforts and even luxuries for themselves, while treating the other animals in the same way as slavery and how they suffered under(a) humans. Napoleon, stalin, uses the dogs, which is the kgb, to dash the people into obeying him and following his orders.Orwell uses irony throughout that goes hand-in-hand with satire. Majors words in the beginning of the book reflect throughout the novel, all men are enemies. . . we must not match them. . . no animal must ever tyrannize his own according to Robert Girards , because they become a blueprint for the very behaviors of Napoleon once hes established his dominance over his own. The commandments change as his control over the animals changes and erases the original purposes of the revolution. The farmhouse, a symbol of the evil of man, is co-opted by Napoleon as his own and helps transform him into the being indistinguishable from men. The windmill, a symbol of the Revolution, becomes the means to manage the animals. Rebuilding it certainly focuses their energies on one task and not on their health, but in making Snowball the enemy for its destruction, Napoleon convinces the animals into being more determined and faithful to their cause by telling them that they do not want to work under the tyranny of Jones or one of his agents. Yet, in the end, they are exchanging one tyrant for another.Throughout the whole novel a strong pronounce is said, either animals are equal, but some animal s are more equal than others., this phrase shows what the animals originally tried to create in the beginning of the novel. When the new society started to build it became less and less equal, this is stated when Orwell states,The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again but already it was impossible to sound out which was which., this shows that the original society was starting to resurface but the pigs being man instead.Orwells point that the pigs are really just the same as the human tyrants they replaced is expressed in the ending of the novel, as the pigs mingle with humans to the result that it becomes impossible to distinguish between them and the humans. Although the specific animals and events that he uses clearly resemble particular parallels in the real world, their status as symbols allows them to signify beyond specific times and places.Work citedKirschner, Paul.
