Chapter 8 Animal Farm

Jones and the pigs. At the start of the film the farm is shown as an unfair and unhappy place and that’s why the animals decide to have a meeting in the barn. During the meeting old major discussed the “miserable, laborious and short” lives of his fellow animals. When Mr. Jones is running the farm the animals are worked as slaves and get just enough food to keep breath in their bodies and killed mercilessly when they are not useful anymore. Old Major relates a dream that he had the previous night, of a world in which animals live without the cruelty of men and they are free, happy, well fed, and treated with dignity.

No animal shall kill any other animal 7.) All animals are equal. ”(Document A). All the pigs including Napoleon changed,bent, or removed a commandment. “Four legs good two legs better!

The animals did not remember this, they thought that Snowball fought brave against the humans. Napoleon uses this to make him seem like he is going to be a better leader than Snowball would have been if he did not leave the farm. Napoleon also has the animals call him “Our leader comrade Napoleon”, to make him seem like a good

Napoleon and Snowball were the main characters to achieve victory in the war, therefore, they were named as "Animal Hero, First Degree. " Burying the weapon was symbolic of having won the battle and every anniversary he shot himself into the sky using that pistol to remember his victory. 1. She escapes to achieve her desire to be cared for by humans 2. Snowball wanted the construction of the windmill although Napoleon detested the idea completely, in the text, this was a representation of communism.

Snowball was run out of the farm and made seem a horrible and untrustworthy leader to make Napoleon seem better and more “on top”. At times, Napoleon even gave himself more superior titles like “our Leader, Comrade Napoleon, Father of all Animals, Terror of Mankind, Protector of the Sheep-fold, Ducklings’ Friend, and the like…. It had become usual to give Napoleon the credit for every successful achievement and every stroke of good fortune.”. Napoleon made every good thing that happened his fault but any mistake, or bad thing that happened, was at the fault of Snowball, although he was run off of the

The old pig sparks rebellion against the Mr. Jones due to their beliefs that humans are a threat as they use the animals for their own consumption and benefit. As time passes reframing is also shown in chapter 5 when Napoleon turns his back on Snowball because of their constant disagreements. After the dogs successfully chased off Snowball, Squealer states that Snowball was a traitor and in reality no better than a criminal; lying for the benefit of Napoleon. When the windmill is approved, in private Squealer once more chimes in on the redirecting, sharing to the other animals that the windmill was Napoleon's idea all along, and Snowball stole it. Supposedly Napoleon only seemed to oppose the idea to get rid of Snowball; which was in fact

Secondly, another hate speech appears when the windmill blows down in a gale and the animals are in shock. Napoleon uses this situation to put the blame on Snowball as he said that "Do you know the enemy who has come in the night and overthrown our windmill? SNOWBALL!" (73) and that “Snowball has done this thing! In sheer malignity, thinking to set back our plans and avenge himself for his ignominious expulsion, this traitor has crept here under cover of night and destroyed our work of nearly a year."

They often disagreed on many issues involving the farm until Napoleon expelled Snowball from the farm. However even after the expulsion of Snowball, with the use of persuasive language the pigs still find a way to blame him for any misfortune the farm may encounter. To begin, the pigs blame Snowball for destroying the windmill in which the animals worked soo long to build. “Comrades," he said quietly, ‘do you know who is responsible for this? Do you know the enemy who has come in the night and overthrown our windmill?

After the windmill is destroyed, Napoleon blames Snowball by saying that he is the traitor who is trying "to set back our plans and avenge himself for his ignominious expulsion” (82). Napoleon’s strong desire to keep power drives him to blame Snowball for the destruction of the windmill to make him look good, so he would not be blamed for all the destructions and injuries that occur within the Farm. This impels the animals to assume that Snowball is the victim and consequently the animals would rely on Napoleon to keep Snowball away for their protection. Squealer swindles the animals saying that the windmill was actually Napoleon’s invention and that his opposition towards it is just a fabrication in order “to get rid of Snowball, who was a dangerous character and a bad influence” (71). Napoleon’s only strategy is to make the animals under the impression that Snowball is the source of all destructions in order to keep his power.

In Animals Farm, there is a pig who’s name Napoleon. This character did not contributed to the society with his actions. In effect, he did not respect the concept of “Animalism” which is the equality of all the animals. He did many actions that broke this conception during the entire story. At the beginning, Napoleon, take the farm with Snowball when the farmer, Mr. Jones, left.

The upperclass animals were treated and fed properly after the rebellion. Napoleon and Snowball began as the leaders of the farm, with Snowball having most of the power. Snowball and Napoleon could never get along or agree upon anything, especially building the windmill. Napoleon came to the conclusion that he wanted to be the boss so bad he abolished Snowball from the farm. Behind Napoleon and Snowball, before he was abolished from the farm, on the totem pole was the rest of the pigs.

Being one of the intelligent animals on the farm, they trust Napoleon, having faith that he will direct the farm in a civilized way. Napoleon gains a large amount of power by having communication outside of the Farm, with people and other animals. He also gains trust by following the rules in the beginning. The narrator writes, “Every day, Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons whose instructions were to mingle with the animals on neighbouring farms, tell them” (Orwell, 16). This earns the animals trust because they believe that Napoleon is trustworthy and spreading good news about the

In chapter five of George Orwell’s Animal Farm, fear becomes a primary component in silencing the animals. Snowball uses his intelligence to design a windmill, speaking above Napoleon. With Snowballs ingenious ideas, comes controversy. Napoleon disagrees with the windmill idea so his followers speak against it, forming a divide in the animals. When finishing his speech about why the windmill should the build, Snowball gets attacked and chased out of the farm by Napoleon’s trained dogs.

Nine hens died during the rebellion. In the meantime Napoleon begins deciding whether to sell some wood the farm possesses to either Pinchfield farm (run by Mr. Frederick), or Foxwood farm (run by Mr. Pilkington). It is later revealed that Snowball had been roaming the farm at night, sabotaging the farm, and regardless of what problem there is in the farm, it is suddenly attributed to Snowball. At this Napoleon and the dogs begin security inspections of the farm. Squealer later announces to the farm that Snowball was recently revealed to have been allied to Frederick of Pinchfield, and that a plot has been found, indicating an imminent attack.

Jones doesn’t try anymore to take his farm back and he moves to another country. The pigs then go into the farmhouse and start sleeping on the beds. Napoleon changed the commandments without the animals knowing, and convinced the animals that they weren’t breaking any rules. The animals were so dumb that they believed Napoleon. A storm causes the windmill to fall down, but
