How Does Squealer Help Napoleon In Animal Farm

Napoleon’s greed is also exemplified when he sells Boxer’s body to the knacker, in order to get money to buy whiskey. The Animals of Animal Farm find out from Squealer, the pig who spreads propaganda, that “...the expensive medicines for which Napoleon had paid without a thought as to the

None of the animals...except for old Benjamin...seemed to understand...” That quote means that Napoleon forced squealer to go change the commandments to benefit the pigs. The pigs think they are superior over the other animals even though the farm's motto is “Four legs good, two legs bad.” Napoleon wanted to keep superiority over the farm by using fear, propaganda, and Animalism to get his ways at the farm. Napoleon wanted to have complete power over the farm but the animals were catching onto what he was doing to the future of the farm

Squealer instills fear in the animals when he asks, “Surely, comrades, you do not want Jones back” (Orwell 17). Squealer exploits the animals’ fear of Jones’ return to make them obedient to Napoleon’s rule. Thus, by exploiting the animals, Napoleon, who represents Stalin, maintains power by employing cruel propaganda. Although Napoleon’s treatment of the animals was identical to Jones’s, Orwell emphasizes that humans are savage; gaining power at the expense of others demonstrates evil. Furthermore, there were "executions" to the point that "a pile of corpses" lay next to Napoleon, and the air reeked of “the smell of blood” (Orwell 25).

Squealer is the main disseminator of Napoleon’s opinion, who becomes more and more isolated as the story progresses. Squealer tends to use logos in his speeches made throughout the book, but sometimes changes parts of his strategies. Earlier on, he uses vocabulary and concepts beyond most animals to bewilder them; however, later he starts to deploy tactics of carefully choosing words and rhetorical questions that the animals can understand; they then can construe what Squealer is trying to convey in his convincing talks. In Animal Farm, by George Orwell, as time goes on, Squealer develops new tactics to convince the animals the justification of the natural leadership of the pigs, and that all animals remain equal through logos.

Squealer's tone and attitude frightened the other animals, scaring them into obeying his or Napoleon's orders. He says, “But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades.” (P. 55) By warning the animals of the unknown, he forces them into slowly conforming due to fear. He also states, “Surely none of you wishes to see Jones back?”

As the situation was explained “Squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his explanation. ”(Orwell 58). Squealer’s use of fear tactics throughout the story is very persuasive with the simple animals. Using the dogs as enforcers, rationing, and even public executions all help keep the animals submissive. The consequences of Squealer’s use of pathos are mainly positive for him and he easily manipulates most of the animals into keeping Napoleon in power.

Squealer and the dogs never questioned Napoleon’s ways, and blindly followed Napoleon with a full trust in Napoleon’s ways. Meanwhile, as Napoleon was getting other animals to confess, the dogs were punishing by death whoever did not confess. For example, “... when they had finished their confession the dogs promptly tore their throats out, and in a terrible voice Napoleon demanded whether any other animal had anything to confess” (Orwell 84). The dogs took away the animals freedom to live, with no proof that they even did what they confessed. Then as a result of the first killings, the dogs scared the other animals into confessing to things they did not do which takes away the freedom to make choices.

Squealer gives many speeches saying how brave Napoleon is and how the animals should all follow what he says. One example is, “Comrades," he said, "I trust that every animal here appreciates the sacrifice that Comrade Napoleon has made in taking this extra labour upon himself. . . He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be? ” (Orwell pg).

(Orwell, 122). Napoleon started to loose control when the animals realized that Napoleon had lied to them. This is when Squealer steps in and lies the other animals to make it seem like Boxer really was taken to the doctor, and

IN GEORGE ORWELL’S ALLEGORICAL NOVEL ANIMAL FARM REPRESENTS THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION as the story portrays that the animals on a farm rebel against their farmer. Although Boxer represents one of the tricked supporters in the russian revolution he is still the loyal,hardworking,and dedicated horse the other animals view him as. Throughout this novel Boxer has become well liked amongst the animals because of the traits he holds. BOXER SYMBOLIZES A LOYAL FOllower of NAPOLEON. Boxer has shown that he never had doubts about Napoleon as one of his mottos were “Comrade Napoleon is always right” (39).ALTHOUGH NAPOLEON WAS A MANIPULATIVE BOAR BOXER HAD TRUSTED HIM.However BOXER HAD proven HIS LOYALTY TO NAPOLEON NUMEROUS

The animals that Napoleon leads resemble the ignorant, but hardworking people of Soviet Russia. These animals are easily manipulated by Napoleon, because they are uneducated. They are oblivious to how unfairly they are treated. Boxer’s motto is a prime example of how the animals look at their government. Boxer often says: “Napoleon is always right!”

What does Squealer do to convince him? -- He tells Boxer that Comrade Napoleon said it himself. 5. What happened to animals who confessed?

Boxer, who had now had time to think things over, voiced the general feeling by saying: ‘If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right.’ And from then on he adopted the maxim, ‘Napoleon is always right,’ in addition to his private motto of ‘I will work harder.’” (37). In this piece from Animal Farm, Boxer mentioned how everything Napoleon says is right, and how the animals must follow Napoleon, since he is always right. Boxer is brainwashed to believe Napoleon is good for the farm, and since Boxer is very well respected on the farm the other animals may be led to believe this as well, but by Boxer saying these few sentences it makes the reader realize how he is a loyal follower of Napoleon and how much loyalty he has towards what Napoleon says and does and the loyalty he has to what he thinks will help [Napoleon] and be best for him.

Napoleon made the animals work hard to earn a reward. No matter what napoleon did squealer was always there to convince the other animals by telling a lie for example: “Comrades!’’ he cried. “You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples”(35).

Squealer keeps reading from a list of the weather conditions remaining to anything the animals knew under Mr. Jones wanted them to only continue to keep working harder. Napoleon has now become the leader and has many other titles as well.
