Abuse Of Power In Animal Farm Essay
“How George Orwell explores the abuse of power in Animal Farm?”
The Novel “Animal Farm” is written by George Orwell, and it was published in England on 17 August 1945. This novel takes the form of an allegory. The author George Orwell gives the message of Animal Farm; is that all violent revolutions which aim to and initially succeed in his charge. Power is the ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way. Mr Jones was the owner of Animal Farm and didn’t treat the animals in a pleasant way and after Napoleon had taken charge of Animal farm and ruled as his farm. He made rules for Animal Farm. He created so many situations
Here are some power situation in Animal Farm:

made the hens to sacrifice their life’s as they laid eggs and died.
Napoleon has a team of dogs that he uses to control the animals through fear.
The pigs in Animal Farm became corrupted through power similar to Stalin.
Snowball ran away as he betrayed everyone at the farm
The Farm name was changed to Manor Farm
All the crimes happened and No one in the farm ever knew who it was but Napoleon had always suspected Snowball.
Boxer died, Napoleon threat other animals by saying I will murder you, he did murder the animals under his control.
Everyone start hating Squealer as he was Napoleon’s right man, he gives the order to the animals as he is given from his boss.
No one at the farm was happy under his leadership.
This was when the Russian Revolution occurred because of the multiplying cases of rebellions, strikes, and war against the government. In the novel Animal Farm there were many similar events that took place. An old pig by the name of Old Major gave a very significant speech to the other animals, which spoke of a revolt against human beings. Snowball was the leader of the revolution. Napoleon, another pig, took over and ruled over the other animals. The animals were soon unable to survive. They had to rely on the humans, whom they had revolted against at the beginning, for existence.
At the Animal Farm, first of all the animals were not happy at all when Jones was in charge of the farm as he did all the jobs wrong and did not feed the animals and only made them suffer, The animals suffer only one casualty, but many of the men whom Jones brings in from the Foxwood and Pinchfield farms are injured; defeated and frightened, he flees his property, never to return. But in the aftermath of a very damaging lawsuit he becomes an alcoholic and became known for his harsh rule over the animals. This all lead to the animals rebel by driving out Mr. Jones, his wife and his workers, and remove him from power, supposedly ending the days of extreme hunger and labour. And the animals are free but once again they were
not happy as Napoleon took in charge.
.“The pigs did not actually work, but directed and supervised the others. With their superior knowledge it was natural that they should assume the leadership” (Chapter 3). The pigs thought that they were the boss and tell the other animals what to do. They were happy as they had no problem. Orwell further demonstrates of power in “Animal Farm” when the pigs break the most important commandment of all – No animal shall kill any other animal. This is broken when the pigs
Orwell’s clever use and manipulation of language throughout the novel further strengthens his political message. One of the most obvious ways this is done is through the song “Beasts of England” which inspires the animals to... Furthermore, the Ten Commandments are soon altered. “But when Muriel reads the writing on the barn wall to Clover, interestingly, the words are, ‘No animal shall kill any other animal without cause.’” By changing the commandments the pigs have
Snowball is run off Animal Farm by Napoleon’s dogs. Snowball did not like the tyranny, dictatorship, neither the oppression had by that other main pig. Napoleon used the puppies he raised to run (expel) Snowball off the farm (Chapter 5).
Overall, George Orwell does explore the abuse of power in Animal Farm, as I think. As he relates the situation in his novel “Animal Farm” to the Russian Revolution as he has the characters in Animal Farm roles same as the Russian Revolution people. Like the Trotsky, Churchill etc. George Orwell explores the dangers of power and the violent consequences of corruption and the abuse of power. Orwell uses characterisation, turning points and language. George Orwell effectively reflects the abuses of power in Soviet Russia in Animal Farm, in Russia this resulted in communism, and in animal farm they were all apparently equal to each other. I think it is bad for the farm and if I as the leader , nothing would happen as I would stand up for everyone and fight and I would not be selfish as Mr Jones and Napoleon who are “Greedy”.
