    Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer have taken charge especially, and they have expanded Old Major’s concept into a “complete system of thought” called Animalism. They hold frequent meetings in the big barn to espouse the views of Animalism to the other farm animals. At first, the animals are not convinced that they should follow Animalism. Some feel loyalty to Mr. Jones, some worry that they cannot be self-sufficient, and others, such as Mollie, worry about losing treats such as sugar and ribbons. Snowball contradicts Mollie, saying that the ribbons are “the badge of slavery” and that “liberty is worth more than ribbons” (37).…

    Vladimir Lenin once said “Sometimes - history needs a push”. What Lenin is referring to in this quote is revolution, which is just what the animals on Mr. Jones’s farm plan to do in belief that animals are superior to humans and should be treated better than slaves to man in George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm. Mr. Jones treats the animals on his farm with little to no respect for their well-being, seeming to only care about the income they supply for him. When the idea of taking what they feel is rightfully theirs is brought on by a wise pig, Old Major, the animals start a rebellion. Sometimes together and sometimes not, the animals learn to manage the farm on their own and survive together without the help of humans. George Orwell uses specific parallels in the novel to connect the characters and events on Animal Farm to their equivalents in the Russian Revolution. Both figuratively and literally, the main figures in Animal Farm are directly linked to real life people who took part in the Russian Revolution through how they acted, what they did, and what they believed in to show a different representation of running a civilization and war.…

    Animal Farm is the account of a fictional farm under the tyrannical ownership of Farmer Jones. The animals reach breaking point, and start a revolution against the tyranny of man. The revolution starts off to better the situation and the animals are happy with what they have. But over time, the pigs become most powerful animals on the farm. They turn the farm from a free democratic state into a communist state. The pigs then state that “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others”. As the book is actually a satirical commentary, it has a direct analogy to society. In Animal Farm’s case, it is the…

    Another aspect that Old Major has fulfilled is his directness. I feel that he can quickly and clearly direct his message to the animals quickly, and all the animals understand what he says and means. As for Squealer, he plays with the animals, leading them in a maze that goes round and round. Only the smartest of them understood what he really meant. After he…

    The second idea is that man is a threat, not just to the wellbeing of the animals but to their very lives as ‘no animal escapes the cruel knife in the end’. The hens’ eggs do not hatch into chickens, the pigs will ‘scream’ their lives out at the block, when Boxer’s muscles give out he will be sent to the knacker and when the dogs grow old ‘Jones ties a brick round their necks and drowns them’. This idea is threatening towards the animals which gives them one more reason to agree to the revolution as they would feel threatened an un easy if they did nothing to prevent their fate that the Old Major described.…

    Never listen when they tell you that Man and animals have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the others. It is all lies. Man serves the interest of no creature except himself. And among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle. All men are enemies. All animals are comrades.(10)…

    Old major persuades the animals to believe in his ideals by manipulating them. The language he uses is very manipulative and he always refer the animals to ‘Comrades’ which means friend or someone who is trusted, which catches their attention and persuade them. This also foreshadows what happens in the Russian Revolution where Lenin persuades the Russian people that the country should be a communist country. ‘I feel it my duty to pass on to you such wisdom’ This implies that the message he’s going to say is very important. ‘such wisdom’ is a hyperbole as he exaggerates his message.…

    He says, “For myself I do not grumble, for I am one of the lucky ones. [p. 8]” It is interesting to note that throughout his speech, Old Major uses the pronouns “we”, “us”, and “our”, which includes himself with the animals in their struggles, but then he excludes himself by considering himself fortunate not to have dealt with such struggles, thus contradicting the way he brought up the issue as being everyone’s, including his, problem. He says he is fortunate but also says “But no animal escapes the cruel knife in the end. [p. 9]” He declares that everyone will face the same fate, yet later we see that Old Major dies peacefully and is buried [p.…
