Napoleon's Treatment Of Animals In Animal Farm

Animal Farm Animal Farm shows how society functions by using animals instead of humans. At the beginning, Napoleon treats his followers fairly. He respected them first, but at the end, he treated them extremely poorly. “Vote for Napoleon and he’ll fully take care of the farm,” (Orwell, Page 50) In the evidence, Napoleon treat the animals like citizens and let them vote for him. At the beginning of his reign, he helped out with the farm a bit. “Napoleon ended of his speech with his usual cry of “Long live animal farm” and after singing ‘Beasts of England’,” (Orwell, Page 64) but later on when he gets more control of the farm, he makes them stop singing that. He claims “It starts rebellion.” It's important that they stopped singing
Napoleon killed the hens and force them to give up their eggs.“On Sunday morning, Squealer approached the hens who had just come in too lay again, must surrender their eggs.” (Orwell, Page 76) He greatly upsetted them by making them give away their chicks to be eaten. If they wouldn’t give away their eggs, he would force them anyway and then killed them. “He ordered the hens’ rations to be stopped and any animal that gave so much as a grain would be punishable by death.” (Orwell, Page 76) He forces the animals to let the hens starve, which resulted into their deaths. Napoleon mistreated the animals, and if they didn’t follow his orders, they could be killed. Napoleon started to act less like the animal he said he’ll be and more like the human he said he’ll never be. Page 76, “Napoleon acted swiftly and ruthlessly.” He took away the hen’s babies and got rid of Snowball and Boxer because he thought that Snowball would get all the animals to take his side and make him their leader. He also got rid of Boxer because Napoleon was afraid that Boxer would inspire them to work harder. He treated the animals like peasants, while he acted as he was the king. “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again, but it was impossible which was which.” (Orwell, Page 141) Napoleon and his friends act so much like the men, that you couldn’t tell them apart. Napoleon disrespects the animals and takes advantage of them many, many times. This book shows how the society goes on by using animals, such as Napoleon, the power driven animal, who will stop at nothing to get all the power he can get. George Orwell wrote this book to show how unequal the Russian government was being to their people. Orwell demonstrated how change can be good at first, but it can turn out to be bad. It represents how power can be abused easily. The farm shows how society can start off with good intentions and how it can
