Animal Farm an Allegory for the Russian Revolution
Russian history is full of many wars and conflicts throughout its existence; however, one of the most controversial conflicts in modern history is the
Russian Revolution. Russia was under imperial rule and led by Czar Nicholas II. He was often referred to as a dictator, and after years of oppression,
the people of Russia began to rebel. During this time, the Russian government was exposed and weak, thus resulting in the severely neglected
Bolsheviks seizing power. Soon after the Russian Revolution concluded, the communist party established the Soviet Union. Similarly, in George
Orwell's Animal Farm, animals on Manor Farm were neglected and overworked by...show more content...
The most notable similarity between the Russian Revolution and Animal Farm is the form of government established after the revolution by those who
are oppressed. After the Russian Revolution occurs a communist government is established. Communism focus on the principles of everyone equally
sharing in the wealth created by labor, and that all people are equal. Animalism has almost identical principles in which each animal shares the crops,
food, etc. created by labor, as well as all animals are to be treated equally. Secondly, both communism and animalism are extremely susceptible to
corruption. For example, in the system of communism there is a single leader, or small group, over the state, which controls all government affairs as
well as the economy. With a single person in control of the economy and government corruption occurs due to the fact that there is no accountability for
their actions. In Animal Farm, a similar result of corruption was procured under the system of animalism. The pigs became the leaders of the animals,
due to their intelligence, and began to take advantage of other animals to benefit themselves. The pigs had no accountability to follow the principles of
animalism because the

Totalitarian Allegory Essay
Communism is one of the worst forms of totalitarianism, which is a form of government which tries, or does control every aspect of life.
Communism is one of the worst due to many believing it will "free you from oppression". This book, though it was written in 1954, is still relevant
today. Communism may not be as common, or heard of as much today. It is still a threat, you see the things in the book still happen in China, North
Korea, Cuba, and more. The plot also could reference other totalitarian revolutions, such as the Korean war, (the creation of North Korea). As well as
the Cuban revolution in 1959, when Fidel Castro rose to power.

They are allegories to people of the Soviet Union though. Such as Napoleon is Joseph Stalin. Napoleon is Stalin in this book, but he could also be
Fidel Castro, Kim Jong Un, and other totalitarian leaders. George Orwell intended this to be Soviet Union specific, but it is flexible to today's
totalitarian governments around the world. "Napoleon is always right". (Page 27: paragraph 1, Animal Farm). Snowball, who was expelled from
the farm, and falsely labelled a traitor by Napoleon, closely is supposed to be Trotsky. One of the main creators of the Soviet Union, who after
Lenin died was labelled as a traitor and was deported to Mexico by Stalin. Lastly, there was Old Major. It could be argued that he was Lenin, but he
did not live to see the revolution like Lenin did. He also created the concept of Animalism, which is an allegory to Communism, which are both
totalitarianism. Which means, Old Major would be Karl Marx. Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848 with Frederick Engels. He was one of
the creators of Communism, as Old Major created Animalism. "THREE nights later, Old Major died peacefully in his sleep". (Page 7: paragraph 1,

The Allegory In Animal Farm, By George Orwell
''All animals are equal but, some animals are more equal than others". Animal Farm by George Orwell, published by the Penguin Group in 2008 and
sold more than 20 million copies worldwide (Middendorp), captivated many individuals to realize the harsh truth about privilege. George Orwell
wrote the book during the war as a cautionary fable in order to expose the seriousness of the dangers posed by Stalinism and totalitarian government
(Asnes). The allegory takes place in Manor Farm that is owned by a drunken farmer that doesn't care about his animals. It is true that Animal Farm is a
book about animals conquering a farm, however, in reality, there are many hidden truths about the Russian Revolution that Orwell tried to include. Mr.
Jones, The owner of Manor Farm is careless towards his...show more content...
Rather, he is a quiet observer (Asnes). The story revolves around animals that are trying to seize a farm for their rights, however, the story has a much
deeper meaning to It. Orwell took part of the Spanish civil war and witnessed the Russian revolution. In the allegory, Orwell cleverly symbolized each
animal and events to the occurrences of the revolution for example Mr. Jones, the owner of the farm represents the last emperor of Russia, Nicholas
Alexandrovich Romanov. Snowball represents Leo Trotsky that eventually gets expelled from the Politburo. Napoleon is Joseph Stalin, the second
leader of the Soviet Union (wisecrack). Orwell thought of everything thoroughly including the names of the animals. I think the arrogant pig was
specifically named Napoleon because in the French revolution an emperor called Napoleon Bonaparte was an outstanding leader but arrogance caught
up to him. Orwell used animals instead of humans because he wanted to weave in Animals as characters because Animals can't interact as humans.

Animal Farm Essay
George Orwell includes a strong message in his novel Animal Farm that is easily recognizable. Orwell's Animal Farm focuses on two primary
problems that were not only prominent in his WWII society, but also posed as reoccurring issues in all societies past and present. Orwell's novel
delivers a strong political message about class structure and oppression from the patriarchal society through an allegory of a farm that closely
resembles the Soviet Union. George Orwell wrote Animal Farm: A Fairy Story with an intended political purpose; many aspects of Orwell's life
experiences are found throughout the novel. Orwell was born on June 25, 1903 in India and eventually moved to England with his parents where he
remained for the majority of his...show more content...
Orwell states that he was inspired to write Animal Farm after he witnessed a boy whipping a carthorse–this situation reminded him of the working class
and the wealthy. Orwell explains that if the horse only knew its true power the young boy would have no control over its decisions. This would
also be true in the relationship found between the wealthy and working classes. To translate his epiphany into text, Orwell used his background in
Soviet politics and farming to write his novel Animal Farm ("George Orwell" 6). After the novel was finished, Orwell could not find a publisher
for almost an entire year. The reason for this was because the British government advised publishers to stay away from Orwell's piece in fear that
the Soviet Allies would be offended. Despite the warnings, Orwell's novel was published in 1945 and introduced a political satire that pushed
Westerners to question the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin as a whole ("George Orwell" 7). Animal Farm begins with Old Major telling his fellow
animals about his dream in which he envisions a farm with no humans. The speech instills a drive within the animal community to rise and overthrow
Mr. Jones, the farm owner. After the farmer is successfully removed and Old Major dies, the animals find themselves in a leaderless state. Three pigs,
Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer, take it upon

Allegory In Animal Farm
Animal Farm is an allegory for the Russian revolution, and the rise of communism in Soviet Russia. The main characters are also all allegories.
Snowball can be seen as the figure Leon Trotsky, and Napoleon as Stalin.On the Farm the animals hold a meeting one night led by Major who tells
them of a dream, being free on the farm. Eventually Major dies, yet because of the speech the animals begin to dream of a better life. One in
particular Snowball takes on a leadership role. It starts by being asked about what would happen to the farm. One instance in particular Mollie one
of the horses asks if she will have sugar and ribbons in her hair afterwards in which he replies, " "those ribbons that you are so devoted to are the
badge of slavery. Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than ribbons?". This speaks to Snowballs view on life on the farm. This can
also be portrayed as how Trotsky had a more open, forward frame of mind during the start of the Russian Revolution. The Animals eventually stage
an uprising on a night that Mr. Jones and the other farmers get drunk. They take over the farm and chase the others out of town. After this they hold a
huge bonfire and burn ribbons and other equipment and set into place a set of commandments. Some are all animals are created equal, No animal
shall harm another animal, no animal should drink alcohol, and one of the mottos was "two legs good, four legs bad.". The start of Napoleon's

Animal Farm Rhetorical Analysis
George Orwell's "Animal Farm" is an allegory because it uses fictional characters and events to represent real individuals, groups, and events. Orwell
uses rhetorical devices such as analogy and Aristotle's three persuasive audience appeals to draw attention to the absurdity of aspects of the Russian
Revolution when isolated and simplified. Allegories are more effective than other methods of retelling an event because they allow the reader to view
events in different setting than they actually occurred. Therefore readers can better analyze events without their judgement being shrouded by real–life
persuasive techniques. Orwell's use of allegory was effective because his intentions were clear and the parallels he drew were accurate.
"Animal Farm" is an allegory to the Russian Revolution in 1917. The animals' uprising is a representation of the Russian Revolution itself. Animalism
is the concept in the novel that all animals are equal and independent from humans. They are governed by the Seven Commandments, essentially a
series of rules that indicated that all animals are equal, free, and should not do bad things to one another or behave like humans. The Seven
Commandments are representative of the new rules put in place for the new system of government in Russia – communism. The windmill in the novel
is representative of Stalin's five year plan. They were both plans to better the lives of the people – the windmill to create less work for the animals and
the five year plan to create more jobs for Russians. Both had extreme expectations placed upon them from the beginning, specifically the timeframe.
Despite the large amount of work and materials that were required, Snowball insisted that the windmill, "could all be done in a year."
Many characters in "Animal Farm" represent either individuals or groups of people that really existed during the Russian Revolution. The first
character introduced in the novel is the farmer Mr. Jones. He is representative of Czar Nicholas II, the leader of Russia before the revolution. He was,
like Mr. Jones, not a cruel ruler but rather irresponsible. Snowball and Napoleon are representations of, respectively,Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin.

Allegory In Animal Farm, By George Orwell
On the surface, George Orwell's novel Animal Farm is about a group of neglected farm animals who overthrow their owner and take control of their
farm. However, under the surface this novel is an allegory detailing the events of the Russian Revolution Orwell wrote Animal Farm in response to a
feeling of injustice and awareness of corruption in events. The author's use of anthropomorphism and common diction lead us to believe he intended the
novel to be read by the "everyday man" or lay person. This novel is written as a warning to readers with its central theme that power corrupts and
absolute power corrupts absolutely. The author uses a detached third person narrative of view to describe the events as they unfold in the story. While
Orwell uses many stylistic devices in Animal Farm, the two that impact the reader the most while developing the message are symbolism and irony.
Ultimately, Orwell effectively fuses his "political" and "artistic" purpose into a single, powerful work of art in his short novel Animal Farm.
George Orwell's essay "Why I Write" is about how he came to be the writer and how his style was generated. In the text he states, "I wanted to write
enormous naturalistic novels with unhappy endings, full of detailed descriptions and arresting similes, and also full of purple passages in which
words were used partly for the sake of their own sound." Orwell wrote this essay in order to explain how his past work and experiences influenced
later work. The authors

Allegory In Animal Farm And The Real World
While studying the evolution of man, and the development of a wide range of behaviours within the human species, natural selection favours cultures
that pursue aggressive tendencies over peaceful ideals. In Animal Farm, author George Orwell portrays an allegory of the Soviet Union under Joseph
Stalin and his attempts to remodel a society based on his needs. The well–intentioned attempt by Old Major to establish a utopia is thwarted by the
pigs and in their blind ambition. The pigs, led by Napoleon, institute a vocabulary aided by collective and individual action to control the other
animals in the pursuit for power . Within Animal Farm and the real world, a utopian society is not possible. A place where everyone is equal cannot
be achieved due to the range in intellect between members of...show more content...
The animals that are better adapted to their environment in Animal Farm have a higher chance of thriving. By changing the seventh commandment to
"all animals are equal but some are more equal than others." (101), it demonstrates how an individual with a certain value can be more equal then
someone else. An animal with a specific skill set, such as intelligence, can out–compete another animal that has strength. The pigs use fear and
aggression as a way to maintain ultimate power over the animals. Under Napoleon's command the "fierce, growling dogs [roam] everywhere." On
frequent occasions, the working class animals have " to watch [their] comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes." (58) By spreading
fear while being aggressive towards the farm animals, the pigs ensure every animal's full cooperation. This enables the pigs to avoid conflict by
keeping the animals in check. With the smell of death in the air, the uninformed animals are always kept in the dark and are constantly being cheated

An allegory is similar to symbolism but that instead of one thing standing for another meaning, the whole story stands for a greater meaning.
"Animal Farm" is a great example of an allegory because every aspect of the story symbolizes something in real life and George Orwell was trying to
point out something that was happening everyday. In the time "Animal Farm" was released, Russia had a lot of things going on. The people were
overthrowing the traditional czarist country and leading a communist revolution, whether they knew it or not. Mr. Jones represents the czar in power
before they were overthrown by a new power, the pigs. The animals represent the people, or the working class.

Allegory In Animal Farm
The book Animal Farm by George Orwell, is an allegory for the Russian Revolution. One allegory can be seen through Czar Nicholas II, who
represents Mr.Jones. In Animal Farm the animals defeat and overthrow Mr.Jones, a bad farmer who mistreats his animals. The animals try to
recover from the horrible reign of Mr.Jones, and the story is about how they live after overthrowing the farmer. Czar Nicholas II and Mr.Jones
both struggled with their subjects and eventually were not fit to be a leader anymore so lost the right.In Animal Farm Mr.Jones was an
irresponsible and drunk farmer. He did not care about the animals, he only cared about their products and what they could do to benefit him. He
would get drunk on Friday, and not come back until Sunday, leaving his animals not milked or cared for, starving, and alone. Czar Nicholas'
country wasn't doing very well and all the while Nicholas was "enjoy[ing] himself at the Stavka" (Selcer 5). Nicholas was not in the city trying to
make things right, he was in the general headquarters doing busy work. Nicholas lived in a huge palace while the rest of his citizens lived in tiny
houses. This resembles Mr.Jones because Mr. Jones ate a lot of food and drank while his animals were starving and working themselves to the bone.
Both leaders failed their citizens, and this failure eventually led to an uprising. Besides both being bad leaders, they both were overthrown from their
position. The starvation was "more than the hungry

Animal Farm Allegory Essay
A. An allegory is a story, poem and picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning. The allegory about the Animal Farm is that the animals
overthrown the master which is hiding the fact that the soviet leaders overthrew the German government.. The reason being is that when he uses the
animals he shows to the Communist leaders. For example, in the text it states"They overthrow Mr. Jones, their master, and take over the management
of the farm. Rather than living under the heel of their human master, the animals of Manor Farm decide that they will take control of the products of
their labor, working for the good of the farm and other animals, rather than for the good of humans". This is important because it shows how the author

Animal Farm is an example of a political allegory because it uses fictional characters and elements, like animals, to explain historical occurrences
during Soviet Russia. In animal farm there are many literary elements that help the reader identify how each character may be metaphoric of an actual
character in the history of Soviet Russia. Animal–ism is symbolic of communism during Soviet Russia, while the Manor Farm represents Russia,
Napoleon is characterizing Stalin. The dogs that Napoleon raises represent the secret police that took part during the 1930 purges in Russia. On page

Squealer's use of rhetoric in chapter 9 is a good example of how he used his words and knowledge to manipulate the others away from the truth
which they had seen. "He had, he said, been with boxer during his last hours." he said to the others of animal farm. Squealer quoted Boxer in is last
hours saying, " 'Forward, comrades!' he whispered. 'Forward in the name of the rebellion. Long live Animal Farm! Long live Comrade Napoleon!
Napoleon is always right.' Those were his very last words, comrades." This shows how Squealer used his knowledge to manipulate what the animals
had seen and change their perceptions in favor of Napoleon. This is a prime example of rhetoric.
Old Major was a rhetorical component from the beginning of the book. His speech on the tyranny of humanity incited the beginning of the animal's
rebellion on the Manor Farm, soon to be Animal Farm. "Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does
not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals," said Old Major before his
passing hour. This is used as a form of rhetoric and sparks the flame to make their future their own and to remove the tyrannical human

Animal Allegory In George Orwell's Animal Farm
George Orwell wrote Animal Farm during the second world war and modeled many of his characters after Russian leaders. It was a very famous
novel, as a stinging critique of the history and rhetoric of the Russian Revolution. Retelling the story of the development of Soviet communism in
the form of an animal fable allegorizes the rise of power of the dictator Joseph Stalin. Orwell writes this novel so that animals appear to have the
same average intelligence as humans, power and control of the farm shifts from Mr. Jones to Snowball and from Snowball to Napoleon. All of them,
regardless of their leadership ability, were corrupted by power in some ways as compared to the Russian leaders of the time. In Animal Farm Orwell
uses satire through the animal allegory, and irony, commenting on the the Russian Revolution, to show a connection between the individuals of a
society and a totalitarian government and to create a cautionary tale that warns the readers about abuse of power. Orwell uses irony as one of his
methods to direct his satiric attack on the totalitarian regime and warn readers about the abuse of power under a government like such. Before Old
Major dies he warns the animals about mankind, "Man serves the interests of no creature except himself.... All men are enemies....And remember also
that in fighting against Man, we must not come to resemble him.... Do not adopt his vices.... And, above all, no animal must ever tyrannize over his
own kind .... All animals are equal" (Orwell

Introduction
An allegory is a narrative story with duel level of understanding. We got the word 'allegory ' from the Latin word 'allegoria '. First, there is the plot of
the story. Then there is a representation which inscribes an indication of the surface presentation. Theallegory symbolically can be means as historical
or philosophical, poletical or religious. Allegories are like massive metaphors, but they usually come in narrative form, i.e they are told through stories.
In an allegory authors generally use their characters, settings and plot to entertain, while simultaneously delivering a moral, lesson or even a
commentary on big concepts like religion, institutions and the government. For example a story about aliens who find themselves isolated and alone in
a strange new world can be an allegory for what immigrants experience in a new countries.
There is one way to think about allegories i.e. as extended metaphors, or comparisons, between two things, usually regarded as unalike. Since they are
intended to make big concepts much more accessible, allegories are not always obvious.
There are different types of allegory such as:–

Examples Of Allegory In Animal Farm
The symbolic allegory Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, is based around the Russian Revolution and everyone's hunger for power. In
Animal Farm, the animals rebel against Mr. Jones and demand freedom from the hard, stressing life on the Manor Farm. One of the main
antagonists, Napoleon is cruel, unfair, and corrupt. The farm would have operated perfectly if Napoleon was not the leader. First of all, Napoleon is
particularly cruel towards his "comrades." For example, "Immediately the dogs bounded forward, seized four of the pigs by the ear and dragged then,
squealing with pain and terror, to Napoleon's feet... Napoleon appeared to change countenance and sharply ordered Boxer to let the dogs go,.." (26). In
other words, Napoleon commands...show more content...
For instance, "It is YOUR sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples" (12). This persuades that the animals are being supportive to the pigs by
providing them the milk and apples when really the pigs are being hogs, just like Mr. Jones. To emphasize, the animals won't have access to all the
apples and milk and won't be as well as the pigs. In conclusion, Napoleon and the pigs are being unfair towards the other animals, as they aren't taking
care of the other animals like they do with themselves. Lastly, he slowly becomes corrupt. "It did not seem strange when Napoleon was seen strolling
in the farmhouse garden with a pipe in his mouth–... Napoleon himself appearing in a black coat, ratcatcher breeches, and leather leggings..." (42). Tis
shows that Napoleon has completely transformed into Mr. Jones, showing that he operates the farm and that is the superintendent. In addition, animals
weren't permitted to perform human activities. To conclude, Napoleon had broken all the Seven Commandments and becomes corrupt. In the end,
Napoleon had maneuvered the farm into going back to its original pace, when Mr. Jones operated the farm with his demeanor.If Snowball had ran the
farm, many conflicts that the farm had with Napoleon would be solved easily. Peace and equality cannot be reached, as there is always individuals

Animal Farm: An Allegory of Russian History Essay
Animal Farm is an allegory of the period in Russian history between 1917 and 1944. It is a satirical story written in the form of an animal fable. In
writing Animal Farm as a fable, George Orwell is able to present his subject in simple symbolic terms by treating the development of communism as a
story that is taking place on a single farm with talking animals. The characters of Animal Farm represent figures in Russian history during the Russian
Revolution. Places, objects, and events of the Russian Revolution are also symbolized in Animal Farm.
One of the main characters of Animal Farm is an allegorical parallel of Joseph Stalin. Napoleon is the pig that emerges as the leader of Animal Farm
after the Rebellion. He represents...show more content...
This phenomenon is not unique to Russia or Animal Farm: it happens throughout the world. Governments have done similar things to improve their
standing by blaming an invisible enemy. The purges and show trials with which Stalin eliminated his enemies and cemented his power mirrors the false
confessions and executions of animals that Napoleon distrusts after the windmill collapse. Stalin's tyrannical rule and abandonment of the founding
principles of the Russian Revolution are represented by Napoleon's turn to violent government and the adoption of human traits and behaviours.
Animal Farm symbolizes Russia and the Soviet Union under communist party rule. But more generally, Animal Farm stands for any human society, be
it capitalist, socialist, fascist, or communist. It possesses the internal structure of a nation, with a government (the pigs), a police force or army (the
dogs), and a working class (other animals). Its location amidst a number of hostile neighbouring farms supports its symbolism as Russia. The
Farmhouse in the story is a symbol of the Kremlin. The Kremlin is home of the Tsar (Mr. Jones). After the revolution, there were some that wanted to
destroy the farmhouse, but it was decided to preserve it as a museum. The Kremlin was saved in a similar manner. Eventually Napoleon (Stalin)
decided to take up residence there. Orwell uses the farmhouse to show the difference in authority

Is Animal Farm An Allegory

  • 1. Is Animal Farm An Allegory Zan Reynolds Rogers Economics 3/2/18 Animal Farm an Allegory for the Russian Revolution Russian history is full of many wars and conflicts throughout its existence; however, one of the most controversial conflicts in modern history is the Russian Revolution. Russia was under imperial rule and led by Czar Nicholas II. He was often referred to as a dictator, and after years of oppression, the people of Russia began to rebel. During this time, the Russian government was exposed and weak, thus resulting in the severely neglected Bolsheviks seizing power. Soon after the Russian Revolution concluded, the communist party established the Soviet Union. Similarly, in George Orwell's Animal Farm, animals on Manor Farm were neglected and overworked by...show more content... The most notable similarity between the Russian Revolution and Animal Farm is the form of government established after the revolution by those who are oppressed. After the Russian Revolution occurs a communist government is established. Communism focus on the principles of everyone equally sharing in the wealth created by labor, and that all people are equal. Animalism has almost identical principles in which each animal shares the crops, food, etc. created by labor, as well as all animals are to be treated equally. Secondly, both communism and animalism are extremely susceptible to corruption. For example, in the system of communism there is a single leader, or small group, over the state, which controls all government affairs as well as the economy. With a single person in control of the economy and government corruption occurs due to the fact that there is no accountability for their actions. In Animal Farm, a similar result of corruption was procured under the system of animalism. The pigs became the leaders of the animals, due to their intelligence, and began to take advantage of other animals to benefit themselves. The pigs had no accountability to follow the principles of animalism because the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Writing Assessment: Animal Farm Unit 2 Writing Assessment: Animal Farm Totalitarian Allegory Essay Communism is one of the worst forms of totalitarianism, which is a form of government which tries, or does control every aspect of life. Communism is one of the worst due to many believing it will "free you from oppression". This book, though it was written in 1954, is still relevant today. Communism may not be as common, or heard of as much today. It is still a threat, you see the things in the book still happen in China, North Korea, Cuba, and more. The plot also could reference other totalitarian revolutions, such as the Korean war, (the creation of North Korea). As well as the Cuban revolution in 1959, when Fidel Castro rose to power. The animals are the people, and the pigs are the government. The plot is...show more content... They are allegories to people of the Soviet Union though. Such as Napoleon is Joseph Stalin. Napoleon is Stalin in this book, but he could also be Fidel Castro, Kim Jong Un, and other totalitarian leaders. George Orwell intended this to be Soviet Union specific, but it is flexible to today's totalitarian governments around the world. "Napoleon is always right". (Page 27: paragraph 1, Animal Farm). Snowball, who was expelled from the farm, and falsely labelled a traitor by Napoleon, closely is supposed to be Trotsky. One of the main creators of the Soviet Union, who after Lenin died was labelled as a traitor and was deported to Mexico by Stalin. Lastly, there was Old Major. It could be argued that he was Lenin, but he did not live to see the revolution like Lenin did. He also created the concept of Animalism, which is an allegory to Communism, which are both totalitarianism. Which means, Old Major would be Karl Marx. Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848 with Frederick Engels. He was one of the creators of Communism, as Old Major created Animalism. "THREE nights later, Old Major died peacefully in his sleep". (Page 7: paragraph 1, Animal Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. The Allegory In Animal Farm, By George Orwell ''All animals are equal but, some animals are more equal than others". Animal Farm by George Orwell, published by the Penguin Group in 2008 and sold more than 20 million copies worldwide (Middendorp), captivated many individuals to realize the harsh truth about privilege. George Orwell wrote the book during the war as a cautionary fable in order to expose the seriousness of the dangers posed by Stalinism and totalitarian government (Asnes). The allegory takes place in Manor Farm that is owned by a drunken farmer that doesn't care about his animals. It is true that Animal Farm is a book about animals conquering a farm, however, in reality, there are many hidden truths about the Russian Revolution that Orwell tried to include. Mr. Jones, The owner of Manor Farm is careless towards his...show more content... Rather, he is a quiet observer (Asnes). The story revolves around animals that are trying to seize a farm for their rights, however, the story has a much deeper meaning to It. Orwell took part of the Spanish civil war and witnessed the Russian revolution. In the allegory, Orwell cleverly symbolized each animal and events to the occurrences of the revolution for example Mr. Jones, the owner of the farm represents the last emperor of Russia, Nicholas Alexandrovich Romanov. Snowball represents Leo Trotsky that eventually gets expelled from the Politburo. Napoleon is Joseph Stalin, the second leader of the Soviet Union (wisecrack). Orwell thought of everything thoroughly including the names of the animals. I think the arrogant pig was specifically named Napoleon because in the French revolution an emperor called Napoleon Bonaparte was an outstanding leader but arrogance caught up to him. Orwell used animals instead of humans because he wanted to weave in Animals as characters because Animals can't interact as humans. Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Animal Farm Essay George Orwell includes a strong message in his novel Animal Farm that is easily recognizable. Orwell's Animal Farm focuses on two primary problems that were not only prominent in his WWII society, but also posed as reoccurring issues in all societies past and present. Orwell's novel delivers a strong political message about class structure and oppression from the patriarchal society through an allegory of a farm that closely resembles the Soviet Union. George Orwell wrote Animal Farm: A Fairy Story with an intended political purpose; many aspects of Orwell's life experiences are found throughout the novel. Orwell was born on June 25, 1903 in India and eventually moved to England with his parents where he remained for the majority of his...show more content... Orwell states that he was inspired to write Animal Farm after he witnessed a boy whipping a carthorse–this situation reminded him of the working class and the wealthy. Orwell explains that if the horse only knew its true power the young boy would have no control over its decisions. This would also be true in the relationship found between the wealthy and working classes. To translate his epiphany into text, Orwell used his background in Soviet politics and farming to write his novel Animal Farm ("George Orwell" 6). After the novel was finished, Orwell could not find a publisher for almost an entire year. The reason for this was because the British government advised publishers to stay away from Orwell's piece in fear that the Soviet Allies would be offended. Despite the warnings, Orwell's novel was published in 1945 and introduced a political satire that pushed Westerners to question the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin as a whole ("George Orwell" 7). Animal Farm begins with Old Major telling his fellow animals about his dream in which he envisions a farm with no humans. The speech instills a drive within the animal community to rise and overthrow Mr. Jones, the farm owner. After the farmer is successfully removed and Old Major dies, the animals find themselves in a leaderless state.

  • 5. Examples Of Animal Farm Allegory George Orwells famous novel Animal Farm is an example of an allegory. In an allegory, characters and events act as symbols of other things. In the book, the horses, sheep, pigs, cows, and other animals of Manor Farm rebels against their drunken owner. mr. Jones. With the pigs taking the lead, the animals drive all humans away from the farm, they take control of it themselves. They intend to turn the farm into a sort of paradise, where all the animals will work hard and live together in piece and equality. But soon the pigs begin to taking advantage of the situation. They work less than the other animals and changed the societys rules for they're benefit. By the time the book ends the pigs are almost identical to human beings.

  • 6. Allegory In Animal Farm Animal Farm is an allegory for the Russian revolution, and the rise of communism in Soviet Russia. The main characters are also all allegories. Snowball can be seen as the figure Leon Trotsky, and Napoleon as Stalin.On the Farm the animals hold a meeting one night led by Major who tells them of a dream, being free on the farm. Eventually Major dies, yet because of the speech the animals begin to dream of a better life. One in particular Snowball takes on a leadership role. It starts by being asked about what would happen to the farm. One instance in particular Mollie one of the horses asks if she will have sugar and ribbons in her hair afterwards in which he replies, " "those ribbons that you are so devoted to are the badge of slavery. Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than ribbons?". This speaks to Snowballs view on life on the farm. This can also be portrayed as how Trotsky had a more open, forward frame of mind during the start of the Russian Revolution. The Animals eventually stage an uprising on a night that Mr. Jones and the other farmers get drunk. They take over the farm and chase the others out of town. After this they hold a huge bonfire and burn ribbons and other equipment and set into place a set of commandments. Some are all animals are created equal, No animal shall harm another animal, no animal should drink alcohol, and one of the mottos was "two legs good, four legs bad.". The start of Napoleon's mischief is soon after when the milk on the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Animal Farm Rhetorical Analysis George Orwell's "Animal Farm" is an allegory because it uses fictional characters and events to represent real individuals, groups, and events. Orwell uses rhetorical devices such as analogy and Aristotle's three persuasive audience appeals to draw attention to the absurdity of aspects of the Russian Revolution when isolated and simplified. Allegories are more effective than other methods of retelling an event because they allow the reader to view events in different setting than they actually occurred. Therefore readers can better analyze events without their judgement being shrouded by real–life persuasive techniques. Orwell's use of allegory was effective because his intentions were clear and the parallels he drew were accurate. "Animal Farm" is an allegory to the Russian Revolution in 1917. The animals' uprising is a representation of the Russian Revolution itself. Animalism is the concept in the novel that all animals are equal and independent from humans. They are governed by the Seven Commandments, essentially a series of rules that indicated that all animals are equal, free, and should not do bad things to one another or behave like humans. The Seven Commandments are representative of the new rules put in place for the new system of government in Russia – communism. The windmill in the novel is representative of Stalin's five year plan. They were both plans to better the lives of the people – the windmill to create less work for the animals and the five year plan to create more jobs for Russians. Both had extreme expectations placed upon them from the beginning, specifically the timeframe. Despite the large amount of work and materials that were required, Snowball insisted that the windmill, "could all be done in a year." Many characters in "Animal Farm" represent either individuals or groups of people that really existed during the Russian Revolution. The first character introduced in the novel is the farmer Mr. Jones. He is representative of Czar Nicholas II, the leader of Russia before the revolution. He was, like Mr. Jones, not a cruel ruler but rather irresponsible. Snowball and Napoleon are representations of, respectively,Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. Like the pigs, these two men Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Allegory In Animal Farm, By George Orwell On the surface, George Orwell's novel Animal Farm is about a group of neglected farm animals who overthrow their owner and take control of their farm. However, under the surface this novel is an allegory detailing the events of the Russian Revolution Orwell wrote Animal Farm in response to a feeling of injustice and awareness of corruption in events. The author's use of anthropomorphism and common diction lead us to believe he intended the novel to be read by the "everyday man" or lay person. This novel is written as a warning to readers with its central theme that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The author uses a detached third person narrative of view to describe the events as they unfold in the story. While Orwell uses many stylistic devices in Animal Farm, the two that impact the reader the most while developing the message are symbolism and irony. Ultimately, Orwell effectively fuses his "political" and "artistic" purpose into a single, powerful work of art in his short novel Animal Farm. George Orwell's essay "Why I Write" is about how he came to be the writer and how his style was generated. In the text he states, "I wanted to write enormous naturalistic novels with unhappy endings, full of detailed descriptions and arresting similes, and also full of purple passages in which words were used partly for the sake of their own sound." Orwell wrote this essay in order to explain how his past work and experiences influenced later work. The authors Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Allegory In Animal Farm And The Real World While studying the evolution of man, and the development of a wide range of behaviours within the human species, natural selection favours cultures that pursue aggressive tendencies over peaceful ideals. In Animal Farm, author George Orwell portrays an allegory of the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin and his attempts to remodel a society based on his needs. The well–intentioned attempt by Old Major to establish a utopia is thwarted by the pigs and in their blind ambition. The pigs, led by Napoleon, institute a vocabulary aided by collective and individual action to control the other animals in the pursuit for power . Within Animal Farm and the real world, a utopian society is not possible. A place where everyone is equal cannot be achieved due to the range in intellect between members of...show more content... The animals that are better adapted to their environment in Animal Farm have a higher chance of thriving. By changing the seventh commandment to "all animals are equal but some are more equal than others." (101), it demonstrates how an individual with a certain value can be more equal then someone else. An animal with a specific skill set, such as intelligence, can out–compete another animal that has strength. The pigs use fear and aggression as a way to maintain ultimate power over the animals. Under Napoleon's command the "fierce, growling dogs [roam] everywhere." On frequent occasions, the working class animals have " to watch [their] comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes." (58) By spreading fear while being aggressive towards the farm animals, the pigs ensure every animal's full cooperation. This enables the pigs to avoid conflict by keeping the animals in check. With the smell of death in the air, the uninformed animals are always kept in the dark and are constantly being cheated of better lives by the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. An allegory is similar to symbolism but that instead of one thing standing for another meaning, the whole story stands for a greater meaning. "Animal Farm" is a great example of an allegory because every aspect of the story symbolizes something in real life and George Orwell was trying to point out something that was happening everyday. In the time "Animal Farm" was released, Russia had a lot of things going on. The people were overthrowing the traditional czarist country and leading a communist revolution, whether they knew it or not. Mr. Jones represents the czar in power before they were overthrown by a new power, the pigs. The animals represent the people, or the working class.

  • 11. Animal Farm Allegory I came up with my allegory when I was taking my Biology test. We had been talking notes the entire class period and it was extremely boring. I was thinking about how much I dislike being in school and then I thought "What if the students all decided to go on strike?". "Surely the teachers couldn't handle hundreds of students refusing to cooperate." This gave me an idea. I decided to use this subject for my Animal Farm project. It incorporates important aspects of Animal Farm. One idea from Animal Farm represented in my comic strip is the rebellion. The animals overthrew their captors at the beginning of the book, similar to how the students overthrew their teachers. Also just as Old Major sparked the idea of a rebellion, Shannon sparked Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 12. Allegory In Animal Farm The book Animal Farm by George Orwell, is an allegory for the Russian Revolution. One allegory can be seen through Czar Nicholas II, who represents Mr.Jones. In Animal Farm the animals defeat and overthrow Mr.Jones, a bad farmer who mistreats his animals. The animals try to recover from the horrible reign of Mr.Jones, and the story is about how they live after overthrowing the farmer. Czar Nicholas II and Mr.Jones both struggled with their subjects and eventually were not fit to be a leader anymore so lost the right.In Animal Farm Mr.Jones was an irresponsible and drunk farmer. He did not care about the animals, he only cared about their products and what they could do to benefit him. He would get drunk on Friday, and not come back until Sunday, leaving his animals not milked or cared for, starving, and alone. Czar Nicholas' country wasn't doing very well and all the while Nicholas was "enjoy[ing] himself at the Stavka" (Selcer 5). Nicholas was not in the city trying to make things right, he was in the general headquarters doing busy work. Nicholas lived in a huge palace while the rest of his citizens lived in tiny houses. This resembles Mr.Jones because Mr. Jones ate a lot of food and drank while his animals were starving and working themselves to the bone. Both leaders failed their citizens, and this failure eventually led to an uprising. Besides both being bad leaders, they both were overthrown from their position. The starvation was "more than the hungry Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Squealer's use of rhetoric in chapter 9 is a good example of how he used his words and knowledge to manipulate the others away from the truth which they had seen. "He had, he said, been with boxer during his last hours." he said to the others of animal farm. Squealer quoted Boxer in is last hours saying, " 'Forward, comrades!' he whispered. 'Forward in the name of the rebellion. Long live Animal Farm! Long live Comrade Napoleon! Napoleon is always right.' Those were his very last words, comrades." This shows how Squealer used his knowledge to manipulate what the animals had seen and change their perceptions in favor of Napoleon. This is a prime example of rhetoric. Old Major was a rhetorical component from the beginning of the book. His speech on the tyranny of humanity incited the beginning of the animal's rebellion on the Manor Farm, soon to be Animal Farm. "Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals," said Old Major before his passing hour.

  • 15. Animal Allegory In George Orwell's Animal Farm George Orwell wrote Animal Farm during the second world war and modeled many of his characters after Russian leaders. It was a very famous novel, as a stinging critique of the history and rhetoric of the Russian Revolution. Retelling the story of the development of Soviet communism in the form of an animal fable allegorizes the rise of power of the dictator Joseph Stalin. Orwell writes this novel so that animals appear to have the same average intelligence as humans, power and control of the farm shifts from Mr. Jones to Snowball and from Snowball to Napoleon. All of them, regardless of their leadership ability, were corrupted by power in some ways as compared to the Russian leaders of the time. In Animal Farm Orwell uses satire through the animal allegory, and irony, commenting on the the Russian Revolution, to show a connection between the individuals of a society and a totalitarian government and to create a cautionary tale that warns the readers about abuse of power. Orwell uses irony as one of his methods to direct his satiric attack on the totalitarian regime and warn readers about the abuse of power under a government like such. Before Old Major dies he warns the animals about mankind, "Man serves the interests of no creature except himself.... All men are enemies....And remember also that in fighting against Man, we must not come to resemble him.... Do not adopt his vices.... And, above all, no animal must ever tyrannize over his own kind .... All animals are equal" (Orwell Get more content on HelpWriting.net

In Animal Farm, the animals rebel against Mr. Jones and demand freedom from the hard, stressing life on the Manor Farm. One of the main antagonists, Napoleon is cruel, unfair, and corrupt. The farm would have operated perfectly if Napoleon was not the leader. First of all, Napoleon is particularly cruel towards his "comrades." For example, "Immediately the dogs bounded forward, seized four of the pigs by the ear and dragged then, squealing with pain and terror, to Napoleon's feet... Napoleon appeared to change countenance and sharply ordered Boxer to let the dogs go,.." (26). In other words, Napoleon commands...show more content... For instance, "It is YOUR sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples" (12). This persuades that the animals are being supportive to the pigs by providing them the milk and apples when really the pigs are being hogs, just like Mr. Jones. To emphasize, the animals won't have access to all the apples and milk and won't be as well as the pigs. In conclusion, Napoleon and the pigs are being unfair towards the other animals, as they aren't taking care of the other animals like they do with themselves. Lastly, he slowly becomes corrupt. "It did not seem strange when Napoleon was seen strolling in the farmhouse garden with a pipe in his mouth–... Napoleon himself appearing in a black coat, ratcatcher breeches, and leather leggings..." (42). Tis shows that Napoleon has completely transformed into Mr. Jones, showing that he operates the farm and that is the superintendent. In addition, animals weren't permitted to perform human activities. To conclude, Napoleon had broken all the Seven Commandments and becomes corrupt. In the end, Napoleon had maneuvered the farm into going back to its original pace, when Mr. Jones operated the farm with his demeanor.If Snowball had ran the farm, many conflicts that the farm had with Napoleon would be solved easily.

Governments have done similar things to improve their standing by blaming an invisible enemy. The purges and show trials with which Stalin eliminated his enemies and cemented his power mirrors the false confessions and executions of animals that Napoleon distrusts after the windmill collapse. Stalin's tyrannical rule and abandonment of the founding principles of the Russian Revolution are represented by Napoleon's turn to violent government and the adoption of human traits and behaviours. Animal Farm symbolizes Russia and the Soviet Union under communist party rule. But more generally, Animal Farm stands for any human society, be it capitalist, socialist, fascist, or communist. It possesses the internal structure of a nation, with a government (the pigs), a police force or army (the dogs), and a working class (other animals). Its location amidst a number of hostile neighbouring farms supports its symbolism as Russia. The Farmhouse in the story is a symbol of the Kremlin. The Kremlin is home of the Tsar (Mr. Jones). After the revolution, there were some that wanted to destroy the farmhouse, but it was decided to preserve it as a museum. The Kremlin was saved in a similar manner. Eventually Napoleon (Stalin) decided to take up residence there. Orwell uses the farmhouse to show the difference in authority Get more content on HelpWriting.net
