3. Napoleons treatment toward Snowball:
• Snowballs conflict with Napoleon leads to the expulsion of snowball from the firm.
Napoleon started disliking Snowball because he was growing in power. . For example, he
was a war hero, and he proved to be a better speaker. Napoleon thought Snowball as an
obstacle to his absolute domination. For this reason Napoleon uses his dogs to banish
Snowball from the firm.
• Similarly Leon Trotsky opposed the Stalinist bureaucracy in the soviet union, and for this
reason he was expelled from the communist party by Joseph Stalin, and was exiled in
many places such as Turkey and Mexico.
4. Napoleon and Stalin's use of power:
• Napoleon had dogs who protected him and he also used the dogs to
kill and dominate other animals.
• Joseph Stalin had a force named NKVD which he used to dominate
and kill his opponents. He used a special unit of this force to
assassinate Leon Trotsky on August 20,1940.
5. Moreover, Napoleon's plan to build the windmill reflects
Stalin's Five Year Plan for revitalizing the nation's industry
and agriculture which was implemented between 1928 and
1932.
6. Napoleons relationship with Mr Frederick:
• In chapter 8 of the novella, Napoleon entered into an alliance with
Frederick in order to sell surplus timber that Pilkington also sought, but he
was enraged to learn Frederick paid him in counterfeit money. Shortly after
the swindling, Frederick and his men invade Animal Farm, killing many
animals and detonating the windmill. The brief alliance and subsequent
invasion may allude to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and the Operation
Barbarossa.
7. The Frederick –Napoleon short term alliance represents The
Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, also known as the Nazi–Soviet Pact.
In Which Hitler assured Stalin that Germany will not attack Russia
but in World war ii Hitler betrayed Stalin by attacking Russia and
killing many innocent civilians.
8. Napoleons Final Feast :
Napoleons Final feast
with Mr Pilkington in
chapter x stands for 1943
Tehran conference.
In this feast Napoleon
Betrayed the idea of
Animalism which is
‘Whatever goes up on two
legs is an enemy 'by
arranging the feast with
Mr Pilkington.
Similarly, Stalin betrayed
ideals of Communism By
compromising with
capitalist countries in
Tehran Conference.
9. Napoleons Card game with Mr Pilkington:
“There were shoutings, bangings on the table,
sharp suspicious glances, furious denials. The
source of the trouble appeared to be that Napoleon
and Mr. Pilkington had each played an ace of
spades simultaneously.” (Chapter 10)
The moment that ace of spades hits the table is the
allegorical beginning of the Cold War, a decade-
long mostly non-military conflict between the
U.S.S.R. and the U.S. that was so tense that kids in
both countries had nuclear bomb drills at school.
In 1941, the leaders of the Allied countries were
willing to compromise with Stalin. Maybe they
even believed Stalin wasn't so bad. But not Orwell.
Orwell could see the cards on the table.
