Animal Farm Essay

The Truth Is Revealed
Animal Farm is an allegorical novel, illustrating the real life of people, the most feared
and authoritarian political regime. The story based on the problem from the Russian revolution
m
and the Commit State during the Second World War. George Orwell - the author was trying to
er as
co
convey the messenger “absolute power corrupts absolutely”. There are suggestions that George
eH w
Orwell used the images of animals to show his predictions about a Socialist state. What the novel
o.
rs e
ou urc
describes corruption, exploitation and deception can happen anywhere in every country, in every
stage of history. Animalism, a brutal dictatorial empire was built by the eloquence of poor
o
intellectual animals and enforced by the greed of revolution. Through Orwell’s writing, the
aC s
vi y re
characters in the story reflect the personalities of Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky, the cruelty and
corruption of Joseph Stalin will be exposed. “Power to the animal” is their slogan.
ed d
ar stu
In the Orwell’s story and also in real life, any animal or people that have the power can
be a leader to gain autonomy especially Napoleon and Snowball, the two smartest and brightest
is
pigs to succeed and keep going dynamic, motivate other animals to fight the revolution.
Th
Napoleon and Snowball appoint themselves become the instructors because they were the
sh
smartest and most knowledgeable. They drink milk, eat apples and use Mr. Jones’s house
according to the point the mink had disappeared, the apples were to be collected and brought to
the harness- room for the use of the pigs “You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this
2
Phung
in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike
them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples
(this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-
being of a pig. We pigs are brain workers. The whole management and organization of this farm
depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for YOUR sake that we
drink that milk and eat those apples. Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our
duty? Jones would come back! Yes, Jones would come back! Surely, comrades," cried Squealer
almost pleadingly, skipping from side to side and whisking his tail, "surely there is no one among
m
er as
you who wants to see Jones come back?” He used all the animals’ fear when there was a risk that
co
eH w
Mr. Jones and his friend might still be waiting for the opportunity to come back. All animals did
o.
not want this happen, hastily agreed with the way that the pigs did. Napoleon became the only
rs e
ou urc
leader after he discharged Snowball by nine dogs were always escorting around him and always
trying to bite anyone who near their master – Napoleon. Napoleon thought that Snowball’s plan
o
aC s
was just a dreamy, disproving his decision. He released nine fierce dogs like wolves chasing him.
vi y re
Eliminating Snowball who is much knowledge and power, he ruled the dominance of animalism.
He forced everyone to follow his rule, creating labor in exchange for food. He had recently
ed d
ar stu
awarded himself “Animal Hero, First Class”, and “Animal Hero, Second Class” with nine huge
dogs frisking round him and uttering growls that sent shivers down all the animal’s spines, all the
is
animals did not dear to speak up. Napoleon’s corruption of executive authority is expressed
Th
through the words and actions; selfishness wants to take control of the revolution.
sh
In a communist society, the leader used language can abuse power. In Orwell’s Animal
Farm, the leader which are the pig used fluent language. Napoleon only taught other animals
how to pronoun the alphabet not long sentences. They created scare tactics, and create specific
3
Phung
laws, the seven commandments, thereby enabling them to control other animals. Squealer was a
talented liar; he manipulated the law and convinces other children to believe to untrue stories and
lies. He declared to all the other animals that no animals shall change the rules but he was the
first break the law of The Seven Commandments. Squealer edited the law secretly. The purpose
of this, he wanted to sleep comfortably in the bed of human which is Mr. Jones used every night.
Napoleon should not have been in Mr. Jones’s house, everything changed when the Squealer was
trying to explain to everyone that “No animal shall sleep in a bed WITH SHEETS”. The song
“Beast of England “has been rejected instead of a new song called “Comrade Napoleon” which
m
er as
give all credit to him even though he had nothing to do with anything. He considered himself a
co
eH w
dictator, worthy of receiving a medal. “"Comrades!" cried Squealer, making little nervous skips,
o.
"a most terrible thing has been discovered. Snowball has sold himself to Frederick of Pinch field
rs e
ou urc
Farm, who is even now plotting to attack us and take our farm away from us! Snowball is to act
as his guide when the attack begins. But there is worse than that. We had thought that Snowball's
o
aC s
rebellion was caused simply by his vanity and ambition. But we were wrong, comrades. Do you
vi y re
know what the real reason was? Snowball was in league with Jones from the very start! He was
Jones's secret agent all the time. It has all been proved by documents which he left behind him
ed d
ar stu
and which we have only just discovered. To my mind, this explains a great deal, comrades. Did
we not see for ourselves how he attempted--fortunately without success--to get us defeated and
is
destroyed at the Battle of the Cowshed?" he deceived all animals, everyone believed what he
Th
said, his words are lively. The purpose, the reason he blamed Snowball cause’ he wants to turn
vindictive hatred into strength and then he will abuse the power that to benefit himself. He
sh
wanted to dispel other animal’s ideas about the loyalty of loyalty to Animalism, he tells the
animals that all the information about Snowball’s criminal actions and his conspiracy with the
4
Phung
humans is written down in a secret document which is only the three pigs can read them but the
truth is only one, that he is still loyal to Animalism. The hatred and anger of these animals were
growing day by day; they felt a vindictive hatred for aggressors (Mr. Jones) and the traitors
(Snowball).
Beside that, in addition, Napoleon’s corruption and the perfect lies of Squealer, they also
exploited the labor of all animals. Napoleon abused the power of Boxer and other animals
because he knows Boxer is the person who always does whatever he says “Napoleon is always
right” but he was a twelve years old horse that also means he has to retire but he does not even
m
er as
give up, every day in the morning he asked The Hun for wake up him one hour earlier than other
co
eH w
animals to help them do the heavy work. Since the windmill was broken, their work seems to
o.
rs e
double, all animals have more work to do and winter is coming but the food is getting less. There
ou urc
were not enough food reserves for the winter. He always remembered the two slogans in his head
o
that “I will work harder” and “Napoleon is always right”. He fought hard as he could in the last
aC s
vi y re
two battles, but I could not get any valuable rewards even the medal such as “Animal Hero, First
Class”, and “Animal Hero, Second Class”. He was working hard until his eyes began to fade, his
ed d
toenail was aching. At the end of the story, Napoleon and Squealer would sell him to a butcher.
ar stu
This is very cruel for Boxer who always works hard; it is also the biggest regret for Clover and
Benjamin. Napoleon forced The Huns to devote four hundred eggs a week cause’ he signed a
is
Th
contract with Mr. Whymper in exchange for gain and meal to keep the farm going on summer.
These Huns made a determined effort to thwart Napoleon’s wishes take the eggs away now was
sh
murder. Nine Huns died in the meantime. The happened against but not directly by Napoleon’s
instruction. There is no word that can describe the exploitation of these animals.

All animal are equal. All the animals live under the leadership of intelligent and
extremely greedy of Napoleon and Squealer were accepting to be suffering and sacrifice.
Orwell’s work has cleverly caged the image of the animal to express the social in reality.
