ANIMAL FARM

PRESENTS...
MR.JONES, SNOWBALL &
NAPOLEON
 THE MAIN QUOTE SAID BY
GEORGE ORWELL BEHIND
ANIMAL FARM’S THEME

“MAN SERVES THE INTEREST OF NO

CREATURE EXCEPT HIMSELF”
 THE GLIMPSE
MR.JONES, SNOWBALL AND NAPOLEON ARE
ALL CHARACTERS FROM THE VERY FAMOUS
BOOK; ANIMAL FARM BY GEORGE ORWELL
THIS BOOK IS SURROUNDED BY THE
REVOLUTION AND MAINLY ANIMAL
BRUTALITY.
MR.JONES- CZAR NICHOLAS II
FIRST IS MR. JONES, HE
WAS THE FARMER IN
CHARGE OF THE MANOR
FARM. TODAY WE’LL LEARN
THAT HE WAS SO MUCH
MORE THAN JUST A
“FARMER”.
MR. JONES WAS A CRUEL, INCOMPETENT AND DRUNK LEADER. HE NEVER
FED THE ANIMAL(HE FED THEM JUST NEARLY TO ESCAPE
STARVATION). IN THE ANIMALS' WORDS, MR.JONES DIDN’T DESERVE
THEM AS HE DID NOTHING; HE DIDN’T LAY EGGS, GIVE MILK OR EVEN
PLOUGH THE FARMS. HE CAN ACTUALLY BE COMPARED TO A REAL-LIFE
LEADER: CZAR NICHOLAS II. CZAR NICHOLAS II WAS A FORMER AND
LAST RUSSIAN EMPEROR. HE WAS CHARACTERIZED AS A SHY, WEAK,
AND VACILLATING(INDECISIVE) LEADER. ALTHOUGH HE IS STILL
STUBBORN ABOUT HIS DECISIONS. MR. JONES IS SYMBOLIZED BY
CZAR AS THEY WERE BOTH HOPELESS AND UNSUCCESSFUL LEADERS IN
THEIR OWN WAYS AS CZAR LET RUSSIA DOWN, AND MR. JONES LET
DOWN ALL OF MANOR FARM.
SNOWBALL- LEON TROTSKY
NEXT IS SNOWBALL, HE IS
SIMPLY ONE OF THE MOST
INTELLIGENT OF THE
BUNCH. SNOWBALL IS
NAMED SNOWBALL
BECAUSE HE SYMBOLIZES
THE PURITY OF THE FARM.
 SNOWBALL WAS ONE OF THE CLEVER LEADERS OF MANOR FARMS’
COMRADES WHO WERE ONCE LED BY THE FAMOUS OLD MAJOR.
SNOWBALL TOOK THE RESPONSIBILITY UPON HIMSELF DESPITE NOT
BEING TOO OLD HIMSELF. SNOWBALL WAS A GREAT LEADER BECAUSE
OF HIS ANTICIPATION OF HUMAN ATTACKS AND HOW TO DEVISE A
CAMPAIGN FOR AMBUSHING THE HUMANS. HE TAUGHT THE ANIMALS A
SMALL BUT VALUABLE LESSON( FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS BAD! )
THIS BASICALLY MEANS THAT THE ANIMALS ARE TRUSTWORTHY BUT
ALL HUMANS ARE CRUEL. SNOWBALL IS MUCH LIKE LEON TROTSKY; A
FORMER MEMBER OF THE CONSTITUENT(REPRESENTING POLITICAL
POWER) ASSEMBLY OF RUSSIA. HE WAS ONCE A REVOLUTIONARY IN
THE RISE OF THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION. LEON TROTSKY IS
REPRESENTED AS SNOWBALL AS THEY BOTH WERE ONCE GREAT
LEADERS IN THEIR OWN RESPECTIVE LIVES. THE FACT OF THE MATTER
IS THAT MR. JONES(CZAR NICHOLAS II) AND SNOWBALL(LEON
TROTSKY) ARE COMPLETE OPPOSITES.
NAPOLEON- JOSEPH STALIN

LASTLY NAPOLEON; A FIERCE

BERKSHIRE BOAR, LEADS A
REBELLION AGAINST HUMAN RULE
IN GEORGE ORWELL'S "ANIMAL
FARM." INITIALLY PORTRAYED AS
PRACTICAL, NAPOLEON'S
AMBITIONS SHIFT TO ABSOLUTE
POWER, ILLUSTRATING THE
CHALLENGES OF POWER AND
MANIPULATION.
JOSEPH STALIN'S RISE TO POWER AND NAPOLEON'S CHANGE FROM AN
IDEALISTIC REVOLUTIONARY TO A TYRANNICAL RULER ARE
STRIKINGLY SIMILAR. NAPOLEON FIRST ENCOURAGES ANIMAL UNITY
AND EQUALITY, BUT AS TIME GOES ON, HE GRADUALLY ABANDONS
THESE BELIEFS, MIRRORING STALIN'S REJECTION OF MARXIST
PRINCIPLES. NAPOLEON PLANS EXECUTIONS TO CRUSH OPPOSITION
AND STRENGTHEN HIS POSITION OF POWER USING HIS NINE DOGS
JUST LIKE STALIN’ S KGB. MOREOVER, LIKE NAPOLEON, STALIN DIDN’T
CARE ABOUT IDEAS AND DEBATES. INSTEAD, HE WAS ONLY
CONCERNED ABOUT POWER.

NAPOLEON'S METHOD OF "GETTING HIS OWN WAY" INCLUDES A MIX

OF FEAR AND LIES THAT NONE OF THE ANIMALS CAN DEFY. AN
EXAMPLE OF THIS IS NAPOLEON'S FIRST MOVE AFTER WINNING THE
REVOLUTION, WHICH IS TO STEAL THE COWS' MILK FOR THE PIGS.

THUS, NAPOLEON OF ANIMAL FARM IS A POWER OBSESSED AND

DECEPTIVE CHARACTER WHO REPRESENTS JOSEPH STALIN FROM THE
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION.
