Free Essays - Animal Farm :: Animal Farm

ï » ¿Introduction    â€Å"Animal Farm† is a symbolical political satire in which animals take the place of humans. These animals can talk and are just as intelligent as humans. They learn to read and each type of animal a different aspect of humanity. (Ex.: Pigs- Politicians; Horses- Laborers; Sheep- Gullible People; etc. ) This book shows how a government that is set up to serve the people turns against them, just like communism did to the Russian people. Animalism symbolizes communism and the characters symbolize Russian leaders and people of importance. This is a tale with no happy ending.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Characters   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   The Pigs   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   They symbolize politicians in a stereotypical sense. Some of them lie, cheat,   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   and steal from the animals they are supposed to serve. They make promises   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   that are never kept. Propaganda is spread to the animals they are supposed to   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   represent. Old Major   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   He is a pig who is very old. He has seen the lifestyle the animals live and is   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   dissatisfied with it. He creates a government ideology called animalism which   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   represents communism. He is the Karl Marx of this world. Napoleon   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   He is a large, fierce looking Berkshire boar, who is not much of a talker. He   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   uses animalism only to increase his power and the dogs to terrorize the other   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   animals. Napoleon symbolizes the dictator Joseph   Stalin in this world. Snowball   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   He is a pig that fights with Napoleon over the power on the farm. He is a very   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   energetic, eloquent speaking, brilliant leader who organizes the defense of the   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   farm. Napoleons jealousness of him makes him try to kill Snowball. Snowball   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   flees the area and every misfortune in Animal Farm after that is blamed on   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   him. He represents Leon Trotsky in this story. Squealor   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   He is a short, fat, twinkle eyed pig who is a brilliant talker. He justifies the   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   horrible actions of Napoleon and most of the animals buy into it. He has a sly,   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   persuasive air to him. This is why he is head of Napoleon’s propaganda plan.    Boxer   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   He is a large, very powerful horse who is not too bright. He buys into   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   animalism and works the hardest on the farm. He saves the farm on multiple   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   occasions and declared a national hero. After he gets too sick to work   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   Napoleon secretly sells him to a glue factory. Boxer symbolizes the hard   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚   working Russian class that Stalin abused for his own benefit.
