The pigs also lie to the other animals at almost all times, only to benefit themselves. They live like kings, while the other animals barely survive in stalls with minimal amounts of food. At the end of the book the pigs craft the ultimate rule “ All animals are equal but some animals are MORE equal”…

    After Napoleon’s dogs expel Snowball from Animal Farm, “Four young porkers…uttered shrill squeals of disapproval…but…the dogs sitting round Napoleon let out deep menacing growls, and the pigs fell silent” (B4). Napoleon’s dogs quickly force obedience upon even the other ruling pigs, proving that the dogs have already established a reputation as creatures to be feared. An important effect of the pigs’ silence is that it prevents a powerful display of dissent that might have destroyed Napoleon’s government. By censoring the other pigs, Napoleon leaves no chance of protest available, and discourages any vocalizations of dissent. Later on, the hens of Animal Farm revolt against Napoleon after he creates a high egg production quota.…

    Both the pigs in George Orwell’s Animal Farm and Vladimir Putin use fear and propaganda to stay in power.

They eventually fall under the leadership of a pig named Napoleon, who often deceives the animals in order to maintain power.

    “Napoleon was a large, rather fierce-looking Berkshire boar, the only Berkshire on the farm, not much of a talker, but with a reputation for getting his own way” (Orwell 16). Evidently, this foreshadows the fact that Napoleon, who was rather smart, will make himself dictator and have complete control of the farm by using authoritarian and totalitarian tactics just as Stalin did. Napoleon was extremely thirsty for power and got what he wanted by using terror as well as propaganda that none of the animals on the farm could fight against. He was a stern and harsh boar who manipulated the animals on the farm through cruelty, deception, and treachery to get his ways. It is without a doubt that Napoleon was a dictatorial leader who was obviously…

    Importance of Education Essay: “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others” the previous quote found in George Orwell’s acclaimed novel Animal Farm; that criticized the Soviet government in Russia showcases the importance of manipulating and limiting education in order to achieve full power and control over others.
