Animal Farm Chapter 11

1359 Words6 Pages

Chapter 11 After Napoleon had finished drinking heavily with Frederick and Pilkington, Napoleon started dancing around the farm and somehow ended up on top of the windmill. The other animals saw that he was up there and Squealer told him to get down, but he kept dancing. He danced to the edge and took more steps than he should have and plunged to his death. When he hit the ground, he exploded and his blood, organs, and everything else splattered on the other animals. Ten minutes later, after everyone had washed off, Squealer climbed, with much difficulty, up to Old Major’s platform. “Animals,” he said, “Napoleon was a great leader, and since he died, I have declared myself lea-.” Squealer’s body seized up, and he fell over foaming from the …show more content…

He walked past the barn, past the remains of the farm house, and out onto the road not looking back, knowing that if he did, he would go crazy like Snowball. As he was walking away, he heard something behind him. A light, but constant buzz was coming from the road. A van had passed him. The people jumped out at him and beat him, bruising him, and broke his right front leg so he can’t escape. As he was being loaded into the van, he gave up on life. He lay in the back of the van, knowing where they were taking him. Clover told him of Boxer and how he died and of the van and people that took him away. It was the same people and the same van that took Boxer away. After a while, the van stopped and he walked out, bruised, bleeding, bones broken, and traumatized, he walked into the room where they take the horses to remove the collagen from them. He walked past a glass cabinet filled with the heads of the horses that were murdered there. He saw Boxer’s head staring at him as if to tell him to go back. “Boxer,” he said, “It is too late for me to turn back now. There isn’t anything left for me to do here. All of your friends are dead and it is all Napoleon’s fault.” He was pushed into the room, and tied down even though he wouldn’t have resisted anyway. The last thing he saw was the butcher knife swinging down toward his neck. Then his vision went black and he died. With him went the memory and legend of animal farm and everything that happened

He had dreamed of a fire, a fire that had torn through the gullible minds of the ignorant creatures of which he possessed control.

    "When they had finished their confession, the dogs promptly tore their throats out" (Doc B). "When it was all over, the remaining animals, except for the pigs and dogs, crept away in a body. They were shaken and miserable…” (Doc B). This evidence helps show how Napoleon is able to stay in charge because it shows how Napoleon uses violence to insert fear within the animals.

Certainly the animals did not want Jones back; if the holding of debates on Sunday mornings was liable to bring him back, then the debates must stop.

    As the situation was explained “Squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his explanation. ”(Orwell 58). Squealer’s use of fear tactics throughout the story is very persuasive with the simple animals. Using the dogs as enforcers, rationing, and even public executions all help keep the animals submissive. The consequences of Squealer’s use of pathos are mainly positive for him and he easily manipulates most of the animals into keeping Napoleon in power.

  • Napoleon's Manipulation In Animal Farm

    For example, Napoleon decides that “It was about this time that the pigs suddenly moved into the farmhouse and took up their residence there... It was absolutely necessary, he said, that the pigs, who were the brains of the farm, should have a quiet place to work in. It was also more suited to the dignity of the Leader (for of late he had taken to speaking of Napoleon under the title of "Leader") to live in a house than in a mere sty” (21) meaning that he is starting to take control of the farm. This shows that Napoleon is slowly starting to become the leader of the farmhouse and concludes that he deserves more than the others because of his high position. Furthermore, this also illustrates that the animals do not understand that Napoleon is becoming the thing that he feared most; human.

The plot was for Snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy. And he very nearly succeeded - I will even say, comrades, he WOULD have succeeded if it had not been for our heroic Leader, Comrade Napoleon.”

    Napoleon lied to the other animals in many different ways. One way he lied was by telling the other animals that he was going to send one of the horses on the farm, Boxer, to doctor to be treated for his sick lung. Napoleon made the other animals think that he was sending Boxer off to get better, but he was actually sending Boxer to a horse slaughterer to be killed. When Boxer was being loaded into the “ doctors” van one of the animals began to read what was on the side of the van. It read “ ‘ Alfred Simmonds, Horse Slaughterer and glue boiler, Willingdon.’ ”

    Furthermore, Napoleon gives the other animals the impression he was the sole leader of the rebellion on Animal farm and makes Snowball -a leader who wanted what was best for the animals- seem like an enemy who was in cahoots with Farmer Jones since long before the animals took over the farm. Napoleon and Squealer (another “fat cat” pig.) always put the blame on Snowball whenever something went wrong in the farm to avoid having the blame fall on them. Napoleon is an exemplary example of just how selfish and hypocritical people can be in furthering their own aims because he continued to subtly but purposely change the seven rules put in place as the pillars of animalism. For example, Napoleon and the other pigs move into Farmer Jones’s house and sleep in his bed after commanding “No animal shall sleep in a bed”, so he changes the commandment to read “no animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets”.

    Napoleon’s initial desire to rule the Farm grows into a monstrous greed for power which is what brings destruction to the corrupted society of Animal Farm. His foolish pursuit to obtain more increasingly becomes destructive just as the capacity does to increase. The greed has taken over him and tempts him to lie in order to obtain everything he desires. He drives Snowball out of power to keep the power all to himself, separates himself from the commoners to officialise his high status within the Animal Farm, kills Boxer to acquire money for whiskey, and adapts human idiosyncrasies in order to prove that Napoleon and the pigs are more superior and can control the commoners to obtain anything that they

    The animals start recognizing Napoleon for any good achievement done that day. For example, one of the hens recognizes Napoleon for just one stroke of good fortune. “Under the leadership of our Leader Comrade Napoleon, I have laid five eggs in six days…”(78). These poor animals are tricked into thinking that everything good that happens is due to “Comrade Napoleon's Leadership”. Every quote we see is a deeper level of corruption in Napoleon, and now, his influence on the farm is tearing what the revolution was all about.
