Animal Farm's New Name of Manor Farm

Pilkington praised Napoleon on his extreme strictness that he imposed upon the animals, forbidding them any time to enjoy themselves. The men and pigs start playing cards, flattering and praising each other, while cheating at the game. The card game at the end of the novel is a metaphor for the Tehran Conference. Besides, at the end of the novel, both Napoleon and Pilkington draw the Ace of Spades at the same time and begin fighting loudly, symbolizing the beginning of tension between the U.S.A and Soviet superpower or the Cold War. Pilkington in the allegory represents the Western powers, as Great Britain and the U.S.A, that is Winston Churchill and Roosevelt. The Ace of Spades could represent the atom bomb. Mr. Frederick is the tough owner of Pinchfield Farm, a well-kept farm, neighboring with the Animal Farm. Mr. Frederick was constantly in bad terms with Mr. Pilkington, owner of the other farm on the opposite side of Animal Farm. Many animals hated Mr. Frederick. However,

MAJOR'S PRINCIPLES OF GENUINE CONCERN FOR ANIMALS OF THE FARM.

According to one interpretation, Old Major could be based upon both Karl Marx and Lenin. As the body of Lenin, the skull of the Old Major was buried and greeted by the animals every day (even after the revolution). As Marx, author of the Manifest Communist, died before the first communist revolution, Old Major, founder of the animalism, dies before the Animal Farm revolution.

Protagonist: Napoleon is a pig. Napoleon is with Snowball, the other main leader of the rebellion. He is also the main tyrant of Animal Farm. Napoleon is more adept at building alliances among the other animals and is also more politically astute than his rival (Snowball). Napoleon takes advantage of the animals' rebellion against their master (Mr. Jones) to become the tyrannical president of Animal Farm, which he turns into a dictatorship. After the rebellion, Napoleon banishes Snowball from the farm and usurps full power, as Stalin placed Trotsky in exile.

THE ALLEGORY, NAPOLEON REPRESENTS STALIN, WHO SET UP A DICTATORSHIP BASED ON REPRESSION AND DESPOTISM. BESIDES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NAPOLEON AND SNOWBALL MIRRORS THAT AMONG STALIN AND TROTSKY. SNOWBALL IS WITH NAPOLEON, THE OTHER MAIN LEADER OF THE REBELLION, AND IS NAPOLEON'S RIVAL. UNLIKE NAPOLEON, SNOWBALL SEEMS TO SHARE OLD MAJOR'S PRINCIPLES. SNOWBALL WORKS REALLY FOR THE GOOD OF THE FARM AND DEVISES PLANS TO HELP THE ANIMALS ACHIEVE THEIR VISION OF A UTOPIA, BUT IS BANISHED FROM THE FARM BY NAPOLEON WHO WANTS TO MAKE HIM SEEM EVIL AND CORRUPT, BLAMING HIM FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WINDMILL THAT THE ANIMALS HAD BUILT. IN THE ALLEGORY, SNOWBALL REPRESENTS TROTSKY, WHO WAS EXILED BY STALIN TO CONSOLIDATE HIS OWN POWER. IN FACT, SNOWBALL, LIKE TROTSKY, IS EXILED BY NAPOLEON, WHO USURPS FULL POWER. SNOWBALL WRITES THE FIRST VERSION OF THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS. BUT LATER, THESE HAVE BEEN CHANGED BY SQUEAREL UNDER THE ORDERS OF NAPOLEON TO ACCOMMODATE THE TREACHEROUS.

ACTIONS OF THE PIG. FOR EXAMPLE, THE COMMANDMENT THAT STATES "NO ANIMAL SHALL DRINK ALCOHOL" WAS CHANGED WITH "NO ANIMAL SHALL DRINK ALCOHOL TO EXCESS." SQUEALER IS A FICTIONAL PIG FROM ORWELL'S ANIMAL FARM. SQUEALER IS A BRILLIANT AND PERSUASIVE ORATOR, THEREFORE HE SUCCEEDS TO CONVINCE THE OTHER ANIMALS OF THE FARM. THEN SQUEALER TAKES THE CENTRAL ROLE IN MAKING ANNOUNCEMENTS TO THE ANIMALS (AS NAPOLEON APPEARS LESS AND LESS OFTEN AS THE BOOK PROGRESSES). IN THE ALLEGORY, SQUEALER REPRESENTS MOLOTOV WHO WAS STALIN'S PRIME MINISTER, FOREIGN MINISTER, AND CONSTANT SPOKESPERSON. LIKE MOLOTOV, SQUEALER IS NAPOLEON'S SPOKESPERSON. SQUEALER TWISTS AND ABUSES THE LANGUAGE TO EXCUSE, JUSTIFY, AND EXTOL ALL OF NAPOLEON'S ACTIONS. HE REPRESENTS ALL THE PROPAGANDA STALIN USED TO JUSTIFY HIS ACTIONS. ORWELL USES SQUEALER TO MAINLY SHOW HOW SAME GOVERNMENTS AND POLITICIANS USED LANGUAGE.
