Orwell tells us about the power and the rise of the Dictator. In the novel Napoleon slowly becomes a dictator. The idea's that Animal Farm begun with were currupted. The power that Napoleonhad was openly abused and as a result Animal Farm did not end up as the equal society which Animal Farm was meant to become instead Animal Farm ended up in a Dictatorship and not an equal society. Napolean ends up becoming like Jones and has animal's slaughtered and looks down at the animal's and does not treat them fairly. Napolean kill's animal's that disagree with him or his opinions, we see this in the following quote. "And so the tale of confessions and executions went on, untill there was a pile of corpses lying before Napolean's feet and the air was heavy with the smell of blood, which had been unknown there since the expulsion of Jones." Animal Farm did not turn out in the fair and equal society that it was firstly set out to be, Instead of Animal Farm turning out in the fair and equal society wanted Animal Farm turned out as a dictatorship with Napolean as the Dictator. The ideals of freedom have now gone from the farm. Napolean abused his power as a Dictator. Napolean used the dog's as a means of keeping his power and also to keep all the other animal's on the farm agreeing with his idea's and plans for the farm, The following quote shows this; "Silent and terrified, the animal's crept back into the barn. In a moment the dog's came bounding back. At first no one had been able to imagine where these creature's had came from, but the problem was soon solved: they were the puppies whom Napolean had taken away from their mothers and reared privately." The animals were pettrified of the dog's. Animal Farm has ended up as a dictatorship. Revolution is not often a good idea if atall. All or most revolutions do not end up as the fair and equal society they set out to become and instead they end up in a Dictatorship.
Propaganda is another part of Revolution, Squealer is in charge of the propaganda. The purpose of the propaganda was to make the animal' believe what the pig's wanted them to believe. When people in this case animal's begin to believe lies that they are told, they slowly begin to fall apart and not believe the truth they begin to believe what people want them to believe and not what they think they should and should not believe. An example of propaganda from squealer is "And do you not remember, too, that it was just at that moment, when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that Comrade Napolean sprang forward with a cry of "Death to Humanity!" and sank his teeth into Jones's leg?" In the previous quote Squealer is lying about the battle of the cow shed. The commandment's are also important to the society on Animal Farm. The commandments were about the way that Animal Farm was to be run. One of them commandments was that "No animal shall drink alcohol" however it was changed to "No animal will drink alcohol to excess." Squealer tells them "There were two words that they had forgotten". With the pigs changing the commandments the farm will not end up in the fair and equal society that was wanted by all but instead the farm will end up in a dictatorship, this is souly because of the Revolution.
Orwell shows victims in the society of Animal Farm through betrayal. This betrayal is shown through Boxer. Boxer's favourite moto's were "Must work Harder!" and "Napolean is always right!". Boxer believed that if he worked hard for as long as he could and done as much work as he could physically do that he would be able to retire. Even when Boxer became old and sick, he continued to work. When Boxer could no longer do the work Napolean sent him to be slaughtered. Before Boxer could do anything and realised what was going on it was too late. "The time had been when a few kick's from Boxer's hoofs would have smashed the van to matchwood, But alas ! his strength had left him; and in a few moments the sound of drumming hoofs grew fainter and died away." The Revolution caused Boxer to lose his strength and he was betrayed through trust. The Revolution did not do what emplied, which was to make the animals happier by making everyone equal, but instead destroyed Boxer. The other victim in the society was the Hens Napolean planned to take all the eggs layed by the Hens and sell them. The Hens did not like the idea of their eggs being taken away and in return they rebelled againt Napolean by throwing their eggs off the roof and destroying them all. "They protested that to take the eggs away now was murder. For the first time since the expulsion of Jones there was something resembling a rebellion. Led by three young Black Minorca pullets, the Hens made a determined effort to thwart Napolean's wishes." With this the Hens had their rashins stopped and were destroyed. Napolean stopped their rashins. "Nine Hens died in the mean time" The Hens were killed because they threatend Napolean's power by rebelling against him and his wishes. In the way which the Hens rebelled against Napolean and were killed for doing so, no other animal dared to rebell against Napolean in fear of them being killed. This shows that all the animal's were scared of Napolean and there for do everything he says. This Revolution has not achieved what it firstly set out to be and instead has ended up as the opposit.
Revolution does not achieve what it sets out to. George Orwell wants the reader to understand what a revolution is about and the stages in which it goes through. In the novel Napolean becomes the dictator in this unequal society. In revolution propaganda is used to persuade others to believe what the leader's want them to believe. The revolution did not end up as the equal society wanted but instead ended up as a Dictaorship.
