I had the power; I had the ideas, where did I go wrong? I was a more vivacious pig then Napoleon, quicker in speech and more inventive then Napoleon, but I wasn't considered to have the same depth in character as Napoleon. I spoke well and had the ideas. Where did I go wrong? And what does depth of character have to do with Power anyway? I often one the majority over with my brilliant speeches, but Napoleon was better at canvassing support for himself in between times. I enjoyed speaking and telling animals about the ideals of animalism and I’m sure that Napoleon only was in it for the power. Maybe I should have played a different game and should have being more scheming like Napoleon. Now I know what you wondering, Where did I go after I was viciously attacked by those horrible dogs? Well this was the only thing that Napoleon was right about yes I did escape too one of the neighboring farms. This is because I figured that if you can’t beat them join them. I admit I’m not proud of what I did but it was only meant to affect Napoleon. Poor, Poor old Boxer if I had the power Boxe...

This new government started out with a tribunal leadership, which Napoleon was first consul, and later changed to an empire with Napoleon as emperor. Some people believe that he made the revolution better and expanded the revolution but this is not true. The facts, when closely looked at, prove that Napoleon effectively destroyed the revolution by telling the people of his country one thing while he was actually planning on doing something totally different. He deceived people so well that he is still convincing people today that he was a defender of the revolution.

As the story continues he becomes more corrupt, and his ideas turn into a dictatorship. “Napoleon lead the animals back to the store-shed and served out a double portion of corn to everyone, with two biscuits for each dog.” As time went on his true nature, of a power crazy character begins to surface, he becomes more selfish and the principle idea of equality no longer exists.

  • Napoleon: Hero or Tyrant?

    1475 Words  | 3 Pages

    Napoleon Bonaparte was an interesting ruler in that he was compromised of attributes of both a tyrant and a hero. Napoleon had a strong following throughout his reign and even during his two exiles. He was the emperor of France between 1799 and 1815, following the fall of the Directory. Despite the efforts of the French Revolution to rid the country of an autocratic ruler, Bonaparte came to power as Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte I in 1804. He claimed that he preserved the goals of the Revolution, which can be easily argued as his rule became more dictatorial as it progressed. Despite his departure from some of the gains of the Revolution, he overall was a hero for the French people. Through his military ventures, political changes and social reform, Napoleon proved himself as a hero. This is not to say that there were aspects of his reign that were tyrannical, but he was overall beneficial for France.

    And example of this is “By seeming friendly to with Pilkington, he had forced Frederick to raise his price by twelve pounds. But the superior quality of Napoleon’s mind, said Squealer, was shown in the fact that he trusted nobody, not even Frederick. Frederick had wanted to pay for the timber with something called a cheque, which it seems, was a piece of paper with a promise to pay written upon it. But Napoleon was too clever for him,” (31). This is just one example of Napoleon’s cunning ways to get what he wants, and this was not directed towards the animals. This also illustrates that if Napoleon can be this sly and cunning such a simple situation, his effect is much bigger and greater when he is involved in a complicated and larger situation. Stated in the story, “Someone said it was the smell of barley. The animals sniffed the air hungrily and wondered whether a warm mash was being prepared for their supper… no warm mash appeared, and on the following Sunday it was announced that from now onward, all barley would be reserved for the pigs...And the news soon leaked out that every pig was now receiving a ration of a pint of beer daily, with half a gallon for Napoleon himself…” (36). Although this example is not very significant, it easily shows Napoleon’s potential to menacingly manipulate the animals. In another time in the story, the patch of land reserved for retired animals is
