Animal Farm
Section 1: characterization
a)
The protagonist, Snowball, does not change behavior throughout the novel. In the beginning,
he is all for the liberation of the animals from man and for making life better for the animals
though educating and organizing them.
“Snowball also busied himself with organizing the other animals into what he called Animal
Committees. He was indefatigable at this. He formed the Egg Production Committee for the
hens, the Clean Tails League for the cows, the Wild Comrades’ Re-education Committee (the
object of this was to tame the rats and rabbits), the Whiter Wool Movement for the sheep, and
various others, besides instituting classes in reading and writing.”
b) The antagonist, Napoleon, does change his behavior between the commencement and the
conclusion of the novel. In the beginning, he convinces the other animals not to have any

dealings with man later, however, he explains that there is a need for the animals to trade with
the neighboring farms to obtain that which cannot be produced at Animal Farm.
“Napoleon announced that he had decided upon a new policy. From now onwards Animal Farm
would engage in trade with the neighboring farms: not, of course, for any commercial purpose,
but simply to obtain certain materials which were urgently necessary”.
Later still, he, like Mr. Jones before him, keeps away from the other animals and surrounds
himself with security which threatens the other animals should they come near him.
“In these days Napoleon rarely appeared in public but spent all his time in the farmhouse, which
was guarded at each door by fierce-looking dogs. When he did emerge, it was ceremonial, with
an escort of six dogs who closely surrounded him and growled if anyone came too near”.
Section 2: character conflict
Napoleon’s primary internal conflict is his inability to come up with good ideas the way
snowball does, and since he wants to lead the other animals, he finds himself in a perpetual battle
with Snowball who outshines him; this also suggested by his quiet, sinister nature.
“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”.
As a result, he lives in denial of self and of the brightness of snowball bidding his time until he
can set the dogs on him and drive him out of the farm.
Napoleon’s external conflict is Snowball himself. He would like to be the leader of each
and every animal on the farm, but Snowball is in the way because he is the brightest pig. He does

not only oppose Snowball’s committees in which he has no interest, but he also begins planning
early for Snowball’s downfall by taking away the puppies and educating them for this purpose.
“Napoleon took no interest in Snowball’s committees. He said that the education of the young
was more important than anything that could be done for those who were already grown up. It
happened that Jessie and Bluebell had both whelped soon after the hay harvest, giving birth to
them to nine sturdy puppies. As soon as they were weaned, Napoleon took them away from their
mothers, saying that he would make himself responsible for their education. He took them up
into a loft which could only be reached by a ladder from the harness-room, and there kept them
in such seclusion that the rest of the farm soon forgot their existence.”
As a result, he sets the dogs after him and manages to have him expelled from the farm.

Section 3: Literary Elements
a)
George Orwell uses diction to contrast the intention of the pigs at the beginning of the novel
with their plans later and thereby give a cynical tone to the story. In the beginning, the pigs work
hard together to convince the other animals and indeed to educate them as if all they care for is
the liberation of all the animals from the cruelty of Mr. Jones.
The trio had expounded on the ancient Major’s teachings into a whole system of thought,
named Animalism. Several nights a week, after Mr. Jones was asleep, they held secret summits
in the barn and hence explained the Animalism principles to the others.
Later, however, Napoleon finds a way of justifying his every move especially his means
of breaking the commandments using Squealer after Snowball is expelled. It also happens when
the pigs change the commandments to sleep on beds and to raise an hour late. Napoleon becomes
paranoid surrounding himself with security and isolating himself further from the other farm
animals.
“…and fresh precautions for Napoleon’s safety were taken. Four dogs guarded his bed at night,
one at each corner and a young pig named Pinkeye was given the task of tasting all his food
before he ate it, lest it should be poisoned.”
In the same way, Orwell is cynical of the ways the supplementary animals slowly get used to the
pigs’ cruelty and uses diction to express this cynicism.
“So that, with the songs, Squealer’s lists of figures, the processions, the crowing of the cockerel,
th...
