Animal Farm

Old Major's speech

started the rebellion of animal

farm off with great hatred towrads humans, and anything

associated with them. One of the main points bringing

hatred to Mr. Jones's can be found on page 30 "Is it

not crystal clear, then, comrades, that all the evil

of this life of our springs from the tyranny of human

beings? Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our

labour would be our own.". This quote brought great

hatred to Mr. Jones's because it brought up the

tyranny he put the animals through, as well as the

fact that Mr. Jones's takes the fruits of their labor.

Old Majors's main in this was to make it so the other

animals were all to take the side of eachother, and

turn against man. At another point in the story is

found on page 28 and 29, it states "Because nearly the

whole of the produce of our labour is stolen from us

by human beings. there, comrades, is the answer to all

our problems. Itis summed up ina single word-Man. Man

is the only real enemy we ahve. Remove Man from the

scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is

abolished for ever.". This gives us another sign of

the weakness of Man. Be seeing that Man is the ones

keeping them at bay, and taking everything they have

worked for in their lives, it brings great hatred to

the farm. So by the end of the speech, all of man is

hated by all the animals.

Napolean's outlook, and response

to everything

that happened, could be blamed on the fact that he

had little, to nothing to do with the rebellion at

the beginning. This is shown on page 27 the quote

reads "The two horses had lain down when a brood

of ducklings, which had lost their mother, filed

into the barn, cheeping feebly and wandering

from side to side to find some place where they would

not be trodden on. Clover made a sort of wall round them

with her great foreleg, and the ducklings nestled down

inside it nd promptly fell asleep. At the last moment

Mollie, the foolish, prettty white mare who drew Mr.

Jones's trap, came mincing daintily in, chewing at a lump

of sugar. She took a place near the front and began

flirting her white mane, hoping to draw attention to the

red ribbons it was plaited with. Last of all came the cat,

who looked around as usual, for the warmest place, and

finally squeezed herself in between Boxer and Clover;

there she purred contentedly throughout Major's speech

without listening to a word of what he was saying." Now,

no where within that entire quote, was it ever mentioned

that Napolean had shown up to this great speech. This

has a hidden meaning possibly about why it is that

Napolean can rewrite history, because he never knew what

it was in the first place. Napolean starts to show how he

has changed the history in certain points in time using

Squealer on page 36 "The others said of Squaler that he

could
