Snowball wanted to spread Animalism instead, arguing that defence was not needed if Animalism was widespread. However, Napoleon believed that Animal Farm's defence was more important that the spreading of Animalism, at that point of time, because the humans may attack them.
Napoleon's quotes about Snowball in George Orwell's "Animal Farm" illustrate his disdain for Snowball's ideas and leadership. Snowball represents intellect and innovation, advocating for improvements that benefit all animals, like the windmill. Napoleon's negative portrayal of Snowball serves to consolidate his own power and manipulate the other animals, framing Snowball as a scapegoat for failures and dissent. This dynamic highlights themes of propaganda and the struggle for control within the narrative.
Yes and no. Snowball had an opponent, Napoleon, which made the audience(the animals on Animal Farm) confused on which side they should be on. Most of the time Snowball had the brilliant ideas and fascinating thoughts of the future and was good at talking. Napoleon overthrew him when he trained the puppies of Jessie and commanded them to chase Snowball out.
Both Napoleon and Snowball want to create a revolution that will free the farm animals from the farmer. Napoleon is content to only free the Manor and create his own fiefdom, where Snowball wants to free every farm.
Napoleon represents Stalin for the following reasons:He opposes Snowball's (Trotsky's) ideas and later uses Snowball's ideas to his own benefit Blames Snowball for everything that occurs (even when he was absent)He assumes as "Leader" of the farm and makes his own rulesNo one objects to him; if they do his guard dogs threaten themMakes minor changes to the CommandmentsTakes the 9 puppies from Jessie and Bluebell and trains them to be his guard dogs (secret police)Makes Squealer (propaganda) to his own benefitThe pigeons become his messengers; spreading news about his deeds and etc.
In Chapter 7 of "Animal Farm," Snowball is further revealed to be an intelligent and strategic leader. He contributes ideas for the windmill that Napoleon later takes credit for, showing his dedication to improving the farm. Snowball also leads the defense of the farm during the Battle of the Cowshed, displaying courage and tactical skill.
Snowball is often viewed as a bad leader in George Orwell's "Animal Farm" due to his inability to consolidate power and effectively address the challenges posed by Napoleon. While he is intelligent and has innovative ideas, such as the windmill project, he is ultimately ousted and undermined by Napoleon's ruthless tactics. Snowball's lack of political savvy and failure to build strong alliances leave him vulnerable, demonstrating that good intentions alone do not guarantee effective leadership. His eventual exile showcases the dangers of idealism without practical power.
In George Orwell's "Animal Farm," the three animals that take charge of preparing for the rebellion are the pigs: Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer. They lead the other animals in organizing the uprising against the human farmer, Mr. Jones. Each pig plays a distinct role, with Napoleon focusing on consolidating power, Snowball on planning and spreading revolutionary ideas, and Squealer on propaganda and communication.
Snowball represents Leon Trotsky, Napoleon represents Stalin. Stalin manipulated the politics to force Trotsky out of power (of the farm) and then used many of Trotsky's ideas.
Snowball from Animal Farm is a clever, charismatic pig who is passionate about revolution and creating a more equal society. He is known for his eloquence and intelligence, often coming up with innovative ideas to improve the farm. However, some animals view him as a threat due to his rivalry with Napoleon, leading to his eventual expulsion from the farm.
In George Orwell's "Animal Farm," Snowball's significance can be compared to Julius Caesar in that both are ambitious leaders who seek to implement progressive reforms. Snowball, like Caesar, is a visionary who proposes innovative ideas, such as the windmill, to improve the lives of his fellow animals. However, just as Caesar faced opposition and betrayal, Snowball is ultimately ousted by Napoleon, highlighting themes of power struggles and the fragility of leadership. This parallel underscores the dangers of ambition and the susceptibility of revolutionary ideals to corruption.
