A Comparison Of Animal Farm And The Russian Revolution

Karl Marx was a German scholar who lived in the nineteenth century, he was an idealist who spent most of his life studying and writing about history and economics. Marx wrote books that stated that the only way to establish justice was for the workers to overthrow the capitalists by means of violent revolution. He urged workers around the world to revolt against their rulers. “Workers of the world unite” he wrote. “You have nothing to lose but your chains”. During the Russian Revolution Marx’s ideas were used by a man named Lenin who had overthrown Russia's irresponsible leader “ Nicholas the Second” Lenin had better ways to keep Russia alive and happy

This takes us up to the time of the writing of “Animal Farm”. As you can see almost every event in the novel can be traced directly to an event in Russia during the period from 1900-1943, such as the “show trials” too the executions outside the farm house, or the overthrowing of “Nicholas the Second” to the battle of Cowshed. also all most all of the characters from “Animal Farm’ can de traced to a person or group of people involved in the Russian Revolution for example Napoleon represents Stalin in the way that he is obsessed with keeping power , and that he gives the pigs special treatment, also the way he use propaganda to make outsiders believe everything is great and that he is a god like leader who could never do wrong. But one of the most obvious reasons that napoleon represents Stalin is the way Napoleon over threw Snowball the way Stalin over threw Lenin. Also as is proven by the previous statement Snowball represents Lenin, in the way that he took the teachings of Old major (Karl Marx) and over threw Mr. Jones (Nicholas the second). Snowball was a great speaker as was Lenin, both were highly regarded by their followers and both were betrayed by their comrades. Also there was boxer who represented the working class, Molly who was white
