the leadership of the communist party. Stalin won. In 1927 Stalin expelled Trotsky from
the party and the country just like Napoleon did to Snowball
In 1940 Trotsky was assassinated, under Stalin’s orders.

Animal Farm – The dogs
Napoleon’s enforcersUsed to instill fear in other animals
Taken from their parents when they were puppies and raised by Napoleon
A part of his strategy to control the animals

Napoleon—Secret Motives
We have suspected the motives of the pigs and Napoleon
Chapter III stealing apples and milk for themselves The pigs appear more interested in grabbing
resources When Napoleon sets his dogs on Snowball, he proves
that his socialist ideas about the common good is quite empty
Napoleon’s takeover a long period of careful plotting: He first took control of the dogs’ training in Chapter III. The banishment of Snowball is the end of long-held
resentments and aspirations

Propaganda in Action
Squealer is used to explain Napoleon’s actions Says it was a sacrifice on Napoleon’s part to
take on so much extra responsibility “No one believes more firmly than Comrade
Napoleon that all animals are equal.” p. 55 Says it’s for the animals own good that
Napoleon rule “He would be only too happy to let you make
your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions … and then where should we be?” p.55

Chapter 5 Summary—The Windmill

Other Notables:
Orwell was part of a Trotskyist group in the late 1930’s during the Spanish Civil War Could be why Snowball is looked at in
a positive manner Boxer adds a new maxim: Napoleon is
always right His personal motto “I will work harder”

Emerging Themes
1. Poor Memory of the past makes the people easier to control
2. Lack of knowledge or education makes it impossible to speak out against injustice
Boxer-“…in the end he could not think of anything to say.” p. 54
3. Blind loyalty to one’s leaders is dangerous
“Napoleon is always right”
