Leadership is a very significant key idea in the novel ‘Animal Farm’ by George Orwell. Without leadership on the farm, there would be chaos and the farm would fall apart. Napoleon was a dictator and lied to the farm animals. Old Major was fair and someone the animals could trust. Mr Jones was also a dictator who was very blunt with the animals and what they had to do.
Napoleon was a dictator who lied to the farm animals to get them to do what he wanted. His style of leadership gets things done but is not fair and honest towards the other animals. He always made up lies and laws to make the other animals believe that he was always right and everything that went wrong was not his fault. The other animals seem too scared of him and his dogs and what they will do to them if they try to do something wrong. When the animals find out that the four pigs were working for Snowball, Napoleon got the dogs to kill them. Then he killed all the other animals that were in touch with Snowball. He made them believe that the animals that were killed were doing something very wrong. Napoleon lies to the animals and tells them that if they do not do their work then Mr Jones will come back, and they do not want that. These are examples of Napoleon using his power and leadership to manipulate the other animals and stay in power. George Orwell shows that Napoleon is a powerful leader in many ways. The text ‘Napoleon ordered the animals to assemble. For some time nobody spoke,’ in particular, makes me believe that he is trying to show that Napoleon is a leader that most of the animals respect but fear slightly. Napoleon resembles Joseph Stalin in the way that he leads. Stalin was seen as a cruel leader who would get rid of anyone who got in his way, and millions of people who refused to cooperate with him were executed as a result. Napoleon is similar to this because he used violence as a way to stay in power. He trained the dogs to be his bodyguards and to carry out his orders.
