What is a theme and why is it important? Well, a theme is the message that the author is trying to convey throughout the story. It is important because the theme is one of the reasons why the author wrote it in the first place. "Animal Farm", a novella written by George Orwell, tells a story of a group of animals from Manor farm who rebel against their human farm owner. There are several characters in which their actions developed themes throughout the novel such as Squealer and Napoleon. Both characters' actions developed the themes of "using language as an instrument to abuse power" and "corruption".

First, both Napoleon and Squealer demonstrates the theme of "using language as an instrument to abuse power". One of the author's focal concerns in the novel is the way language can be used as an instrument of control. In the novella, Squealer is known to be manipulative for he is a vastly persuasive speaker. He uses language to make the animals doubt what they have witnessed firsthand and to accept and believe the falsehoods that Squealer tells them. According to the text, ""You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organization of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples."" This tells the readers that Squealer is quite good at making others agree on his beliefs. Napoleon is also one of the characters that demonstrates this theme. Although he is not a gifted speaker, he is still known for getting his ways. In the novella, Napoleon seemed to possess the trust of the animals. According to the text, it states, ""Comrades, do you know who is responsible for this? Do you know the enemy who has come in the night and overthrown our windmill? SNOWBALL!"" This tells the readers that Napoleon was blaming Snowball which then led to the animals believing what Napoleon said for one of the characters, Boxer, claimed that "Napoleon is always right."

Second, both Napoleon and Squealer demonstrates the theme of "corruption". The novella consists a lot of foreshadowing in which it creates the sense that the events of the story are unavoidable. the novella also unequivocally recommend that some other conceivable ruler would have been as terrible as Napoleon. According to the text, ""Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer—except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs."" This tells the readers that this is a form of corruption for it says that the farm had gotten richer while the animals, except for the pigs and the dogs, were left with nothing. In addition, Squealer demonstrates this theme for he represents the propaganda arm of the controlling class, which are the pigs. He usually takes the truth and spin it to create false accusations on Snowball or the others, to show that Napoleon has no flaws. According to the text, "the others said of Squealer that he could turn black into white." This tells the readers that Squealer is quite capable in manipulating anyone of anything. Napoleon uses this skill for his own benefits.

In conclusion, both Napoleon and Squealer's actions developed the themes of "using language as an instrument to abuse power" and "corruption". This is because both characters work together to be able to manipulate the other animals. They also take advantage of the other animals which then makes them corrupt and evil. In the novella, Squealer is talented in persuading and manipulating others. Napoleon on the other hand is not very gifted in speaking but is quite intimidating. Both in which are a result of them demonstrating the two themes.

Explanation:

Animal Farm, by George Orwell, the Englishman, is a tale about animals overtaking a farm, taking ownership of it, and attempting to turn the environment into a less human world. The fairy tale took place on a farm called Manor Farm, which later became Animal Farm in the book. George Orwell explained in his book that communism is a system of injustice, that it corrupts communist leaders, causing them to destroy others in order to remain in power, and that communism is not a good form of government. The gaps between pigs and other popular animals illustrate the theme that when a majority is ruled, the abuse of power occurs. The superior intellect helps the pigs to put themselves in a position that is closer to power and easier to corrupt. The inability to challenge the permission makes the other common animals who suffer the corrupting effect of power become the naïve working class. The essence of pigs, greed, is the root of the ultimate force of their undying lust. Therefore, to stop being thrown away, they need to work harder. Rather than challenging the unjust treatment, the animals think less and do more work instead. Popular animals are naive working class, unable or unable to challenge authority, condemning themselves to the full extent of the injustice of the ruling class. The pigs lose themselves in their desire for ultimate strength, after getting a taste of strength. A minority governs the majority of the animals because of the supreme role of the pigs on the farm, their greed for power contributes to the corruption of power. First of all, in order to have exclusive control, Napoleon uses dogs to eject Snowball. At the beginning, Napoleon starts to oppose every suggestion Snowball proposes. He secretly raises the puppy and shows them up while Snowball is excluded.These fierce dogs were a symbol of the authority and absolute control of Napoleon. It is the first time that execution occurs in the farm, the nature of Animalism is disobeyed, all animals are mates. No one, however, dares to challenge him because, even if it begins to corrupt, Napoleon has absolute control. Early on in the novel, when the animals finally have driven out their oppressive master, Mr. Jones, they take the management of the farm into their own hands, creating a set of Seven Commandments based on the teachings of a wise old pig by the name of Old Major. Commandment numbers one through six are centered upon the general idea that no animal should ever come to resemble man, and commandment number seven states, “All animals are equal.” "In the front row, four young porkers voiced shrill squeals of disgust. The dogs sitting around Napoleon, however, unexpectedly let out deep threatening growls and the pigs fell silent and sat down again' (54). Throughout Orwell 's book, dogs are used as the means by which Napoleon uses fear to claim control over the animals. Napoleon knows that even the smoothly spoken Squealer is not enough to win the animals to his side, so Napoleon uses his cronies to get the animals to follow him unconditionally, much like bullies on a playground. The dogs are used as a contingency measure at first, but as the novel develops and the policies of Napoleon become more and more unrestrained, he realizes that he needs a sure way to get the animals to obey without doubt. Napoleon announces that the windmill promoted by Snowball is to be installed three weeks after the expulsion of Snowball, and Squealer explains to the animals that Napoleon had never really opposed the windmill, but had only used "Tactics, Comrade, Tactics" (58) to get Snowball to leave. The animals were not sure what the word [tactics] meant, but Squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happened to be with him grumbled so threateningly that he was embraced by them.
