Chapter 1 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

Chapter I

I think that this chapter represents me as the wise old boar that everybody on the farm loves and adores, just like I should be. I am the oldest and the founder of the revolution that is to come. I tell my story to my followers and they agree with me and sing Beasts of England for my passing, which is a symbol of hope and survival in the chapters to come. I think that I started the revolution on the farm with my death which is a symbol of what I did in my own life. I spent my lifetime working for a tyrant I was only hoping overthrow. I overthrew Nicholas Alexandrovich Romanov or Nicholas the 2nd and doing so I started the Russian Revolution which I did in real life.

Chapter 2 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

Chapter II

In this chapter, I die in my sleep leaving with me the hope of taking the farm back from Mr. Jones, the tyrant who represents my political enemy the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas Alexandrovich Romanov or Nicholas the 2nd, who makes us work to receive nothing. I think that the animals preparing for the revolution for 3 months is well though out and will only make their plan of attack better than just lashing out at Jones at once. The animals call each other "Comrade" which shows that they treat each other equally for now. Their toughest opposition of the idea of a revolution is Moses the raven, who represents organized religion in which I am severely opposed to the idea of.

Chapter 3 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

Chapter III

The animals spend a laborious summer working in the fields in which I, Vladimir Lenin could not have been more proud of seeing as of the fact that I practically started this entire escapade that is a revolution. The pigs think of clever ways to use the humans tools the members of which including, Napoleon who represents Joseph Stalin, Snowball who represents Leon Trotsky, one of my disciples and followers throughout the book opposed Napoleon and paid the price for it. Snowball opposed Napoleon and was hurt and outcasted by everybody else on Animal Farm because he followed me and tried to make his country a better place. Napoleon rejected Snowball and his ideas because of the fact that they failed which connects to Stalin having Trotsky assassinated in Mexico.

Chapter 4 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

Chapter IV

In this chapter, The Battle of Cowshed takes place and we are victorious just as we should be, because of the fact that animals are victorious and we are standing up for what we believe in. Boxer represents the working class of Russia, for which the people have to work for what they get. In this Chapter, Boxer is downstricken with grief because he believed he killed one of Jones Men that attacked the farm when in actuality the man was knocked out.  

Chapter 5 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

Chapter V

In this chapter, Mollie seems to be some sort of representation of Russia's upper classes. But, since Orwell portrays her as a horse, the same animal that represents the working class horses, Boxer and Clover. Mollie may represent members of the working class that remained faithful to the Tsar, Mr. Jones. Winter is coming in this chapter and the animals are trying to prepare just like they tried to prepare for the revolution. Mollie has been spending time with on Pilkington's men, by which Pilkington represents the Leader of England, not representing anybody in particular, but merely the people of England. 

Chapter 6 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

I think this chapter is when the leadership starts to go against all the founding principles of Animalism. The founding principle of Animalism is that all animals are equal, but the pigs clearly see themselves as above the other animals. Also, when the animals move into the farmhouse and sleep in the beds, it violates one of the original Seven Commandments. Another example of this is when the pigs start trading with the other farms, which violated another one of the original commandments. This shows how corrupt the pigs have become, especially when the pigs change the Commandments to suit their selfish wants. This represents how Stalin changed the concepts of Communism from what I originally planned to the oppressive system it is known as today.

Chapter 7 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

This chapter shows how corrupt the pigs have become. They have become even more oppressive and have continued lying to the other animals. The public executions violate yet another of the original Seven Commandments of Animalism. They gave the animals false statistics saying life was better than right after the rebellion. These lies were probably intended to make sure the animals didn't rebel against Napoleon and the pigs. Napoleon also reduced the chances of rebellion by banning the singing of "Beasts of England", replacing it with another song written by one of the pigs. This chapter represents how extremely Stalin twisted my original ideas of Communism. He changed equality for everyone to equality for everyone except a few people above everyone else.

Chapter 8 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

This chapter continues to show how the pigs have deceived the other animals. An example of this is that the commandments keep being changed, but Squealer is always able to convince the animals that they merely forgot the commandments. Also, when Napoleon was undecided about who to sell the extra wood to, the pigs convinced the other animals that he was using tactics. The only time Napoleon was honest to the animals was when he told them to prepare for the worst after he found out the money he got for the wood was fake. When the windmill was destroyed, the pigs simply had the animals build another windmill without caring about the amount of labor or food they got. This chapter represents how Stalin didn't care about the working class and only cared about himself.

Chapter 9 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

This chapter shows the cruelty of Napoleon. He makes the animals work when they are already weakened, with even less food than before. He also has Squealer continuously lie to them about the statistics saying they had more food and less work than with Mr. Jones. Squealer also comes up with new stories about Snowball, saying he openly fought for Mr. Jones during the Battle of the Cowshed. Also, when Boxer became unable to work, Napoleon sold him to a butcher to buy more whiskey for the pigs. Squealer then claimed that Boxer died in the hospital to make sure his death didn't cause another revolution.

Chapter 10 Vladimir Lenin Analysis

This chapter shows how the pigs ruined the idea of Animalism. They slowly became just like humans by smoking, listening to radio, reading magazines, installing a telephone, wearing human clothes, and eventually walking on two legs. Also, Napoleon turned Animal Farm back into what it was with Mr. Jones. He did this by stopping the animals from calling each other "Comrade", ending the animals paying homage to Old Major, and removing the horn and hoof from the flag. He also changed the name from Animal Farm back to Manor Farm. At the end, the only differences between the present and before the rebellion were that the farm was run by a pig, and the animals got less food and did more work.
