Napoleon Wants To Obtain Power In Pakistan
Swat valley in Pakistan is a serene mountainous area in Pakistan. Comparatively the government of Pakistan is corrupt, and causes havoc in the country. In the books we see power obsessed leaders doing anything to gain power. In Pakistan everyone wants to take power, from political leaders to large businesses, they will do everything in their power to take power. To take power leaders first have to gain supporters and keep them by persuading their citizens.
"A government that robs peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul" (George Bernard Shaw). Having power alone is impossible; leaders that have power must have people supporting them. Therefore, supporters is equal to power, and the way to gain power is to gain supporters then keep the ones you have. Napoleon, the dictator in Animal Farm, gained power by gaining support of the smarter animals such as the pigs and dogs. The pigs got away with more things that other animals would not because Napoleon was bribing them to be loyal. An example is when the pigs got to drink the milk and apples while the other animals could not (Orwell 19). Napoleon kept power by making sure the animals that supported him stayed, and the animals that did not support him were restricted. On page 56 some of the animals that did not support Napoleon were executed (Orwell). This allowed Napoleon to

Large businesses are gaining power by bribing judges ("Pakistan"). The judges are supporting the businesses allowing them to take more power. This is like Napoleon bribing other pigs so he can gain power. The government of Pakistan has restricted the citizens multiple times to ensure they keep power. When Zia-Ul-Haq instated martial law for 8 years ("Mohammad") the general was trying to keep his power by instating Martial law so the citizens could not impeach him. In Pakistan the leaders are clearly trying to gain power and keep it by persuading their

    Ever since the Seven Commandments had been written, Napoleon used his power to change the commandments and make them the way he wanted them to be. One of them he changed was, “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others” (Orwell, 111). Here, Napoleon is abusing his power because at the beginning of his regime, he followed the commandments, but after becoming accustomed to his power, he claimed it as a right and abused it. Napoleon proclaimed the absolute equality of all the animals, but gave extra power and privileges to himself and the pigs. Napoleon believes that he and the pigs have complete control and have extra privileges, while the working animals exist only to serve the pigs, to provide them with everything they desire,…

    British historian Lord Action said “power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely” (Henderson, D., 2013). Simply put this statement states that all great men are corrupted. However, this is not a belief of this writer. There are many great men, who were indeed great men. Thus, leaders should try to increase their power, as doing so will likely make them more efficient leaders of more empowered groups.…

    In George Orwell’s novel, Animal Farm, Napoleon is depicted as a fearless, persuasive leader that his animals follow blindly. But how is it that he became leader? The animals acknowledged that he was the one most capable, the one that knew most about the world. The society of animals chose to give Napoleon the power. He aimlessly became a symbol of freedom. Symbol of hope. If a leader is able to spark an intended goal or hope in a mass of lost people, bestowed upon him will be the society’s trust. Once trust is in someone else’s hands, apathy arises. Too much apathy.…

    In the novel Animal Farm, Orwell uses the character Napoleon to convey many of the ways how Napoleon gained power over the others. Napoleon gains his power by simply eliminating everyone who is coming for him, and finds the other animals weaknesses and turns turns them into his opportunities to gain more power. He also uses his experience and the smarts he has to maintain the power he wants to gain, as well as manipulate the other animals feelings. Napoleon manipulates them in many ways, such as persuading them and using violence so he can raise himself up above the others so the animals think he is better than them, and don’t try to take his power. He mostly does this because he believes that if he eliminates everyone who is currently in…

    Animal Farm, by George Orwell, is a complex book, which conveys a lot information. The book is basically a parallel of the Russian Revolution, but Orwell also wrote this book with, as an objective, to understand the major theme: ``power corrupts``. This theme is obviously presented in the novel, but to simplify your understanding of this essay, Napoleon will be used as an example of a corrupted individual by power. To conclude this introduction, the corruption of Napoleon will be presented under three aspects: Desire, Achievements and absolute power. Note: (This essay will be divided with 3 main aspects, examples and a comparison in reality (Russian Parallel)…

    Any type of power even just amongst one another, as long as it is power over someone or something that is weaker than us. The governments were created to protect, but as well to gain power over us. According to Hobbes, humans need an authority figure to provide direction and leadership to the people, or otherwise, chaos, destruction and catastrophes will happen. The people need a group of people in power which they have elected to promote their own interest. Even though our government has taken full power over us, we each individually want power and are restless and perpetual until we acquire it. This trait of human's can today be seen in Saudi Arabia. The previous man in power, Saddam Hussein, was a man that had all the power a nation can have. People ere constantly being suppressed by him, and fear, distress and panic was constant feeling amongst his people. His corrupt government was overthrown recently, but the outcomes of it have no been too pleasant. Many people are rioting and fighting the American soldiers, based there, to maintain peace among the people. Even though the corrupt power has been overthrown, the power present there, is still today undecided. There is chaos, destructions, constant bombings and shooting and killings of innocent lives. As Hobbes had said, humans need an authority figure, to provide the people with direction and leadership, which Saudi Arabia is currently lacking. As well…

    George Orwell believed in using axioms (a statement or proposition that is regarded as being established, accepted, or self-evidently true), to prove or describe a point he has previously made. One axiom in particular that Orwell uses is as follows: “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” This statement can be proved true not only through works of fiction, but also through actual historical and current events. First of all, the theme of power through corruption reverberates through George Orwell’s book, Animal Farm. One example is his use of Napoleon’s leadership. Napoleon’s original goal is to create a successful and prosperous farm run by animals. Napoleon takes over Mr. Jones’s spot as the leader of the…

    Orwell warns against giving too much power to leaders. The pigs were given way too much supremacy. Napoleon was so honored that they adopted the phrase "Napoleon is always right." Doing this gave Napoleon the right to do basically whatever he wanted. The pigs were allowed the break all the commandments they had set. They ate all the good food and drink while the other animals went hungry. The laborers like Boxer said things like, "I'll work harder", only so that the pigs could waste more resources and food.…
