CHARACTERS


“Animal Farm” it is my second novel. There are two main characters, Snowball and Napoleon.

Snowball he is a very intelligent, persuasive, and passionate pig. Snowball gives the comrades a very good impression about what he’s trying to say through his speech. However, Snowball is too nice and weak to become a strong leader like Napoleon. Napoleon is a very greedy, strong, and harsh leader. Snowball is my favorite character through the novel because he is a very wise and caring leader for his comrades in the farm, and he is the brain of the farm. He is the one that first gives the impression of taking over the farm from Mr. Jones to the animals.

Napoleon’s characteristics are hateful to me. First of all, Napoleon betrays his friend Snowball to become the new leader of the animal farm which makes him greedy. So, I don’t like Napoleon because, power is more important for him than friendship and in my case friendship is the most important thing in my life after family. Second, takes advantages over his comrades even though they have the same rights. I don’t like someone giving orders to others even though they have the same identity and the rights.

In this novel they reveal about the universal human society. You can see the animal farm as a very good business company. Snowball and Napoleon can be seen as friends and high ranks in the company. Snowball represents “kindness”. Even though Napoleon takes over his place he doesn’t really say anything and lets him become the new leader. Napoleon represents “greed”, because he does anything to succeed his plan even he has to betray a very good old friend. These two characters represent a really good characteristic of human society nowadays.

★ Whom do you think you represnet, Snowball or Napoleon? ★

i disagree how you wrote about Snowball. Snowball can be a better leader than Napoleon, because he cares for the animals, and respects them. If Snowball became the leader i think the animals would have developed faster, and have better cooperation.

I'm confused in the way how you put that Snowball is a passionate pig yet you think he is weak?
Don't you know the phrase,
"when there's a will, there's a way." so i suppose that if he WAS truly passionate, then it could have worked out. And Napolean? i agree with you! I toe-dally want to shun Napolean- he is such a... you get the point. ;)
But you think that Napolean is a strong leader? :o Well,,,i suppose "strong leader" isn't all it takes to achieve success and goal since at the end, i see the whole animal farm revolt thing as a FAILURE. They toe-dally didn't stick with the ambition they had in the first place- they were to shun men but instead, they became alike to men. and yes, i love Snowball.
