Granja Rebellion, George Orwell’s satirical novel
Rebellion on the farm is a satirical novel written in 1945 by George Orwell during World War II, which was in turn a satire about communist Russia and its authoritarian mode of government, the book is in itself an analysis about corruptionthat may arise following the acquisition of power regardless of what this level is, nor the intentions that may originally have.
Through a satire about communism, Víctor George Orwell through farm animals triesAt some point to see all the people of their country free from the oppressions and being treated with the same social equality and respect that each one deserved, questioning the situation of their country and creating their own doctrine, thus becoming this way the idealistprimal.
Although it also gives an air of similar to Marks to be this one who drives the anti -capitalist ideas of what all of the same society was to do, it was fair and necessary that everyone received the same resources and workloads if the barriers that the economy raisesto society and like the main pig, for death time before the rebellion is already so dreamed.
This resemblance becomes manifest during the first speech that gives animals about their long -awaited dream of independence and what were the barriers that prevented them from carrying it out.
"Man is the only enemy we have. Let’s remove the man from the scene and the fundamental cause of hunger and excess work will disappear forever."
The royalty, nobility and bourgeoisie also are not exemplified through the character of Mr. Jones, being these classes overthrown by the Russian revolution and in the book by the animals that lived in the farm.
Same that were constantly exploited by Mr. ions who enjoyed planning the future of animals’ work without hardly making more effort than keeping them under their yoke.
"Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. It does not give milk, it does not put eggs, it is too weak to pull the plow, it does not run enough quickly to catch rabbits. However, he owns and lord of all animals. It makes them work, it returns the right thing so that they do not starve and the rest keep it for themselves."
The Napoleon pig by serving as an administrator through its control measures to obtain tranquility and their policies to restrict freedoms can be perceived as Stalin’s personification within the fiction of the book. Another argument that supports this theory is that Napoleon gave the order to exile Snowball who would represent Trotsky a military leader who would escape from the farm after being persecuted by Napoleon’s dogs and becoming a taboo when mentioned in thefarm.
Napoleon in my opinion becomes the villain of history because it is this one who feels the advantage it has over the other animals thanks to his intellect and the position that was given to him is the one who begins to make all the mistakes concerning the abuse of power of power of power.
Well, to start it completely breaks teamwork by discardEven when this entails benefits for the goals of the farm.
In the same way, the achievements of the rest of the animals which enters ignorance and the fear to which Napoleon had them through the hounds kept them silent and docile before their abuses of authority, because they did not know how they did not know how they did not know how they did not know how they did not know how they did not know how they did not know how they did not know how they did not know howrespond to being ignorant about conflict resolution.
As the story progresses, this character is increasingto inhabit the old house of Mr. Jones and use and consume what it will be found as clothing smells alcohol that the pigs prohibited at the beginning through the animal commandments.
Snowball Since the beginning of the story is shown as a great leader, being one of the three outstanding pigs on the farm.
This from the beginning demonstrates great leadership capabilities because part of his first concerns is to educate the farm animals to later, already educated to assign to each one a work that adapts to their possibilities.
This character demonstrates a great capacity for imagination and future vision in addition to their eloquence because when they realize that, although they are well distributed for work, they still have some limitations as materials, it manages to devise a way in which they can build or achieve thatthat they need within the farm to not only be more independent if not more effective when working.
Unfortunately, the magnificent leadership work that Snowball performed was discarded when Napoleon detected that I lost authority to him for this same Snowball was branded as a traitor and all his projects were destroyed with that excuse.
Thus being cruelly pursued by the wishes as a criminal without the slightest opportunity for explanation.
Squealer, being Napoleon’s spokesman in front of the other animals of the farm thanks to his rhetorical abilities and the hypocrisy of which this is a creditor is responsible for convincing everyone in the farm of how convenient it is for them every decision that Napoleon takes, being very possible that this is the representation of the propaganda distributed in the times of the Soviet Union.
This character tends to serve with Napoleon’s main right hand because it is not only responsible for transmitting its messages and orders, but this was also involved in the outrages towards Snowball, in addition to the alteration of animal commandments every time this wasconvenient.
Boxer The horse always with the tireless spirit of working more and deceived in that constant way by Napoleon can easily be seen as the working class or the proletariat if preferred
Because this maintains a positive and constant attitude of progress, so it can be seen as the ideal worker which remains active at all times and with interest in contributing to the solution of each conflict situation that could be presentedto the farm bones companions.
The sheep and you see the illiterate animals are the alive the representation of the masses that follow the leader for which simple concepts were devised that could always be kept in their head and repeat itself constantly.
These individuals can be perceived as positive entities when exercising a job, they will always be stagnated in production work or cyclic work because they lack attitudes necessary for any other function, these being able to only follow orders and never having thelonging or intelligence to get something greater.
The Benjamin donkey would be the representation of the intellectual class which manages to anticipate the results of all events and see through Napoleon’s manipulation, however it remains apathetic to change the result of this.
Due to this attitude and intellectual capacity Benjamin may easily be a candidate to lead the rest of the animals on the farm, however, their little interest and low level of motivation makes it constantly pigeonhusted in their activities, without interest in having progressor better results despite having the necessary capabilities to achieve it.
And finally the dogs represent the Stalinist Police. For the purposes of the essay I would like to interpret these characters rather than the classes of workers who usually find themselves at the time to see in a workplace, that these are observed spiritually as the representation of the negative and of those fears that know that I know thatThey can be perceived in labor environments.
For in history it is these who keep it so, threatened with animals, which at some point begin to perform their work is more for fear of a repressing than having a true positive motivation as the newly formulated beginning is the beginning of the rebellion.
And although the book the ways of infusing fear through the hounds were somewhat radical, it is not quite a fantastic scenario, because this can be replicated in any work environment, either by a boss about strict, heavy co -workers orlabor pressures, which are real situations that any worker can face and therefore infuse a fear or at least an apathy towards the work that he must perform constantly.
To this point it is necessary to clarify that the characters of this story must be left well to understand how they develop and to study them in terms of their leadership skills, because the entire mess of the story begins with abad bad exercise of the power by the Lord ions which by funding a bad role of leader neglecting their work and the supervision of workers and animals.
At this point, the large number of characters have been described highlighting their main virtues and defects when they perform either as leaders or as workers.
Thus, we take that the first to falter is Mr. Iones because this was previously known by animals as a capable leader.
However, the influence of his problems achieves that the mood of this declines, so he becomes carefree in the face of his responsibilities, this action has the effect that his subordinates, not feeling the pressure of the boss, decide to lower the work paceneglecting in this way the fields and animals which when feeling bad care decide to start with the rebellion to take the farm under their reins.
“It spent whole days sitting in the kitchen armchair, reading newspapers, drinking and occasionally, feeding Moses Bread bark in beer. His men were lazy and little honest, the fields were full of weeds, the roofs of spoiled buildings, careless hedges and malnourished animals."
The pigs being elected create a regulation which they call animal commandments and whose purpose is healthy coexistence, also implement work plans according to the capacities of each animal.
This regulation establishes the limits of the right thing based on trying behind the old lifestyle they carried with their previous master, Mr. Iones, set aside their customs.
Because between the regulation was the differential between friends and enemies, he does not wear clothes, the prohibition of drinking alcohol, not using the beds and finally mutual respect for each animal to avoid the farm.
Under these maxims the animals began to live and work thanks to it, their organization became full which resulted in that increase their productivity when working.
“During all that summer the work on the farm worked like a clock. The animals had never imagined that they could be so happy ”.
Upon time the pigs began to train in arts necessary for the farm such as the blacksmiths, the carpentry, among others, to later teach them to other farm animals.
Parallel began to insert other programs such as reeducation for wild animals, the chicken egg production committee and reading and writing classes.
Unfortunately after obtaining power by pigs, they begin to rise to power, causing betrayals between them, lack of control between work plans and, therefore, a failure of the system, even starting.to oppress those who supposed had to help.
This from a business point of view is equivalent to a situation in which they have had several supervisors, they fail to agree on the correct way to work and therefore thanks to the different orders, employees are confused about howwork causing a collapse in the system.
At the end of the story it is up to some extent rising because pigs, corrupted by power, begin to walk on two legs, wear clothes and to rub shoulders with those whom they said they hate, humans. Finally, making the rest of the animals open their eyes to such truth, and thus finally returning a new rebellion against their new we use.
“The animals that were outside looked at a pig and then a man, still a man and then still pork and then a man, and could no longer know which one was which was."
Giving as teaching that incorrect administration and misuse of power can become a disaster to know and make the whole team end up falling into a vicious circle.
conclusion
This book despite being a kind of fantasy is easily analyzable both in the historical context and in this case in the exemplification of the use of power, since it is enough to be aware of the necessary skills of a leader and some practice to have a domainbroad about those in charge.
It is also a simple mode through which one can meditate on whether he makes an error when exercising his power over the subordinates he has and how he could correct it and motivate the team for better obtaining results by these in the activities in the activities.
