You Always Want More
The definition of Utopia is "no place." A Utopia is an ideal society in which the social, political, and economic evils afflicting human kind have been wiped out. This is one of the main ideas displayed in most communist governments. In the novel, Animal Farm, by George Orwell Old Major's ideas of a Utopia are changed because of Napoleon's bad leadership.Old Major explains his dreams and ideas to all the animals before he dies. At his speech all the animals go to hear what Old Major has to say. This happens on the night that Mr. Jones comes home drunk. Old Major explains his ideas to all the animals, "Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plow, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals." (p.19) This speech gets all the animals riled up and sends the toughts of getting rid of man. Old Major then teaches them the song the Beasts of England which teaches them the "great" life without man and with no more bad leaders,Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,
57) This scene shows Napoleon is a tyrant and wants all the power to himself and that he has been sneaky. Three days later Old Major dies so Snowball and Napoleon take over but Napoleon wants all the power. Orwell shows Old Major ideas of a Utopia vanish by having Napoleon emerge as a tyrant leader and shows that he is power hungry from the start. This foreshadows some of his later actions. The animals start to see there "perfect" world disappear. As the years pass by there are more incidents that prove, Napoleon wants to have more power. The animals are extremely confused because Muriel is the only one who can read, so know one can remember the original Commandments. Throughout the story Napoleon starts to change his own regulations so he and the other pigs can have more comfort. Napoleon has trained nine mean attack dogs for his protection and other purposes. Does it not say something about never sleeping in a bed?' With some difficulty Muriel spelt it out.
