Animal Farm
Czar Nicholas vs. Mr. Jones The book Animal Farm by George Orwell was written in comparison to the way that the Russian revolution had taken place. The main idea of the book was that the petite bourgeoisie's (the middle class people) were the ones who took advantage of the revolt. The petite bourgeoisie moved up the social tower to be the bourgeoisie (the noble class). The proletariat (peasants) did not want to rebel because they were to worried about what they were going to eat the next day. Mr. Jones the owner and farmer of the Manor Farm from the book Animal Farm symbolizes Czar Nicholas II, leader of Russia during the revolution. Jones represents the old government, the last of the Czar's. Czar Nicholas II was a poor leader at best, irresponsible with his public duties, cruel and at one time Czar Nicholas and Mr. Jones were actually decent leaders of their own affairs. Animal Farm begins describing how Mr. Jones did not really care about his farm. "Mr. Jones, of the Manor Farm, had locked the hen houses for the night, but was too drunk too remember to shut the popholes" (Orwell 3). The chickens could have gotten loose, or a stray animal could have reached the chickens and killed them.
Jones irresponsibility of not feeding the animals, he comes out and whips them for opening the store-shed which stored the animals aliment. The next moment he and his four men were in the store-shed with whips in their hands, lashing out in all directions. Over five hundred were killed and several thousand wounded" (Smith 43). People in Russia were in need of being one and learning to work as one. The strikes did not grab the government's attention do he decided something exorbitant. Jones also left the farm unattended which lead to hardships for the animals; just as Czar Nicholas II left Russia unattended also. Little do they know, history will repeat itself with Napoleon and the pigs. But when the people got there "Papa Czar" as Smith states did not show up (Smith 31). So Jones and the old government are successfully uprooted by the animals. Jones are both poor leaders and irresponsible when it comes to their duties. Some were hurt and some were killed. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits.
