How could you argue that the character of Napoleon compares
to Adolph Hitler? Think about the fact that while he came to power across
Europe many people ignored the warning signs.
How does that compare to the animals on the farm? How & why did the animals
ignore the negative signs with Napoleon?
I feel Napoleon is like Adolph Hitler because they are dictators and try to rule people to get what they want. At first the people/animals thought he was doing good for the country but they ended up making things worse. People noticed that he was starting to mess up but didn’t say anything because they were scared of what would happen to them and their families. For example “He was an awful man but people followed him. People followed him because he was a strong extremist patriot, and this is what Germany thought they needed. They thought that Germany was going to fail under the Weirmar republic and they needed a strong dictator to get them back on their feet. People were also afraid of him, as they knew what he and the Nazi party could do to them.”(Answer.com, Why did people follow Adolf Hitler?) “He promised to solve their problem. The league of nations had imposed such overwhelming sanctions against Germany following WWI that the German people were already suffering financially at the beginning of the Great Depression, then things got worse. Hitler promised to make things better, found a group of people on whom he could blame all of the problems (the Jews) and told everyone that he was locking them up for the good of the nation. He didn't say much about the Holocaust, and while there were rumors, the German people didn't want to believe because things were getting better.” (Answer.com, Why did people follow Adolf Hitler?)
In the story Napoleon did some what the same, he said he would do better for the farm and make life better but he ended up just using the animals for his use and blamed Snowball for the problems the farm was going through and ran him off. He also had the dogs to guard him and if any one asked questions about him and his choices he would make him dogs attack who ever was asking questions or refusing what they were told to do.
