B. Objective of the Study
The aim of the study is to see one’s personality as seen in Napoleon, the main character of George Orwell’s Animal Farm.
C. Problem Formulation
Considering the objective of the study above, the problems are formulated as follows:
1. How is Napoleon described in the novel?
2. How do Napoleon’s motivations represent his personality?
D. Benefits of the Study
Through Animal Farm, we can learn that actually the greed of human beings is so great whenever shehe has power over the others. Just like in our
beloved country Indonesia, most of our people’s representatives are familiar with the term corruptor and public liar. Many commoners argue that most of the
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
people’s representatives are no more than heartless people who think about nothing but only the prosperity for them and their family, but still the law can not
touch them just like Napoleon in Animal Farm. Through Animal Farm, I hope that the readers will get benefit and wisdom
of life. We all know that the greed of Napoleon the pig and his tyrant reign is not a good example of life. Through the novel, we all know that authority can change
someone’s heart as well as Napoleon whose reign is worse than Jones’. The readers can also learn the characteristic of Boxer, a faithful but foolish horse
whose slogans are “I will work harder” and “Comrade Napoleon is always right”. He was a healthy and very strong horse for his young age. In his old age, without
noticed, Napoleon sends him to the horse slaughterer by telling him that he will be sent to a doctor. The characteristic of Boxer is also not a good example in life.
Besides muscle, we must also strengthen our brain and in present day brain is even more important than muscle. There are a lot of morals that we can find in
Animal Farm that represent our own life. In other words, Animal Farm is a story of human’s life that is illustrated with the animals’ life.
