The altering of the past, silencing opposition and a leader seen as a god is reminiscent to Orwells 1984. In some respects the two books are completely similar in the plot. This seemed to be a children's book as a read the first chapters. As i went on with the story complex ideas of societies structures and over all “brainwashing” of a nation showed it clearly was not that. Here is a quote i immediately thought of (not from the book)
"He who fights with monsters should be careful not to become a monster himself”
I do not believe Napoleon had the image of him as king from the start of the rebellion. As the power took over him and the push of disagreement from Snowball…he realizes he wanted full control. That one sip of absolute power and control after Snowball “left” left him needing it all. Its so easy to fight a war and decide justifiably that fighting fire with fire is necessary. When you make an enemy seem so bad you may not only become him but become worse just like here. Regardless this book is just amazing and was 1984. I would love to write a lengthy review but class calls. There is so many pieces of this book to break down and analyze. If they create this into a live action film which i believe is in the works that would be great.
