Animal Farm Fever Chart

Men Are Enemies, Animals Are Friends:

Old Major shares his dream of all the animals living together without the being controllled or opressed by humans. The animals must work together to get the farmer to leave his land and never come back.

Pg 3 - “That is my message to you, comrades: Rebellion! I do not know when that rebellion will come, it might be in a week or in a hundred years, but I know, as surely as I see this straw beneath my feet, that sooner or later justice will be done.”

Pg 6 - “All men are enemies. All animals are comrades.”

Pg 6 - “And above all, no animal must ever tyrannise over his own kind. Weak or strong, clever or simple, we are all brothers. No animals must ever kill any other animal. All animals are equal.”

They Start Off As Equals

All Animals Start Off As Equals

Pg 7 - “Soon or late the day is coming, tyrant man shall be o’erthrown, and the fruitful fields of England shall be trod by beasts alone.”

The Animals Successfully Take Over The Farm

Pg 12 - “The animals had chased Jones and his men onto the road and slammed the five-barred gate behind them. And so, almost before they knew what was happening, the rebellion had been successfully carried through; Jones was expelled, and the manor farm was theirs.”

Pg 15 - “Then snowball took a brush between the two knuckles of his trotter, painted out manor farm from the top bar of the gate and in its place painted Animal Farm. This was to be the name of the farm from now onwards.”

The Pigs Start To Take Over:

The pigs started to make the decisons around the farm for every animal.

Pg 17 - “The pigs did not actually work, but directed and supervised the others. With their superior knowledge it was natural that they should assume the leadership.”

Pg 20 - “The pigs had set aside the harness room as a headquarters for themselves.”

Pg 23 - “We pigs are brain workers. The whole management and organization of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for YOUR sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples.”

The Pigs Beginning to Gain More Power:

The pigs continue to become more similar to their previous oppressors.

Pg 37 - “Bravery is not enough, said squealer. Loyalty and obedience are more important.”

Pg 46 - “You did not suppose, surely, that there was ever a ruling against beds? A bed merely means a place to sleep in. A pile of straw in a stall is a bed, properly regarded. The rule was against sheets, which are a human invention. We have removed the sheets from the farmhouse beds, and sleep between blankets.”

Pg 46 - “Some days afterwards, it was announced that from now on the pigs would get up an hour later in the mornings than the other animals, no complaint was made about that either.”

The Authority of The Pigs Begins to Get Out of Control:

Pg 57 - “And so the tale of confessions and executions went on, until there was a pile of corpses lying before Napoleon’s feet and the air was heavy with the smell of blood, which had been unknown there since the expulsion of Jones.”

The Pig's Go Against The Rule "That No Animal Shall kill Any Other Animal."

Pg 62 - “Napoleon was now never spoken of simply as Napoleon. He was always referred to in formal style as our leader, Comrade Napoleon, and the pigs liked to invent for him such titles as father of all animals, terror of mankind, protector of the sheep fold, ducklings friend, and the like.”

Pg 76 - “About this time, too, it was laid down as a rule that when a pig and any other animal met on the path, the other animals must stand aside: and also that all pigs, of whatever degree, were to have the privilege of wearing green ribbons on their tails on Sundays.”

The Pigs Take on Human Characteristics:

The pigs began to sleep in beds, drink whisky, trade with farmers, walk upright, and started to wear clothes.

Pg 89 - “Startled, the animals stopped in their tracks. It was clovers voice. She neighed again, and all the animals broke into a gallop and rushed into the yard. Then they saw what clover had seen. It was a pig walking on his hind legs.”

Pg 89 - “And finally there was a tremendous baying of dogs and a shrill crowing from the black cockerel, and out came Napoleon himself, majestically upright, casting haughty glances from side to side, and with his dogs gamboling round him. He carried a whip in his trotter.”

Pg 89 - “But just at that moment, as though at a signal, all the sheep burst out into a tremendous bleating of - four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better!”

No Difference Could Be Found From Man to Pig:

You could no longer tell the pigs apart from the human beings

Pg 90 - “After that it did not seem strange when next day the pigs who were supervising the work of the farm all carried whips in their trotters. It did not seem strange when Napoleon was seen strolling in the farmhouse garden with a pipe in his mouth - no, not even when the pigs took Mr. Jones clothes out of the wardrobes and put them on.”

Pg 91 - “They worked diligently, hardly raising their faces from the ground, and not knowing whether to be more frightened of the pigs or of the human visitors.”

Pg 95 - “Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

The pigs had become similar to their old oppressors.
