Which Character Do You Admire Or Dislike In Animal Farm By George Orwell

Which character do you admire or dislike in Animal Farm by George Orwell?

Boxer, hands down.
I admired his motto, “I will work harder” and his tremendous dedication + loyalty, always in hope of improving animal farm. Though he does trusts the pigs to make all his decisions for him, so he is
rather slow-witted.

I don't care for Squealer, for obvious reasons...
Nothing more than a power-hungry pig who loves
spreading propaganda.

Would Che Guevara have loved George Orwell's "Animal Farm"?

It is highly probable that he read it. Guevara was actually highly critical of the Soviet system.

As Castro moved closer politically and economically to the USSR Guevara sought to distance himself and get back to revolutionary basics.

It was one of the reasons he went to Africa and eventually to his death in Bolivia.

What does each character in Animal Farm represent?

I loved this artwork by Johnathan Chadwick which actually dress some of the character as what they are an allegory for:Mr. Fredrick - Trader, trator, opportunistHitlerOld Major the Pig - Old, Wise, Experienced, DignifiedMarx / LenenSnowball the Pig - Brave leader, loyal to AnimalismLeon / TrotskyNapoleon the Pig - Mean, manipulative, power hungryStalinSquealer the Porker - Two-faced, persuasive, manipulativeThe Russian MediaBoxer the Clivesdale - Hard working, simpleProletariat / Working ClassMister Jones the Famer - Lazy, outdated, uselessRussian CzarBenjamin the Donkey - Loyal, stubbornTime / proofSome more which didn't make his wall:Mollie the Mare (Horse) - Silly, Stupid, Vein, shallowCapitalismVicious Dogs - Loyal to Napolian, ruthlessStalin’s Secret PoliceAnimalism - The Theory created from Old Major’s speechCommunism from MarxMoses the Raven - Sneaky, Dreamer, Sweet-talkerReligionManor Farm - the setting of the storyOld Russia

What did you learn from the book Animal Farm written by George Orwell?

Ramayana and Mahabharata are the epics of India. What makes them so great? The fact that they’ve stood the test of time and are relevant even in the modern times.A person, when he goes through them, can relate to the virtues explained in Ramayana, and with the plethora of characterizations in Mahabharata it makes it an ocean to learn about people and their behaviour.George Orwell’s Animal Farm, is set up as a political satire on the Russian Revolution. You need not understand politics to read this book, but an understanding of the situation back then would only help you admire how well the author has connected each character in the play with some real-world character/group of people. Any keen political observer could relate to it quite well.Communism is the idea that the worker is entitled to the fruits of his work. It is against human exploitation where the worker toils in the fields and the land-owner gets the benefit.The idea showcased in this play goes such that, a group of revolutionary people with the support of the common people overthrow the existing people. They could have been genuine at the beginning but as time passes by the comfort of money changes those very revolutionists.At the end, they still agree THAT ALL PEOPLE ARE EQUAL, IT IS JUST THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE MORE EQUAL.What have I learnt from this? It’s that the ideals of Communism are great, overarching. But, Communism isn’t even a complete system, because, it doesn’t specify how it would achieve the goals. Moreover, you cannot have a perfect GOVERNING SYSTEM, and expect it to work wonders when applied anywhere. Ultimately it is the will of the people to change, to fight back against something wrong.

How are writers able to base characters off of people in real life?

Thanks for the A2A.Her is something that might help you understand.When approached with character development questions, I actually have advised new authors to base their characters off of movie stars or characters that they are familiar with. In today’s trends of movies, our actors have become increasingly homogenized, but there are a few who still stand out with their own personality.Imagine while you are writing, that your character is Christopher Walken. All of a sudden, you know exactly what his body movements will be like. You know what the cadence and rhythm of his speech pattern will be. You know if something sounds like something he would say or not, and how he would say it if he were forced to anyway. You may not know what Christopher Walken is like in real life, but you know his character. Other examples of older actors work as well, if not better, when their on screen personalities seemed to match their personal dispositions pretty closely, such as Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith), or Barney Fife (Don Knotts).The same can be said with fictional characters. You could guess pretty well about Han Solo, Wednesday Addams, Groot, Inigo Montoya, Harry Potter, or anyone (are fictional characters really an anyone? or are they an anything?) you are familiar enough with.Now apply this to your mom. You know how she talks, moves, acts, and how she would respond to finding dog poo on the kitchen floor. And how she would respond to finding dog poo on the kitchen floor on Christmas day. And how she would respond to finding dog poo on the kitchen floor if she was drunk. And how she would respond to finding dog poo on the kitchen floor if she had just had the worst day at work ever.You can apply this to your siblings, your spouse, your neighbor… anyone you know pretty well. And if someone is a real “character” in life, you can extrapolate how they might react.I can’t speak for all writers, of course, but his is how I do it.

What were Aldous Huxley and George Orwell's political beliefs?

I'll attempt to answer this since nobody else has yet, but be warned: I know nothing about politics. You might want to find a website that gives definitions of different political categories and decide where they fit for yourself.

This speech by Aldous Huxley should help you:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/93420/Aldous-Huxley-Propaganda-In-A-Democratic-Society
The views he states here are pro-democracy, fairly liberal, individualist. There are plenty of his essays floating around if you want to read some of them to understand his political views better.

This article/essay states that he was anti-capitalist, but I can't find any evidence that he was pro-socialism. It's a good article, very relevant to your question.

George Orwell's work might seem to be anti-socialist because of the parallels between the popular view of socialism and the book 1984, but he was actually in favour of democratic socialism. The link below is a good start:
http://pubs.socialistreviewindex.org.uk/isj85/chen.htm

If you want to read some of his essays there are quite a few available free here:
http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/o/orwell/george/o79e/
I particularly recommend this one:
http://orwell.ru/library/articles/European_Unity/english/e_teu

Hope that's what you needed, and sorry I couldn't define Huxley's views more precisely. As far as I can tell he was enthusiastically against most political systems but I don't know which ones he favoured, if any.
