Sparknotes animal farm chapter 7 and 8

Pay attention to the narrator's assertion that Clover cannot formulate her thoughts. This, the novel suggests, is why Clover and her fellow working class animals aren't able to stand up to Napoleon: they're too tired, overworked, and uneducated to be able to effectively formulate their thoughts and voice their concerns. Because of this, they can, to a degree, recognize that there's hypocrisy and corruption at play--but if they're not able to harness language to talk about it, it's meaningless. A few days after the bloody executions, the animals discover that the commandment reading "No animal shall kill any other animal" now reads: "No animal shall kill any other animal without cause." As with the previous revisions of commandments, the animals blame the apparent change on their faulty memories--they must have forgotten the final two words. The animals work even harder throughout the year to rebuild the windmill. Though they often suffer from hunger and the cold, Squealer reads continuously from a list of statistics proving that conditions remain far superior to anything the animals knew under Mr. Jones and that they only continue to improve. Napoleon has now taken the title of "Leader" and has dozens of other complimentary titles as well. Minimus has written a poem in praise of the Napoleon and inscribed it on the barn wall. A pile of timber lies unused on the farm, left over from the days of Mr. Jones, and Napoleon engages in complicated negotiations for the sale of it to either Mr. Frederick or Mr. Pilkington. When negotiations favor Mr. Frederick, the pigs teach the animals to hate Mr. Pilkington. When Mr. Pilkington then appears ready to buy the timber, the pigs teach the animals to hate Mr. Frederick with equal ferocity. Whichever farm is currently out of favor is said to be the hiding place of Snowball. Following a slew of propaganda against Mr. Frederick (during which Napoleon adopts the maxim "Death to Frederick!"), the animals are shocked to learn that Mr. Frederick eventually comes through as the buyer of the timber. The pigs talk endlessly about Napoleon's cleverness, for, rather than accept a check for the timber, he insists on receiving cash. The five-pound notes are now in his possession. Soon the animals complete the construction of the windmill. But before they can put it to use, Napoleon discovers to his great outrage that the money Mr. Frederick gave him for the timber is simply a stack of forgeries. He warns the animals to prepare for the worst, and, indeed, Mr. Frederick soon attacks Animal Farm with a large group of armed men. The animals cower as Mr. Frederick's men plant dynamite at the base of the windmill and blow the whole structure up. Enraged, the animals attack the men, driving them away, but at a heavy cost: several of the animals are killed, and Boxer sustains a serious injury. The animals are disheartened, but a patriotic flag-raising ceremony cheers them up and restores their faith somewhat. Not long afterward, the pigs discover a crate of whisky in the farmhouse basement. That night, the animals hear singing and revelry from within, followed by the sound of a terrible quarrel. The next morning the pigs look bleary-eyed and sick, and the animals hear whisperings that Comrade Napoleon may be dying. By evening, however, he has recovered. The next night, some of the animals find Squealer near the barn, holding a paintbrush; he has fallen from a ladder leaned up against the spot where the Seven Commandments are painted on the barn. The animals fail to put two and two together, however, and when they discover that the commandment that they recall as stating "No animal shall drink alcohol" actually reads "No animal shall drink alcohol to excess," they once again blame their memories for being faulty. Analysis By this point, Napoleon and Squealer have so systematically perverted the truth that the animals cannot recognize their leaders' duplicity even when they witness it directly. Karl Marx had theorized the need for a "dictatorship of the proletariat" during the early years of his prescribed revolution, under which democratic freedoms would take second place to stamping out resistance in the bourgeoisie. In Soviet Russia, Stalin and his colleagues used Marx's theories as a justification for their increasingly violent and tyrannical actions. Moreover, they used this one Marxist principle to justify their neglect of the other principles. The Stalinist government, for example, quickly altered the noble ideals of equal work and equal compensation in order to favor the politically and militarily powerful. Even when the machinations of the government became clear to everyone in Russia--in the novella we see such a moment when the animals catch Squealer literally rewriting the law on the side of the barn--no significant popular revolt among the working classes ever occurred. Similarly, the animals show no signs of rebellion. Minimus's poem provides compelling evidence for the animals' largely uncritical attitude toward the regime that oppresses it. Though the poem is outrageously inflated and tastelessly sentimental, the animals don't question it; instead, they allow it to speak for them. With the poem, Orwell creates a passage of great irony and a wonderful satire of patriotic rhetoric. Much of the poem's humor arises from its combination of high and low language, exposing the ridiculousness of what it intends to celebrate. Thus, the poem praises Napoleon as "Fountain of happiness!" but also "Lord of the swill-bucket!" While it glorifies life under Napoleon, it emphasizes its simple triviality: "All that [his] creatures love" amounts to a "full belly" and "clean straw." This stylistic use of contrast helps render the poem's tone of utter devotion ("Oh how my soul is on / Fire") a mockery of itself. At the same time, of course, the poem parodies actual anthems and patriotic odes. Orwell aims to expose the inanity of such patriotic sentiment, and also its emptiness, if not its misdirection. He suggests that such rhetoric fails to examine the essence of that which it praises. Further Study Chapter 7 Quiz Welcome to the latest (and darkest) installment of blogging Animal Farm. You can catch up on Chapters 1-4 right here! Previously, on Animal Farm: Snowball gets voted off the island, Napoleon is being super sketch, and the windmill falls down. Chapter 7 I'm gonna be honest: this recap is not for the faint of heart; unless, deep in your heart, you like slaughter and fascism. Okay, let's go! "It was a bitter winter." That's how this barrel of laughs starts out. The animals start rebuilding the windmill, this time with thicker walls, even though it was definitely Snowball's fault that it fell down in the first place and not bad walls. The food supply is very low. They're eating chaff, pocket lint, and those weird powdery nuts that everybody leaves behind in trail mix. The working class--I mean, the animals--are starving, so the pigs announce that the hens will have to sell their eggs. The hens say: "....Nah." I mean, that was a big part of why they overthrew the humans! The pigs stop giving the hens rations. After five days, the poor hens give in--but nine of them have died. Meanwhile, the pigs tell everybody that Snowball has been sneaking onto the farm in the dead of night, breaking tools, stealing corn, spray painting `U SUK' on the barn wall, etc. The cows even say that "Snowball crept into their stalls and milked them in their sleep," which, if you have ever been milked in your sleep, then you know that that is bad. Everything is Snowball's fault. Ev-er-y-thing. The pigs #mansplain Snowball to the others: Squealer: Actually, Snowball has been in league with Farmer Jones all along. He tried to make us lose the Battle of the Cowshed. He's not a hero. That's a common misconception. Animals: So, you're saying that even though we remember Snowball bravely leading the charge, in fact, Snowball tried to make us lose the battle, and Napoleon is the one who saved the day? But our brains are too small to remember? Squealer: Correct. Animals: Okay. It's a bit confusing, but if Napoleon says it, then it must be true. Besides, he has all those scary dogs--and humans? They are just the worst. via GIPHY Image credit: Deedle-Dee Productions A few days later, Napoleon assembles everybody in the barn. He announces that there are traitors among them--and pulls up four of the little pigs. The pigs, trembling, immediately confess to conspiring with Snowball, and the dogs rip their throats out. "Anybody else?" asks Snowball. More animals come up to confess--some hens, a goose, sheep, etc.--and each gets its throat ripped out. By the end, it looks like the stage after my last performance at the high school talent show: littered with corpses, the smell of blood hangs in the air, and everyone is terrified and weirdly ashamed. The animals slink out. They go up the hill all cuddle together, thinking and listening to Bon Iver's saddest hits. Boxer figures the solution is, like usual, to work harder. Clover, in her brain, is like, "This is not what we dreamed of. We longed for a society of equals, each working according to his capacity, without hunger, violence or enslavement. We didn't toil in order to be controlled by an oligarchy and watch our comrades be mercilessly torn to pieces." Out loud, she sings "Beasts of England"--but it ain't jaunty no mo'. All the animals sing the saddest karaoke ever. They sing the karaoke of the college freshman who has drank a bag of wine after getting dumped via text. Mournful. But as they sing, Squealer comes up and tells them that this song is banned. What? Why?! They were just getting to the chorus (again)! Squealer says that this song was for the anti-human revolution, but the revolution is finished, so they have a new song instead. The new song, however, is not as fun as `Beasts of England.' The remix sucks. Chapter 8 The animals get back on windmill-buildin' duty. This is very hard, because it's cold AF and all the Lunchables have expired so they're hungry. Still, Squealer often reads them a list of statistics that show that there is more food than ever, and everybody is happy, actually, ya dumb idiots. Meanwhile, didn't one of the commandments say that you can't kill another animal? They go to check and find that it says "No animal shall kill any other animal without cause." Once again, they blame their own faulty memories. Because Napoleon is great, he's the best! There's even a poem for him now, calling him incredible titles like: "Lord of the swill-bucket!" Now, to get ???, Napoleon is trying to sell some timber. He's going back and forth between the two farmers, Pilkington and Frederick. Whoever he's not about to sell to is a traitor and evil-doer--but that keeps changing. Some days it's Frederick. Some days it's Pilkington. At last, right when the animals finish the windmill-- hooray!--Napoleon announces that they will sell the wood to Frederick. They sell the wood, but, disaster: turns out Frederick gave the pigs forged bank notes. Napoleon is furious, and declares that they must prepare for an attack--and soon enough, it comes. The humans charge the farm, armed to the teeth. The animals try to fight them off, but they're outgunned. The humans go to the windmill and literally blow it up into tiny bits, to the horror of the animals. Once it's blown up, the animals charge the humans and finally fight them off--but some animals get killed, and Boxer is hurt pretty badly. Everyone feels terrible, until the pigs convince them that this is actually a victory. Hmmmm but is it though? #StayWoke One night later on, the pigs find whiskey in the basement and, ahem, get turnt. They are lit like Irishmen on St. Paddy's. The next day, looking pukey, Squealer announces that Napoleon is dying! Napoleon is dying, and if you bring alcohol anywhere near him he'll kill you. Everyone freaks out and is super sad, but by the next day he's okay again. Shocking. via GIPHY Image credit: Paramount Pictures Lastly, a funny thing happens: one night they hear a crash, and they all rush out to find Squealer by the wall of the commandments, with a broken ladder, a bucket of paint, and a paintbrush. Buhhh?! What could this mean?! Nobody knows, but the next day they see that one of the rules about alcohol is different from what they remember. Funny how that keeps happening, hmm? Well, it's probably fine.
