Power provides an opportunity for a person to be whatever they want most naturally. It is the removal of force on behavior that corrupts the people who attain it. In Animal Farm, by George Orwell, there is a group of animals that have power but they do not use it to gain any benefits for themselves, but in that case, also, the power definitely authorized in, then, whether they use it or not. The ability to influence the behavior is the most essential way to demand it. Napoleon’s way of speaking is more effective in communicating with the "lower" animals than Major's way of speaking because fear is more affective than positive encouragement.
An assertive characteristic influences others effectively. Napoleon, a pig:
"Is a larger, rather fierce-looking Berkshire bear, the only Berkshire on the farm, not much of talker, but with a reputation for getting his own way," (35)
This implies that appearances and reputations build an influential character to the animals on the farm. The reputation demonstrates, because he is not much of a talker, he has other ways "for getting his own ways" which may be disheartening. And because everyone knows has standings, the animals become frightened and silently listens to Napoleon’s commands for his satisfaction. The feeds the demanding characteristic influences an audience successfully. Another example that proves the anticipation to be considerable is when Napoleon states,
"'Never mind the milk comrades?' cried Napoleon placing himself in front of the buckets. That will be attended to harvest. 'The harvest is more important',"(44).
This suggests that because Napoleons language is absolute, the animals are not able to reply or gain any rights. This identifies his effective communicating skills with the "lower"animals are cogent for getting the job done. Tone and language are essential values to gain power.
Although people may assume positive encouragement is an effective ay to influence an audience, it is not. For instance, Major is a pig that cares about other animals and completely understands the difficulty in the community. Major says:
"And remember also that in fighting against man, we must come resemble him," (27)
This indicates that the flow and clam tone Major shows that he believes the animals can work together and build a stronger farm. This encourages the generalization that the "lower" animals, because of Majors psychological support, assume he will be there through thick and thin. And because Major passes away, the thoughts of making the farm an animal only territory are not communicated anymore. This feeds the stereotype that thought-provoking communication will only build-up the strength psychotically, but not physically. Another example supporting these interpretations of Majors limited effectiveness is when he states:
"The soul of England is fertile, its climate is good, it is capable of affording food in abundance to an enormously greater number of animals that do no inhabit it," (28).
This demonstrates that Major knows his community can become stronger and profitable because of the resources available to them. But, Major does not actually give a plan for the "lower" animals to follow. He just gives inspirational strength. This emphasizes that the intensified communication is competent.
Napoleons communication towards the “lower” ammonals was threatening, which made the animals respect his demands and do the job. Authority gains the rights to influence and necessitate the official policy that cab serve well. All in all, power provides the opportunity for a person (or a pig) to be whatever they are most naturally.
