Animal Farm and Lord of the Flies, despite their different themes and plots, show the same meanings. Orwell's story is about a backyard dictator and the harsh conditions that the animals living on the farm live in. It's similar to a life-or-death situation for a group of kids, who have to govern themselves, presented in Lord of the Flies. These books have similar themes. Both focus on government and how people put in power control the outcome of their followers. They demonstrate that our world is controlled by people who have the physical and mental strength to do whatever it takes to get what they want. These people have instincts that bring them closer to a safer life. The leader of the animals in Animal Farm is Napoleon, a pig. He doesn't start out as their leader, but takes over when the original leader, Old Major, is killed. Napoleon believed that other animals were just pawns. An example of Napoleon's harsh rule is a scene, after Snowball's death, in which Napoleon calls a meeting and begins to declare the crimes committed by the animals. He then has the animals slaughtered on the spot. “And so the story of confessions and massacres continued until there was a pile of corpses lying before Napoleon's feet and the air was heavy with the smell of blood.” This quote shows how truly cruel and power hungry Napoleon was. In Lord of the Flies, the leader, Ralph, is a much more relaxed person. Although he has the intentions of a villain in the story. His means of being evil are subtle and sometimes even accidental. For example, in one scene, a ship passes by the island, but Jack has let the fire go out. Ralph continues to disrespect Jack in front of the rest of the crew by saying, "I was the boss; and you were... middle of paper... all in an environment that they are not only unaccustomed to, but unsafe Due to the nature of their difficult situation, this made the lost boys even more dangerous to themselves. Once all the boys adapted to their new environment, they were severely hardened mentally and physically conclusion, I concluded that the two books have great similarities but also great differences. Animal Farm is a typical representation of human behavior. But Orwell describes it as a fairy tale using characters that are animals the Flies, however, uses the behavior of boys to show the possible terror and violence that humans are capable of inflicting. In short, both books describe similar theories that humans are naturally deceitful and selfish people who cannot contain their primitive impulses..
