Both Shakespeare and Orwell present challengers as menaces to their leaders’ power. Shakespeare introduces this menace through the Witches in Act 1. scene 3 when the 3rd enchantress announces that Banquo ‘shall acquire kings’ . In Macbeth’s monologue in Act 3. scene 2. the audience is reminded that he is predisposed with keeping his power. now that he has become male monarch. and illustrates that Banquo was announced as a ‘father to a line of kings’ . The audience assumes that Macbeth is sterile as he feels he is unable to bring forth an inheritor as he expresses his ‘fruitless crown’ and his ‘barren sceptre’ and seems rather incensed that Banquo’s will gain from ‘the gracious Duncan’ that he has murdered. It appears that Shakespeare is warranting Macbeth’s ruthless aspiration and want to keep power. which puts Macbeth into darker deepnesss by holding Banquo and Fleance murdered. by his deficiency of an inheritor.
Similarly. the audience is provided by Snowball as the rival to Napoleon’s absolute power in his debut to the character in Chapter 2. Orwell tells the reader he ‘was a more vibrant hog than Napoleon’ . puting him up instantly in competition His description goes on to depict him as ‘quicker in address and more imaginative ‘ . This is proven when he emerges subsequently in Chapter 4 as the brave hero of the Battle of the Cowshed after which we see him awarded with the military ornament of ‘Animal Hero First Class’ while the reader realizes Napoleon seems to be conspicuous in his absence. Furthermore. Snowball invents programs for the windmill and Orwell outlines all his originative thoughts in his commissions and hence Napoleon clearly makes programs to throw out him from the farm.
The cardinal difference between Shakespeare and Orwell’s presentations is that we witness Macbeth’s idea procedures and programs while Orwell keeps the reader in the dark yet offers them hints that Napoleon is non to be trusted. It comes as no surprise to the reader in Chapter 5 when Napoleon unleashes his personally educated Canis familiariss. who represent Stalin’s secret constabulary. on Snowball. Both leaders maintain power by eliminating any competition.

Comparisons between characters:
Lady Macbeth. Macbeth and Napoleon all use others to farther themselves. Lady Macbeth takes advantage over Macbeth by carrying him to kill Duncan so she can hold more power. Napoleon uses Squealer to take advantage of the other animate beings by doing them their slaves and being made to believe all Napoleon’s determinations are best for the farm. Both Napoleon and Macbeth become power hungry which turns into a negative consequence. both use force to derive power by put ining fright into people Macbeth’s hungriness for power causes him to slay many guiltless people and finally leads to him downfall. Napoleon’s hungriness for power causes him to utilize inordinate force and do the animate beings do break one’s back labour. -both Napoleon and Macbeth represent Stalin
Differences:
One is a drama. one is a novel
M written in 1606 when James 1 was in power in England ( birth of the Stuart government ) AF was published in August 1945 after the Russian Revolution of 1917 + predicted the Cold War.
Throughout both ‘Macbeth’ and ‘Animal Farm’ the audience can see a big sum of fraudulence. perfidy and a deficiency of trust between the leaders’ and their followings. Shakspere shows this fraudulence in Macbeth’s relationship with other characters where he hides his true feelings and ‘is here in dual trust’ . However. the audience is privy to the true ideas of Macbeth and his married woman due to their plotting in Act 1. scene 5 where Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth to ‘look like th’innocent flower/ But be the serpent under’t’ and which creates dramatic sarcasm during the drama. Similarly. Orwell’s novelette ‘Animal Farm’ uses dramatic sarcasm as the audience can see that the hogs are pull stringsing the animate beings into slave labour and although the audience is non made toilet to Napoleon’s innermost ideas. we can still see past the animals’ deficiency of intelligence to see the hogs are re-writing the 7 Commandments.
