Question

In chapter 2, the animals overthrow Mr. Jones. Who do you think Mr. Jones represents historically), from what you know about the Russian revolution. ​

Answer 1

Mr. Jones in 'Animal Farm' represents Czar Nicholas II, who was overthrown in the 1917 Russian Revolution, leading to Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks establishing a communist state in Russia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Jones, from the novel 'Animal Farm,' historically represents Czar Nicholas II during the Russian Revolution. The novel is an allegory, with the events on the farm paralleling those of the revolution. The overthrow of Mr. Jones by the animals signifies the 1917 revolution where Czar Nicholas II was forced to abdicate his throne, eventually leading to his execution. Under his rule, Russia faced immense struggles such as defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, the Bloody Sunday massacre, and the inadequate handling of World War I, which all contributed to his downfall. The chaos following his abdication allowed the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, to seize power and establish a communist state, reflecting the animals' initial establishment of an equal society.

Answer 2

Tsar Nicholas II.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Animal Farm" by George Orwell is an allegorical novel about the Russian revolution. The novel revolves around the story of how a group of farm animals rebelled against their human masters to create a 'government' of their own, just to end in a disastrous fight for power amongst themselves.

Mr. Jones was the owner of Manor Farm, a drunk farmer often indulging in his own interests rather than caring for his animals. He is an allegorical representation of Tsar Nicholas II who was ousted from power. Likewise, Mr. Jones was also 'removed' from his power as the master of the animals.
