Tsar Nicholas is depicted in the novel Animal Farm by Mr. Jones, they have many points in common; both are conservative, they don't see the need for change, they also don't understand that they have lost control and power, and in the end they met the same end: a lonely death. Initially the Tsar was a conservative monarch; he was attached to old and primitive ideas; He was not interested in investing in new technologies. In describing his characteristics, "Nicholas was deeply conservative, a strong supporter of autocracy, and very religious" (Waldron). When the introduction of new technology is proposed in the novel, “The animals had never heard of anything of this kind before (for the farm was old fashioned and had only the most primitive machinery)” (Orwell 35). This shows that the farm has no technology and Jones doesn't care; Showing a strong tendency to be conservative, just like Nicholas. Furthermore, in the 1905 revolution, Nicholas proved himself to be a king who could not accept changes and failed to recognize what the people wanted. That is why he is described as “a determined man who knew his own mind and had a clear sense of where his duty lay. But he was stubborn and very slow to recognize the need for change." (Waldron). When the decisive moment arrived on Animal Farm, “Jones and his men suddenly found themselves kicked and beaten from all sides. The situation was completely out of their control." (Orwell 15). Just like Tsar Nicholas, Jones is incapable of seeing the need for change, right before the rebellion; He treats the situation as he always has, neglecting the needs of the animals. Thirdly, Tsar Nicholas did not want to see that he was losing power, he ruled as an autocrat, even though he was no longer one. In the riot... in the middle of the newspaper... poleon on the windmill, Snowball is forced to flee the farm, never having the chance to return later, as Trotsky is in exile. To conclude, Trotsky and Snowball are very similar, and it is clear that one represents the other; by their destiny, their characteristics and their results. Works Cited Waldron, Peter.
