`How  is  Language  used  to  present  Macbeth  and  Napoleon  as  
Villains?  
 

When  both  Macbeth  and  Napoleon  are  in  power  they  use  persuasive  language  for  
the   same   motive:   to   persuade   and   therefore   ultimately   control   the   other  
characters
...
  In   Animal   Farm   Napoleon   uses   persuasion   through   propaganda,  
which   is   conducted   by   a   pig   named   Squealer
...
 The  use  of  the  verb  “sprang”  makes  Napoleon  out  
that  he  had  no  fear  when  it  came  to  attacking  human,  therefore  persuading  the  
other  animals  that  he  is  a  tremendous  warrior  when  he  isn’t
...
   
 
Similarly   Macbeth   uses   persuasive   language   to   persuade   the   murderers   to   kill  
Banquo   and   Fleance
...
 Macbeth  uses  emotive  language  and  plays  on  the  murderers  
emotions  to  persuade  them  to  kill  Banquo
...
  As   Macbeth   doesn’t   mention  
Banquo’s  name  and  refers  to  him  as  “he”  it  shows  that  Banquo  is  unworthy  of  the  
King   mentioning   his   name
...
   
 
To  compare  both  Napoleon  and  Macbeth  are  convincing  others  but  Napoleon  is  
trying   to   convince   the   other   characters   that   he   is   superior   whereas   Macbeth   is  
convincing  people  to  do  he  deeds
...
  Macbeth   is   paranoid   about   being   killed   especially   by  
Banquo
...
 In  contrast  Napoleon  is  paranoid  about  Snowball  
having   more   power   than   him   and   his   return
...
   

 

Orwell  and  Shakespeare  use  violent  and  negative  language  to  present  Napoleon  
and   Macbeth   as   villains
...
 In  Macbeth  negative  and  violent  language  
is  used  to  show  that  Macbeth  has  become  a  tyrant
...
 /Of  
horrid   hell   can   come   a   devil   more   damn’d
...
  By  
personifying   the   country   it   makes   Scotland   sound   more   vulnerable
...
    Comparing  
Macbeth  to  a  devil  means  that  Macbeth  is  as  evil  as  can  be  which  creates  irony
...
   
 
In   Animal   Farm   violent   and   negative   language   is   used   when   some   of   the   farm  
animals   are   being   slaughtered
...
”  As  the  executions  went  on  it  shows  
that   Napoleon   has   no   trouble   in   taking   other   animals   lives
...
  Air   is   usually   light   so   the   heavy   air   is   very  
contrasting   compared   to   usual   creating   an   unnervey   and   negative   atmosphere
...
   
 
To  compare  Napoleon  and  Macbeth  both  have  done  violent  acts  and  spilt  blood  
in  both  cases  it  is  because  they  have  gone  crazy  with  power  and  this  has  resulted  
in   unneeded   violence   and   killing
...
