As a result, their life becomes dull, miserable, and very difficult; and is full of cares, miseries and hardships. ii. The Feudal System The life of people in the feudalism period is cruel and brutal for many downtrodden peasants. In reality, the majority of people work in their master's land which originally belongs to them previously. As it mentioned in the Red Rebel , there are two persons who enslave poor people to work in their lands such as Ibn Al-Hatiam and Ibn Al-Haseem, they rape and capture several pieces of lands of poor people by hand. So many farmers and poor peasants are obliged to work in this land to support their families and gain their livings. Most of persecuted farmers and poor people work in those stolen lands in return for little food to be alive only. These oppressed people suffer a lot and see death many times in a day. They work in those lands as slaves and humiliated ones who gain nothing except suffering and misery. The owners of those lands deal with the poor farmers so mercilessly and put heartless rules for those who are lazy ones or work less than others do. iii. Selfishness and Greed of the Ruling Leaders Selfishness and greed are the factors that ignite the soul of hostility for any society to revolt against any leader trying to hold such factors. Selfishness and greed play very important role in sparking any revolution in any society. Evidently, Ibn Al-Hateem and Ibn Al-Haseem are selfish and greedy, so they exploit all means that lead to satisfy their needs, desires and wants as well as to achieve their dreams even if at the cost of others' deeds and efforts. They kick away everybody opposing them in their proposals and projects which aim at increasing their financial properties. Ibn Al-Hateem and Ibn Al-Haseem violently use the power over all needy people by force, for their own benefits. They engage all the mean ways to make the poor people kneel under their feet and do their favors completely. Absolutely, those savage leaders utilize all kinds of ordeal, threats and cruelty to subjugate inferior people to serve under their orders as slaves. However, this matter does not last for a long time; all downtrodden people start to get together, so they rebelled against those tyrannical leaders bravely and gallantly. iv. Violation of Human Rights In Red Rebel , Bakathir comments on the violation of human rights by feudal system. Ibn Al- Hateem is the master and the owner of many lands in Al-Qufa city. He is indulged in welfare and comfort he has the authority upon poor and needy people such as workers and peasants who belong to the low class. As poor people, they have to work for Ibn Al-Hateem in his land and surrender to his feudal system. This feudal system is based on assumption that they have to work day and night without stopping; and whatever they produce goes directly to their master who takes everything and gives them a little that can suspend their livings only until it becomes unbearable life. Then they revolt against their master and his strict system. The leader of this revolution is Hamdan who is the founder of this revolution. They call this revolution the peasants' revolution against feudal system in Al-Qufa. b) The Success of Revolution The success of any revolution is based on some factors that should be followed precisely for the sake of achieving a fruitful revolution. However, Bakathir succeeded in presenting these factors in his masterpiece, " Red Rebel " and these factors are as the following: i. Unity and Cooperation Bakathir is so aware of the strength of unity and cooperation as well as the weakness of separation between the individuals within a society. He states that community is strong as long as its people are united. Once this unity is disrupted, they are at once weakened and are easy to be controlled. This image is portrayed in Red Rebel . Hamdan and many other peasants in Al- Badhaih village suffer a lot from the ruthless and strict role of their master, Ibn Al-Hateem. When Hamdan discovers that his master, Ibn Al-Hateem, is the one who kidnaps his sister, he feels that his honor is lost. He decides to revenge for his honor and dignity and save his sister whose destiny is unknown. He joins Al-Ayrain group asking for their help. They help him on the condition that if he wants their help, he should fight with them against the wealthy people. He agrees to fight with them. Many people join him like peasants, labors and manufactures. The first spark of revolution starts with his impassioned speech in which he says "O' people heed the warnings of the history: divide we lose unite we survive. Finally, they united and achieved a great rebellion. ii. The Secret Plan and Organization The successful revolutions in all over the world start with secret meetings and organization to plan carefully for the success of the revolution by the leaders. This secret movement and plan are embodied in Red Rebel . The success of revolution in this novel belongs to the secret movement and organization of Al-Yarian sect. a few days later, Hamdan becomes the leader of this sect. this movement calls itself (The movement of justice and equality). Therefore, its task is to fight wealthy people under the guise of establishing the equality for both poor and rich people and its motto is that "all people are equal". iii. The Peasants' Revolt against Feudal System In Red Rebel , the peasants rise in revolt and the factor that ignites this revolt is the poll tax imposed by the feudalist power. In addition, there is an element of social revolt against the class distinctions. The peasants become restless because of the underserved supremacy of Ibn Al-Hateem. Peasants are eager to The Concept of Revolution in George Orwell's Animal Farm and Ali Ahmed Bakathir's Red Rebel: A Comparative Study Volume XXII Issue V Version I 106 ( ) Global Journal of Human Social Science - Year 2022 © 2022 Global Journals A
