is the owner of the land, who is overthrown by the peasants at the beginning of the revolution. Moreover, Mr. Jones and Ibn Al-Hateem can symbolize corrupt fatally- followed governments that creates societies ripe for revolution. Both Ibn Al-Hateem and Mr. Jones are harsh, cruel and irresponsible to their subjects. Mr. Jones, for example, used to bate the animals with whip and to slaughter them at his discretion. In the same way, Ibn Al-Hateem is ruthless and irresponsible to the labors of their works. However, Mr. Jones is not so extravagant and had no servants. But Ibn Al-Hateem is so extravagant and is indulged with his bondswomen in his different places. h) Old Major and Hamdan Old Major and Hamdan are the main characters in these novels. They are of great similarity in their speeches, actions and roles of the revolution. Looking back at the main actions and traits of these characters discussed in part two, we can see that they have a great role in raising the revolution as they devoted their lives for the betterment of their societies. They similarly believe in others' rights of free speech and holding secret meetings. Moreover, Old Major is the founder of the revolution and animalism who believes in the equality of all animals. Similarly, Hamdan is the one who lights the first spark of revolution and brings the notion of communism under the guise of establishing the comprehensive justice. i) Revolution Anthem Both novels have revolutionary anthems, which have democratic dimensions and purposes. In Animal Farm , Old Major calls the animals on the farm for a meeting. Then he compares the humans to parasites and teaches the animals a revolutionary song (a revolution anthem), "Beasts of England." Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland, Beasts of every and clime, Hearken to my joyful tidings Of the golden future time. Soon or late the day is coming, Tyrant man shall be o'erth rown, And the fruitful field of England Shall be trod by beasts alone. Singing of song threw the animals into the wildest excitement and created a state of self-pride and patriotism. Similarly, in Red Rebel , the revolution anthem is: We are the callers for the Majesty From east to Outomah The land belongs to us, not to the oppressors Woe unto them ! in the battle field V. C onclusion This part is intended to highlight and summarize main points of similarities and dissimilarities investigated and discussed in the preceding parts. Having examined and compared the portrayal of the concept of revolution in Animal Farm and Red Rebel, the whole novels are direct exposure of the communist and socialist regimes. Revolution in both Animal Farm and Red Rebel comes as result of oppression, the absence of freedom justice which are dominating images of the totalitarian regimes. These cruel and ruthless acts can be seen in the acts of Mr. Jones in Animal Farm and the deeds of Ibn Al-Hateem in Red Rebel . Both Mr. Jones and Ibn Al- Hateem used oppression, violence and terror as a means of control. However, there is a slight difference in the factors of revolution in the two novels. In Animal Farm , for example, Old Major teaches and incites the animals to take revenge from their master who steals their products. On the contrary, in Red Rebel , Hamdan's revolt against his master is to take revenge for his sister who is captured by Ibn Al-Hateem and against the maltreatment of the rulers as in Animal Farm . The success of revolution in both novels is due to some similar factors like unity, cooperation, secret meeting, planning and being worldly-wise leaders. Moreover, animals in Animal Farm and the people in Red Rebel suffer a lot from oppression and maltreatment. However, revolution in both novels is deteriorated due to the existence of wrong concepts that could deteriorate and destroy any revolution or unity and these wrong and corrupted concepts are seen in the existence of false communism, selfishness, and greed. Communism appears in both novels as a devil and, in fact, it the devil itself that can corrupt weak believers of people. Despite the main theme in Animal Farm and Red Rebel, (the corrupted ideals of communism and socialism) both novels have been proved political stories, namely, about revolution against totalitarian regimes and corrupted leaders with many similar features of both systems. Through comparison, both novels emphasized to a great extent many similar features and objects in the concept of revolution. In Animal Farm , the idealistic revolutionary leader is represented by Old Major (the founder of revolution who lights the first spark of revolution), Mr. Jones (the owner of the farm and irresponsible to his animals), Animalism, Beasts of England (revolution anthem). Similarly, in Red Rebel , the intellectual vision that leads to revolution is represented by Hamdan (the owner of the land), Ibn Al-Hateem is quite similar to Mr. Jones (the owner of the land). Another point is that both novels have revolutionary anthems. Animalism in Animal Farm is faced by Communism in Red Rebel .
