Minor Parallels between the two.

Trust Problems
 * Nicholas trusted few people because they had different ideals than him.
 * Mr Jones also trusted few people because the other farmers still are his competition and his workers cant be trusted. "His men ﻿were idle and dishonest".

Drinking Problems
 * It was said Nicholas "Could drink and carry on like the most hedonistic of his fellow officers".
 * Mr Jones also is a heavy drinker.On many occasions he ends up drunk in the the novel. "For whole days at a time he would lounge in his Windsor chair in the kitchen, reading the newspapers, drinking, and occasionally feeding Moses on crusts of bread soaked in beer".

Major Parallels between the two.

Stubbornness Uncaring for Others and is A loner Removed From Power

 * Mr Jones also doesn't not change his methods of farming despite the animals are growing rebellious.
 * Nicholas II was always by himself so he never cared how people lived and didn't understand others that well.
 * Mr Jones also stays to himself and doesn't care about how the animals are living.
 * Nicholas was forced to step down in Russia.
 * Mr Jones also was removed from having control over the farm.
