Animal Farm Beast In Charge
The Beasts in Charge Equality among citizens. Everyone wants to be equal, and that equality has to be possible, right? Wrong. There is no possible way for every being, human or animal, to be equal. There will always be someone or something that will take power and upset the balance of equality, even if it isn't obvious at first.

He later admitted he wanted the windmill, so the only reason he was opposed to the windmill was just to disagree with Snowball. The two pigs hardly agreed on anything, making it difficult for decisions to be made. Napoleon and Snowball had“disagreed at every point where disagreement was possible” (47). They were always dissenting about different issues, not just the ones that were mentioned. It’s difficult for anything to be governed when the two direct commanders are always arguing on how they should
