This is one of the first times that the idea of Napoleon being the leader is proposed.

    George Orwell’s Animal Farm contains a particular character named Napoleon, a fierce-looking Berkshire boar. Napoleon is conniving, a plagiarist and manipulative. At a meeting, when the animals had to make a decision, Orwell showed Napoleon’s first conniving scheme, “Napoleon stood up and, casting a peculiar sidelong look at Snowball, uttered a high-pitched whimper...dashed straight for Snowball, who only sprang from his place just in time to escape their snapping jaws” (Orwell 39). Here the dogs that Napoleon had raised attacked Snowball. It is apparent that Napoleon took these dogs to use them for what he needed, and at this time he needed to get Snowball out of the way.

Throughout the novel, Napoleon has only formed relationships with a finger full of people; including Squealer, his army of mine puppies, and the other pigs.

This quote shoes the lies Squealer tells to cover his comrade and make him look innocent. Ever since Napoleon had stole Jessie's puppies, he used them to become his bodyguards…

    Why did Napoleon's Leadership corrupt ? In the book Animal Farm ,Orwell changes the leaders of the book many times I feel he does this to show how every leader runs the farm in different ways ,but one really stood out to me the way Napoleon did when he was in control and the drastic changes he made to the farm. Napoleon became a leader because of his hard work on the farm, this happened towards the end of the book. All of the drastic changes mostly happen at the end of the book when Napoleon was in charge. When Napoleon became the leader of the farm he wanted everyone to work harder, he also did not make everything equal for all the animals the pigs were given more food.…

    At the beginning, Napoleon quietly raises the dogs up and later makes them completely, absolutely loyal to him. One time when Napoleon had called for an assembly, some animals such as sheep had said an “confession” and as punishment he uses the dogs to execute them. Doing so, Napoleon productively scares the other animals. The animals cannot say anything against Napoleon or face his wrath. “..they had come to a time when no one dared to speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes,” (Orwell 95). This shows that Napoleon maintains power over the animals well because it shows even though the animals want to talk back, “no one dared to speak his mind” since they are so scared. So no matter how much the animals want to go against what Napoleon says, because of the fear and the dogs installed in their minds, they will not. Napoleon shows great success in controlling the animals on the farm by using fear and…

    His motto is "I will work harder " and "Napoleon is always right". However, we could also call him innocent and naïve.

    I say this because the novel Animal farm has many connections to the russian revolution and joseph stalin. Napoleon basically put the other animals into slavery to build whatever he wanted like how Stalin put his people into slavery to build whatever he wanted even if it was completely useless. ”After his hoof had healed up, Boxer worked harder than ever. Indeed, all the animals worked like slaves that year.” This is important because he is working the animals way beyond their breaking point when they did break the animals didn’t know that they could take a…

    In Animal Farm by George Orwell there are two key chapters that can be compared. In chapter two it is the morning after the rebellion and the animals are overjoyed. “They woke at dawn” shows the beginning of a new day, this creates a sense of hope and represents the start of their new life without humans. However in chapter seven it is the night of the slaughters and the reader can see the caparison between the time of day when Orwell says “gilded by the level rays of the sun” This shows the sun is setting on Animals Farm and represents the end of their hopes and dreams. There is also a difference between Orwell’s word choice in both chapters, in chapter two the animals “raced” “rushed” and “hurled” portraying their excitement, enthusiasm and…
