Napoleon
Napoleon is one of the most important character in the story. Napoleon was a “large, rather fierce looking boar”, who was not of much a talker. But he had a reputation for “getting his own way”, and this reflects the qualities of a dictator. Napoleon’s method of “getting his own way” involves a combination of propaganda and terror that none of the animals can resist.
He is sly because as soon as Jessie’s and Bluebell’s puppies were born, he had taken them to train them since young age itself. He did so as he had already predicted that he would use them to intimidate the animals in the future.
He is a great liar as he had somehow persuaded Jessie and Bluebell that their puppies would be educated, but instead he was going to make of them his “bodyguards.” Furthermore, he had opposed Snowball, who had the plan of building a windmill for the welfare of the animals. But soon after Snowball’s expulsion from the farm, Napoleon persuaded the gullible animals that these plans belonged none other than to him and that Snowball had stolen them.
He was really cruel as he had executed the innocent animals, who were compelled to admit crimes that they had not even committed. Also he had sent Boxer to the knacker to be slaughtered, knowing the fact that the horse’s motto stated that: “I will work harder; Comrade Napoleon is always right.”
He was also very cunning as he was using Snowball as a scapegoat for every mishaps on the farm. Selfish and arrogant by nature, he made the animals’ lives a misery by making them work and work, while he does nothing other than enjoying a peaceful life.
He was really greedy as when Frederick has proposed him a better price for the sale of timber, he had promptly accepted. This action of his resulted in a great loss due to the fake bank-notes. Moreover, he had sent Boxer to the knacker in exchange of money. Throughout the novel, almost all the commandments were baffled by him, and finally Napoleon is sleeping in Jones' bed, eating
