    He fights the humans in battle against the humans and commands them successfully. This quality makes him most suitable because he is fighting for the animals to overpower the humans. His inventiveness allows for the society of animals to prosper over the humans; the inventions allow them to build their society up. He reads and learns to make Animal Farm better, while trying to educate the other animals too. Overall, Snowball is more involved with the animals and doesn’t want to have more power than them. Napoleon on the other hand, is more of a dictator and is more concerned for himself. For example, when he overlooks the commandments for himself. He takes Snowball’s ideas and claims they are his. Also, Napoleon acts much more immature than Snowball. For instance, “then suddenly he lifted his leg, urinated over the plans, and walked out without uttering a word.” He doesn’t handle disputes maturely and his actions show this. Also, he blames Snowball for the destruction of the windmill, even though it was the storm. Snowball is the obvious candidate to govern Animal Farm and is best for protecting all the animals that reside there. Napoleon seems to be covering the farm from animalism to communism. All of the animals of Animal Farm should rally together and say, “Snowball for everyone, Napoleon for…

    In the novel, Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, where there is one specific character, Napoleon, who took a role in this book whom was a natural leader for the sake and future for Animal Farm. Napoleon is a pig who takes upon leadership for all animals, makes roles and differences as before Mr. Jones or Snowball lead the farm, but also acts as if he was a dictator. From these facts about Napoleon, it shows how animal farm will be under circumstances of his actions and his temperament that the farm will face. Napoleon is known as the antagonist in the story, and as for the quote ‘’Napoleon took no interest in Snowball’s committees’’ (Orwell 34). In this quote, it shows Napoleon’s perspective against other leader(s) which he had no interest…

    The animals have heard so much about Snowball, they started making things up to be on Napoleon’s side. Things get worse when Snowball was accused of being a secret agent, “Snowball was in league with Jones from the very start! He was Jones’ secret agent, all the time” (57). Just when you think Snowball couldn’t get blamed for anything else he gets accused of being a traitor. Everyone in the farm hates him, but as soon as Squealer explains that accusations they all go insane wanting Snowball’s death. Napoleon got what he wanted all along, Snowball was one of the most hated animals, while he is being praised as the magnificent leader. After the day Snowball ran away everything changed, and could never go back to the way it was. Napoleon was in everyone’s mind, he could say anything and they will believe him that’s the reason they all detested Snowball so much. Snowball doesn’t mind any of it, at the end of the day he keeps returning to the farm to explore. Snowball is admirable because no matter how much hate he receives he keeps coming back. This reason clarifies why Snowball is my favorite character, he will never care about…

    It would have been a good idea since the animals were half way to starvation from their rations making some animals unable to fight alongside Napoleon, but the idea also conflicted with two of the commandments. So even if there were animals that fought against Snowball he would not fight back.…

    Snowball believes in the happiness of his citizens. He would always put the farm first and try to achieve everyone's needs, this is seen when he devised a plan for a windmill tower that would produce electricity and benefit everyone on the farm. Napoleon, however, is more of a demanding, overpowering pig who always gets what he wants. He gets influenced easily and always puts himself first. He believes that he is Animal Farm's destined leader and praises himself for all the things that he has done for the animals this is seen when Napoleon spreads lies and rumours, making Snowball into a symbol of the enemy within and steals snowballs idea of the windmill.…

    Napoleon's Integrity

    • 1085 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Often through his influential representative, Squealer, Napoleon routinely lies to the unintelligent animals. For instance, he alters the story of the Battle of the Cowshed to paint himself as a heroic figure. In actuality Napoleon accomplishes nothing remarkable during the battle, but Squealer later convinces the other animals otherwise: “Do you not remember… [how] when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that Comrade Napoleon sprang forward with a cry of ‘Death to Humanity!’ and sank his teeth in Jones’s leg?” (81). Although Napoleon commands his followers’ admiration, he does not deserve that respect, for he obtains it deceitfully. He also conceals his own shortcomings by persuading the other animals to blame Snowball, whom he banished from Animal Farm, for all of the farm’s misfortunes. “Whenever anything went wrong it became usual to attribute it to Snowball” (78). By slandering Snowball, Napoleon deviously establishes himself among the other animals as the only fitting leader for Animal Farm. Admittedly, one instance of Napoleon’s trickery averts an attack on the farm when food supplies run low. “Napoleon was well aware of the bad results that might follow if the real facts of the food situation were known, and he decided to make use of Mr. Whymper to spread a contrary impression” (75). Though misleading the neighboring farmers proves advantageous in that instance, Napoleon’s…

    I chose to draw the scene where Napoleon chases out Snowball. I think that it is an important to the plot becuase it is part of the rising action. During thos scene Napoleon’s nine vicious dogs chase out Snowball. At this point it leaves Napoleon with a lot of power, since Snowball is gone. Once Napoleon has this power it gave him the chance to corrupt the minds of the other animals. It gives Napoleon the power to brain wash all the animlas into thinking that what ever he thinks is right. In the drawing it shows Squealer and Napoleon with smirks on ther faces. Squealer and Napoleon are supposed to symbolize that the pigs have more power than the others. Since the pigs are sitting higher than all the other animals it shows that the pigs have…

    This quote explain that the animals on the farm are afraid to stand u against Napoleon. It says that it was unanimous on Napoleon being the President of the farm. One reason he won was becaus everyone was afraid that if they ran against him that he would have the dogs chase him out like Snowball.

    Hello comrades, today right this second, I am supporting Snowball because he is not a thieving liar, a pig of trust and a pig with honor. He is the real pig behind the farm; not Napoleon. He has saved many animals during the Battle of Cowshed and he too shed blood. Napoleon, he is the real liar he has done nothing contributing to the leadership of the society! He is the traitor and not Snowball because he is the one with the ideas and with his heart so bright; brighter than the sun. His heart so pure, the purest even.…

    Napoleon wants to take over animal farm but Snowball wants to take over animal farm too they are not fighting over being a leader but the animals think Snowball would be a better leader then Napoleon because he helps more and is way more involved in every activity their in. Snowball sacrifice his life for the other animals he gives orders and positions to all the animals because the animals don’t know what they are doing the other animas are always confused the animals have to take orders from a leader they depend on some else not themselves.

    “One animal was lost today, and to honour the fallen, we shall sing ‘Beasts of England’ at the end.” Snowball paused, surveying the attentive audience in front of him. They looked eager for him to continue, though sad for the loss for their efforts. Napoleon gave him a look, and he started talking, again. “The pure determination of all of us together, comrades, was enough to frighten away Jones, and his evil henchmen, and possibly any thought of returning as well.…

    To explain, Napoleon determined that he had to banish Snowball, a former comrade, out of the farm by using the dogs as a threat. Not only was Snowball mortified, so were the animals by seeing this display of authority, much like they had experienced with Farmer Jones. The author states, “Silent and terrified, the animals crept back into the barn. In a moment the dogs came bounding back… Though not yet full-grown, they were huge dogs, and as fierce-looking as wolves. It was noticed that they wagged their tails to him in the same way as the other dogs has been used to do to Mr. Jones” (pg. 53). Napoleon uses the dogs as a way to scare the animals and this represents how desperate Napoleon was to gain power, and how desperate he is now to change the animal's’ point of view into seeing Snowball as a bad influence. This is shown by how Napoleon uses the scare tactic against the animals and their beliefs. As a way to influence the animals to think against Snowball, Napoleon decided to have a ‘show’ of various animals owning up to horrendous crimes that all tied back to Snowball. This ‘show’ leaves a scene that is cold-blooded, all caused by his nine dogs. Orwell writes, “Napoleon stood sternly surveying his audience; then he uttered a high-pitched whimper… When they had finished their confession, the dogs promptly tore their throats out, and in a terrible voice Napoleon demanded whether any other animals had anything to confess” (pg. 83-84). The pig turned to horrible acts of violence in order to remind the animals of his control and to prevent rebellions against him. Such a decision caused mixed feelings of doubt and hurt among the animals, and such feelings can even influence Napoleon into taking possibly more drastic measures and induce more harm to the citizens of the farm. Furthermore, after the hens refused to cooperate with Napoleon’s request of taking their eggs…

    The animals will have an opposite view from the higher class of “Animalism.” Napoleon gains the minds of the animals through metaphors. Before Napoleon kicked Snowball out of Animal Farm, the whole farm looked up to Snowball, because he was smart in his words and in his ideas. Even after kicking Snowball out, the animals still could not fathom Snowball turning against them. Squealer changes their views of Snowball, telling them that he was a traitor from the very start. Snowball had knocked down their windmill, he tells them. The animals are frightened of Snowball being some kind of “invisible influence.” Because of this rhetoric device, the animals’ views on Snowball changed throughout the book. The pigs succeeded through this propaganda. Soon, Snowball was thought of as an outsider and nothing more than that.…
