    Additionally he also uses Ethos to get his point across. When it was discovered that Snowball was coming to the farm at night, Squealer had to make sure they thought it was him. “Snowball was in league with Jones from the very start!”(55). This is a good example because even though some of the animals disagree, Squealer continues to push the idea. By this he shows that even with doubt, he makes their disagreements dissolve away. During the…

    Christopher Woodward is Director of the Holburne Museum of Art in Bath. Woodward claims that Napoleon continued to exert influence in the minds of the Europeans.

    Squealer has all the animals believing propaganda, and it brainwashed them, and made them feel as if nothing is wrong on the farm. The number one reason why Squealer is now also corrupt is because of Napoleon’s self corruption. Squealer lets Napoleon order him around because if he didn’t do so, he would probably be killed or harmed. Squealer lies for Napoleon, as he said, “Snowball has sold himself to Frederick of Pinchfield Farm…”, (Orwell 118). Squealer had no choice, but to let Napoleon control him, otherwise he would have been harmed or killed, and no good would have come out of it.…

    Arguably, another similarity and difference portraying Napoleon and Snowball are the relationships they built and ignored with their fellow animals and their views on life and leadership. 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. Squealer was Napoleon's second in command, always reported back to him for any problems and praised Napoleon's work to the other animals by manipulating and giving excuses to why Napoleon is doing the certain things that are happening. 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…

    After the revolution and the failure of regaining Haiti, those plans were abandoned. This also led to the selling of Louisiana to the United States. Although his plans fell through he still was in control in France. He began an embargo on Britain, and was able to get a significant amount of countries to join him. During the embargo he did take a major loss when his ships were destroyed, which meant that he no longer had a chance at attacking Britain. The embargo was unsuccessful against Britain and the Russians resumed trade with them in 1810. This led to Napoleon invading Russia in an attempt convince Alexander I to continue with the embargo.

    One of many reasons Napoleon and Squealer get away with these false allegations is that the animals are too dumb to remember what happened.<br><br>Another way Napoleon uses methods to make him look good is simply changing the rules to favor himself. Squealer again is responsible for the wrongdoing. All of the Seven Commandments of Animal Farm are eventually broken before the commandments are "revised" to prove the pigs did nothing wrong. In the eighth chapter, the commandment that strictly forbids animals to kill one another was cunningly changed to "No animal shall kill any other animal without cause" after a series of executions of supposed traitors and probable Snowball followers. Napoleon forced confessions and eliminated these probable traitors under the newly revised rule. The new rule favored his popularity, respect, and increased his hunger for power.<br><br>Napoleon's actions were not unnoticed though. Those who noticed were intimidated by his guard dogs and were silenced. In one situation, young pigs protested Napoleon's…

    In midst of a bitter winter and food shortage, the animals labor to rebuild the windmill. Napoleon continues to rewrite history while publicly condemning Snowball to gain the animal’s loyalty. As Napoleon’s dogs attack and slaughter supposedly treasonous animals, Clover realizes that their original vision of a utopian society differs from the current injustice and terror the animals face. Napoleon abolishes “Beast of England”, the animal’s source of unity, hope, and comfort. Squealer labels the song unnecessary since the rebellion has ended; however, the real reason remains that Napoleon does not want the animals to rebel against his regime.…

    Napoleon's Integrity

    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…

    Napoleon commands on his dogs to slaughter many animals in the farm along with breaking a rule of Animalism (Orwell 56, 82, 85).An animal could be slaughtered by Napoleon if it disobeyed his orders (Orwell 56). In another time, “[the dogs] dashed straight for Snowball, who only…[in] that moment…was out of the door…” (Orwell 35) and trying to eliminate him. This made the other animals frightened and terrified from their sharp action (Orwell 35-36). Right after Snowball’s elimination, “the three dogs who happened to be with [Squealer] crowed so threateningly, that [the other animals] accepted his explanation without further questions” (Orwell 39) by using his persuasive talkative way. The use of manipulation through the dogs has a sense of fear on the other animals to prevent them from having a…

    After a few hours when all of the animals were in a deep sleep, Napoleon walked down to the shed with Pilkington to observe Napoleon’s livestock. At this point, Napoleon and all of the farmers were very drunk off of Napoleon’s homemade whiskey. Little did they know that Squealer wasn’t drunk at all and had a plan to kill Napoleon for power. Squealer had a big mouth, so he had to tell the animals, Squealer had persuaded the animals to hate Napoleon, and that he himself was going to make the farm a better place. The animals were cheering for squealer; this commotion resulted in Pilkington snooping into the barn.…
