Consumed by pride, Napoleon tries to conceal this fact from the outside world, fearing it may destroy his reputation and satisfy the rumours that were developing surrounding Animal Farm, stating that Napoloeon was failing as a leader and could never achieve to overthrow the human race. After this incident, Napoleon "rarely appeared in public" and when he did it was almost in a "ceremonial manner", this reveals Napoleons exaggerated sense of his own importance and ability, he views himself almost as godlike. He also believes he has an unlimited power over the animals regardless…

    The pigs on the farm, known to all as the “cleverest of the animals” (25) either by design or by relation to Old Major and his statutes of Animalism, are the ones who take the incentive to educate themselves and others with the most basic literary education.
