    Napoleons dream of becoming a leader had become a reality as he had gained full control and had become a dictator. This is proven when the novella states “they had come to a time where no animal had dared to speak their mind, when fierce growling dogs roamed everywhere,” (Pg64) Napoleons rule had become violent as the animals were too afraid to do anything after “they had to watch fellow comrades get torn to pieces.” (Pg64) Napoleons use of his dogs insures that no animals shall dare defy him destroying there once loved freedom and replacing it with torture, creating a life that was worse than living under the autocracy of the humans. It is clearly shown in this novella that the pigs are easily manipulated as they are naïve to believe the pigs want the best for them, this is shown through the use of dramatic irony. Napoleon more destroys the freedom vowed by Old Major at the start of the revolution as he forces the animals to work and live and be treated as slaves proving Napoleon to be corrupt than the humans as the animals were only working for the better interest of the pigs and for the benefit of the pigs not themselves as they thought that was what they were doing.…

    The ongoing corruption from the powerful pigs in Animal Farm was used more than once to sway the memories and thoughts of the other animals. During a debate on the farm, Napoleon, one of the two most powerful pigs, ran the other powerful pig, Snowball, away from Animal Farm. From that point on, opinions on Snowball changed drastically; those animals who adored Snowball now believed that he was a traitor and the root of all problems on the farm. Snowball was even reduced to “no better than a criminal” (Orwell). This use of Snowball as a scapegoat allowed Napoleon to not only blame the farm’s problems on someone other than himself, but was also proof of how greatly he could impact the animal’s opinions, using his power.…
