In those years of being in charge Napoleon has changed, he has matured and has seen what kind of affect his actions have had on animals on the farm. Napoleon has had 2 sons, one 16 and the other 24. Clarice was 24, and next in line to be in charge. Clarice was nearly exactly the same as the younger Napoleon, the only thing different was that Clarice was pure evil. He kills without reason, he tortures the animals of the farm for his own entertainment, and is hated by almost everybody on the farm, except his friends. Alexander was 16 and was the complete opposite of Clarice. Alexander was loved by everyone on the farm, and would never hurt a fly, but has was …show more content…

    Although Napoleon manages to gain the farm animals' trust at the beginning of the story, it is later evident that he is a ruthless and cunning dictator. Napoleon, along with the other pigs, assume leadership position a few days after old Major's death. They turn Old Major's dream into a philosophy and vow to make life better for the animals on Manor Farm. Eventually, Napoleon becomes corrupted by greed and breaks his promise. He takes away the animals' freedom by taking away the weekly debate so that no one may voice their opinion or turn the animals against him, living in luxury in his barn while the animals live outside, not doing any actual work on the farm, persuading the other animals to labor on the farm while he supervises, reducing…

His incentive for this side of the code was probably to limit political freedom.…

You see Napoleon is trying to take over because he thinks he can fix our problems, when really he is the problem.…

    To gain control over his people, Napoleon unjustly executes those that disagree with his ideals. After the massacre, “there was a pile of corpses lying before Napoleon’s feet and the air was heavy with the smell of blood,” (Orwell 84).

As the other animals observe these acts of violence, their terror forces them into silence and acceptance of Napoleon’s rule. Although some executions were public, others, such as Boxer’s, were kept secret.…
