In George Orwell's novel, Animal Farm, Napoleon started out as an ordinary pig, but when given the opportunity to take power he turns into an evil dictator. During his time as leader he brought slavery and many deaths to Manor Farm due to his need for power and success. Even with all the power he had he didn’t trust the animals, he feared they would turn against him. For example, when Jessie had 9 puppies he took it upon himself to train them to scare other animals and to consolidate his power. He uses the puppies to run off snowball to have full control over Manor Farm and all of Snowballs ideas. While using the 9 puppies to gain more control over Manor Farm and the animals, he quickly becomes more powerful and harsher with punishments.
