One of Napoleon's main characteristics is that instead of acting himself, he uses other animals, for example the pig, Squealer to do his dirty work. On numerous occasions, he used other pigs to convince the animals to follow him. For example, in his rise to power, he killed his longtime friend Snowball in an act of murder. Then he manipulated the situation so that people would follow him even more afterwards. As the leader, many of his orders took away freedom and equality on the farm. Foremost, he rewrote the original seven commandments of Animalism, to his own benefit, and terminated democratic voting for the animals. Later on, he uses whips to assert his dominance over other animals. By the end of the novel, he is in complete control over Animal Farm, having taken away any sense of freedom for the farm
