Napoleon believes that pigs belong to a superior race and that all animals, no matter how powerful, are inferior to their genius. He is capable of establishing a decision based on violence and deception. Napoleon, the fascist leader of Animal Farm, is not only a terrible leader for animals, but he also presents numerous examples of how his cruelty exceeds that of Farmer Jones. Napoleon's actions escalate, going from endlessly toiling animals to being the victim of the basest of human traits, and even playing judge, jury, and executioner to those who appear guilty. In comparison, Napoleon's cruelty makes Jones seem like a benevolent farmer but, unfortunately, many animals are too naive to notice this. “All that year the animal worked like slaves” (Orwell 59). This quote is just a simple excerpt of what Napoleon did to animals during his reign. With his ruling powers, he is able to control animals and force them to work to the point of death; The most prominent example is the construction of the windmill, the primary task of which is to reduce future work on the farm. Napoleon works hard with the animals, but he himself has done little to no work as he hangs around the farmer's house. Some may think that this work is a successful endeavor, but unfortunately this is far from the case. After a violent storm, the windmill is found in ruins; animal labor for nothing. Is this problematic for Napoleon? No, that's not the case. It's just a delay that doesn't affect him in any way. Instead, Napoleon puts the animals back to work, even during the worst weather conditions and without interruption. Some died from this torment, Boxer the Horse being one of the victims of this cruelty. Unfortunately... middle of paper...... the animals were fighting... man. This may seem obscure, but it is perfectly clear in the sentence "There is no doubt, now, what happened to the pigs' faces." The outer creatures looked from the pig to the man, and from the man to the pig, and from the pig to the man again; but already it was impossible to tell which was which” (Orwell 141). He is the symbol of oppression, the weight that tips the scales between good and evil. Napoleon's treacherous acts of endless work, building sin traits, and even gambling with the lives of his former comrades bring an end to the united powers of the farm. What he has done will only result in rebellion, and with rebellion will come more war, more blood, and more suffering. Only this time, the good word of equality will prevail over that of a single super-powerful pig and his supporters. Works Cited Orwell, George. Animal farm. New York, Penguin Group, 1946. Print.
