Animal Farm Napoleon Character Analysis

My favorite character in the novel, Animal Farm is Napoleon because he persuaded the animals, did not accept opposition and was the most brutal out of all the farmers. Napoleon told squealer to say in the novel that “Snowball was Jones’s agent from the very beginning” and “he was trying to take away their freedom from them” (Orwell 82) . Napoleon was a very convincing leader, but not all of his achievements could be accomplished without the help of his speaker of propaganda, Squealer, and his poem writer Maximus. He always convicted Snowball of atrocities against the farm and said that things were better than Jones’s days. The animals believed it all (except for Benjamin) even though they were being treated worse than before. Napoleon in the novel also

The sad truth how they were actually being treated came from Mr.Pilkington who said “The animals in Animal Farm were working more and being fed less than any other animal in the country” (137). Certain times, the animals did feel like they were being underfed, but Squealer with his wisdom of propaganda tricked them that they were being well fed and taken care of properly than before. They were forced to work all of the days since they could finish the windmill and harvest the crops, but they always felt tired from this amount of work. When the farming animals were starving and working, the pigs and dogs just watched over them and received their appropriate delicious meals. The animals questioned their privileges, but they said they needed it for the amount of brain-work they do. Napoleon was seen as one of the younger pigs in the beginning of the story, but at the end he became the ruthless leader of Animal Farm. These are the characteristics of my favorite character, Napoleon, who is a persuasive, brutal leader of the farm which he now calls Manor
