Napoleon in Animal Farm
Animal Farm started off to as a very democratic society, where all animals worked according to their capacity, where food was equally plentiful for all the animals, where there was strictly no dispute at all over the lives of each animal - these were the glorious days. As can be expected, that the animals faced numerous problems and hardships during their working hours, but these problems were always solved by the clever pigs, who, unarguably and naturally, were seen as the highest rank in the farm and hence became the leading party.
As the days wore on in Animal Farm, Napoleon, later on known as "Our Leader, Comrade Napoleon", took out and slaughtered all of the animals who he thinks is in league with snowball and is trying to oppose him. Napoleon gradually rises to full power and increases the preoccupation with his position and status in the farm, clearly utilizing the revolution and abusing the other animals' trust on him for his own gain.
