Scene Summary and Context
In the story of Animal Farm, Napoleon and Snowball are two key pig characters who emerge as leaders during the revolution against human oppressors. Napoleon, ambitious and authoritative, gradually consolidates power, often using propaganda and fear to control the other animals. Snowball, intelligent and passionate about the ideals of equality, advocates for education and collective decision-making. Their differing visions for the farm highlight internal conflicts and betrayals, reflecting broader social issues such as corruption, manipulation, and the abuse of authority. Napoleon employs tactics like scapegoating Snowball to justify purges and consolidates his dictatorship, while Snowball's ideas for reform are dismissed or sabotaged. The rivalry between these characters exemplifies how leadership influences social dynamics and justice, illustrating the dangers of absolute power and the importance of vigilance among the oppressed.
