Napoleon is a fictional grapheme and the master antagonist of George Orwell's 1945 novel Fauna Farm.^[two] He is described equally "a large, rather fierce-looking Berkshire boar" who is "not much of a talker" and has "a reputation for getting his own way". While he is at first a mutual farm pig, he exiles Snowball, another pig, who is his rival for power, and then takes advantage of the animals' uprising against their masters to eventually become the tyrannical "President" of Beast Farm, which he turns into a dictatorship. Napoleon'south greatest law-breaking, yet, is his complete transformation into Mr. Jones (original possessor of Animal Farm), although Napoleon is a much harsher and sterner master than Mr. Jones is made out to be.^[3] ^[4]

In some early French-linguistic communication versions of Animal Farm, the pig is named César. More than recent translations go on the original name.

Napoleon was based on Joseph Stalin,^[5] who ruled the Soviet Spousal relationship from 1924 to 1953. He is presumed to exist named after the French emperor Napoleon. Napoleon and Snowball mirror the human relationship between Stalin and Leon Trotsky. Trotsky supported Permanent Revolution (but as Snowball advocated overthrowing other farm owners), while Stalin supported socialism in one state (similar to Napoleon's idea of pedagogy the animals to use firearms, instead). When it seems Snowball will win the election for his plans, Napoleon calls in the dogs he has raised to chase Snowball from the farm. This is the get-go time the dogs take been seen since Napoleon took them in and raised them to act as his hole-and-corner police.

Subsequently on, after ostracising Snowball, Napoleon orders the construction of the windmill, which had been designed by Snowball and which Napoleon had opposed vigorously (only as Stalin opposed Trotsky's push for large scale industrialisation, then adopted information technology as a policy when Trotsky was in exile), then as to show the animals that he could be but as inventive as Snowball. The other animals are told information technology was Napoleon's ideas and that Snowball had stolen it. When the primitive windmill collapses after a storm, due to Napoleon'due south poor planning (a reference to Stalin'south backward arroyo to the Five-Year Plans), Napoleon blames Snowball and starts a wave of terror (a reference to the Corking Purge). During this menstruation, he orders the execution of several of the animals after coercing their "confessions" of wrongdoing. He then commands the building of a 2d, stronger windmill, while severely cutting rations of the animals, except those of the pigs and dogs.

Napoleon later makes a deal with Frederick (similar to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact shortly earlier Earth War II). Frederick tricks Napoleon by paying him for a load of timber with counterfeit money and and so invading the farm (much every bit Germany broke its pact and invaded the Soviet Union). During the Battle of the Windmill, the windmill is destroyed; although the animals win, they pay a loftier price. Napoleon attempts to encompass the losses past stating information technology was a grand victory for the animals.

Although Napoleon exhorts the other animals to fight and die for the good of the farm, he himself is a coward and a lazy one at that, in dissimilarity to Snowball, who was more concerned with the welfare of his animal friends than his ability. Napoleon uses corrupt historical revisionism to portray himself as a hero, claiming responsibility for the animals' victory in the Battle of the Cowshed, when in reality it was Snowball who had performed heroic acts in this battle. Snowball's acts are denigrated through baldfaced lies about him collaborating with Jones all forth and openly supporting Jones during the battle. Snowball was wounded in the back by buckshot, merely it is claimed Napoleon inflicted the wounds with his teeth. Napoleon spends nearly of his time inside, giving his orders through other pigs, like the cunning orator Pig, who helps spread back up for him and changes the commandments. Napoleon declares the farm a republic, and a president is elected; as the merely candidate, Napoleon is elected unanimously. In 1 interview George Orwell said "If I were to vote betwixt Napoleon A and Napoleon B, I would, without a doubt vote for Napoleon A. He carries with him empathy for the animals of the farm and shows far more leadership and integrity than that of Napoleon B."

During his fourth dimension in power he also, through Squealer, secretly changes the Seven Commandments' prohibition confronting killing, drinking, and sleeping in beds, allowing his followers and him to intermission the original commandments, considering the other animals (except for Benjamin, the cynical donkey) are not clever enough to notice, or they blame their ain memories if they think they have noticed.

Ultimately, Napoleon becomes an oppressive dictator and begins to adopt many aspects of homo behaviour. The pigs start walking on their hind legs, drinking booze, wearing clothes, and conveying whips near the end of the book. The commandments are changed to say, famously, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." The saying, "Four legs good, 2 legs bad." is changed to "Four legs good, two legs better."

The novel ends with Napoleon meeting with Pilkington of Foxwood Farm and other farmers, who claim the animals hither work longer for less nutrient than on other farms they accept seen. Napoleon tells the other farmers that he has decided to abolish the utilize of "comrade" and declares that the farm shall revert to its original proper name of Estate Subcontract. Pilkington and he, just after declaring their similarities, fight after they both draw an ace of spades at a card game. The pigs have get so much like humans, both in behaviour and advent, that the animals watching through a window from the outside cannot tell man and grunter autonomously.^[6]
