How Does Napoleon Maintain Power????

Power is kept by Napoleon through a number of methods. The most important one for me is aggression. He is very intimidating to other animals. This is demonstrated when he gets dogs to chase Snowball.’9 enormous dogs wearing brass-studded collars came bounding into the barn, they dashed straight for Snowball’.The image of the dogs going for snowball gives the impression that Napoleon doesn’t want Snowball on the farm because he is going against what Napoleon, says and tells the animals to do.’ As usual snowball and Napoleon were in a disagreement. According to Napoleon, what the animals must do was to procure firearms and train themselves.

 Squealer uses persuasive language to persuade the animals that they have won the battle when boxer says ‘what victory’ and Squealer reply’s ‘what matter?’ we will build another windmill .we will build 6 if we feel like it. You do not appreciate comrade the mighty thing that we have done. The enemy was in occupation of this very ground that we stand upon, and now thanks to the leadership of comrade napoleon we have won every inch of it back again.’ The animals might feel victimized because this seems like an impossible situation.
