Squealer Squealer was one of the main reasons that the farm failed because he was the one always telling everyone lies about what was happening on the farm. He was basically one of Napoleon 's servants because he did whatever Napoleon would tell him to do. Most of the animals were very unintelligent so they would believe everything Squealer would say to them. Squealer was partially responsible for the failure of the farm because he told the animals that Mr. Jones would come back, he would “help the animals remember” something they forgot, and told the animals the pigs were working when they were not. Squealer would tell the animals that Mr. Jones would come back if the animals started getting skeptical about something.
Each animal in this book represents a person in this revolution or an idea. Napoleon who represents Stalin used tactics to discard the utopia Leon Trotsky started forming.

Another person who is completely opposite of this conformist is a nonconformist Nat Turner.

Next, the pigs convince the animals that their terrible crop season is because of Snowball. “The wheat crop was full of weeds, and Squealer had somehow discovered that on one of his nocturnal visits Snowball has mixed weed seeds with the seed corn."
Napoleon in the novel is not a wise character. However, he occupies the leader’s position since he is intimidating and authoritative. In contrast, Snowball who is portrayed as the intelligent character, somehow gets expelled from the farm, because he was not as manipulative as Napoleon. To begin with, Orwell uses propaganda as one way of illustrating the theme of power. Napoleon and Squealer both utilize propaganda to brainwash and motivate the animals into following their orders, such as when Snowball teaches the sheep into chanting the slogan, “Four legs good, two legs bad!”(Orwell, page 34).

He makes them believe everything he and the pigs are doing is for the greater good of the whole farm despite the fact that it is not. Squealer controls them in many ways but the strongest or most apparent are telling the other animals Mr. Jones their neglective abusive owner will come back, lying about Boxer the horse’s death, and finally changing the unalterable commandments into one that reads “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”.
