    The character that interested me the most in “Animal Farm” was Napoleon. Napoleon was an enormous, fierce-looking pig who operated on cruelty and deceitfulness. For instance, in chapter 3, as soon as the puppies of Jessie and Bluebell were weaned he took them away “saying that he would make himself responsible for their education” (Orwell 41). None of the animals knew why until chapter 5 when they suddenly appear, and like the KGB they chase Snowball across the long pasture to never be seen again. These dogs kept close to Napoleon, and “wagged their tails to him in the same way as the other dogs had been used to do to Mr. Jones (Orwell 58).
