Napoleon was so eager to keep his power that he used scapegoats for anything that went wrong on the farm. When the windmill that all the animals had been building collapsed, Napoleon did not want faith in him to be lost and replaced with rebellious thoughts. Napoleon relieved himself of any blame for the bad construction plans of the windmill by naming Snowball, who unbeknownst to the other animals had been killed, as the person responsible for its collapse. He told them that Snowball was a traitor and that anyone found to be in league with him would be punished.

In the novel, Animal Farm, George Orwell portrays Snowball as a more imaginative and inventive character. Napoleon was a poor leader and he didn't treat the animals on the farm fairly. Before Napoleon chased Snowball off the farm, Snowball co-operates with Napoleon and Squealer to organize Old Majors ideas into the principles of Animalism, and to reduce these to the Seven Commandments. It is Snowball who organizes the various Animal Committees and the classes in reading and writing, therefore showing interest in the other animals.

Mr. Jones: Reformer drunk farmer of the Manor Farm-Animal Farm. He was unkind to all the animals and he didn't give enough food and made them work hard.

Napoleon uses brutal forces, while Snowball relies solely on the force of his own logic and rhetorical skill to gain his influence. Snowball allows the superiority of the pigs, while Napoleon does not and wants the superiority for himself. Snowball is used as a scapegoat, such as how the media is today, by making a person seem worse than reality. Snowball, in this case, is the animal in crime since he left.

He stole the corn, he upset the milk-pails, he broke the eggs”. As Snowball was being blamed for every bad thing even when someone say he was brave in the battle of cowshed, squealer the pig tells everyone that bravery is not enough, loyalty and obedience are more important. Napoleon also uses porpangander to envision himself as a fearful and brave leader.
