Golding's Lord Of The Flies: Is Security More Important Than Freedom?

By killing the animals, Napoleon shows that he is willing to go to any measures possible to make the animals confess their crimes. For example, when Napoleon calls the same four pigs who “protested when Napoleon abolished the Sunday Meetings” (92) to confess their crimes, they tell him “that they had entered into an agreement with” (93) Snowball to hand over Animal Farm to Mr. Frederick. Since Napoleon does not prefer the sound of the pigs when they confess, he orders the dogs to tear their throats out. This quote suggest that Napoleon does not show any sympathy towards the pigs to hear the full story of what the pigs needed to say. After the pigs die, Napoleon starts to demand “whether any other animal had anything to confess” (93) and when he says these words, three hens, a goose and three sheep also confess their crime.
