, is at
first, an inspiration to the other animals. Realizing that the humans might try to retake the
farm, he devises a military strategy to defend the farm. He is wounded in battle and considered
a hero.
Snowball fully embraces the ideology of animalism and comes up with
the plans to build a windmill that will assist the animals on the farm by providing
electricity.
"The biggest controversy stems from
Snowballs plans to build a windmill. He paints a picture of a new , powered by electricity
produced by the windmill. He promises the animals heated stalls, modern machinery to make their
lives easier, and a three-day work
week."
Unfortunately, 's idea is not to make life
easier for anyone but himself. Clearly, his vision of Animal Farm consists of the other animals
working as hard as they have to and Napoleon and the pigs sitting around doing nothing.
Snowball, when he becomes too popular with the other animals must be
removed. Since Napoleon cannot garner the devotion of the other animals the way Snowball can,
he uses threats and physical violence to take control.
"Napoleon makes a high-pitched sound and nine enormous
dogs rush in and chase after Snowball. They are the nine puppies taken from their mothers and
secretly raised by Napoleon. The startled Snowball runs for his life and barely escapes through
the hedge. He is seen no more."
