Where Is Napoleon During The Battle

For much of
the early part of the story,is not a key player in the revolution personally, other than to
criticize .  Napoleon is conspicuously absent at the battle.  This should not be a surprise, as
the day after the revolution, he disposed of the cow's milk which logically should have gone to
the calves or to the animals as a whole. Snowball leads the charge against the humans and is
even wounded for his efforts.  Napoleon rewrites history when he decides that Snowball is too
much of a threat, and places himself in Snowball's place and even makes Snowball the leader of
the humans.  This is characteristic of Napoleon's leadership style.  He rewrites history so that
he is always the hero and he uses fear and browbeating to make the other animals fall into line.
