Whileandhave
different personalities, they share a number of common characteristics. They both have
aspirations of leadership, for example, as we see in Chapter Two
when they assume control of the preparations for the forthcoming rebellion. These preparations
also demonstrate their intelligence, as shown by their work on the
development of Animalism.
In addition, both Napoleon and Snowball are
ambitious. For Snowball, this is expressed through his many
education committees, designed to aid the intellectual development of the other animals. In
contrast, Napoleon demonstrates his ambition when he steals the cows' milk so that the pigs can
have it in their mash.
When the two pigs go head to head over the windmill,
we get a sense of how competitive they are and neither one is
prepared to concede to the other. This demonstrates their mutual
stubbornness and ultimately leads to the breakdown of their
relationship and Snowball's violent expulsion.
