Discuss the rift between Snowball and Napoleon as they are caught in their power.

Afterdies,andboth consider it inevitable that
they should revolt against Mr. Jones. Once they are able to do this, the rift begins with the
implementation of Animalism. While Snowball is more interested in educating the young animals by
teaching them to read and write, Napoleon is already preoccupied with forcing his dogma and
tenants on all members of the farm. After The Battle of the Cowshed, Snowball is easily the most
popular pig, and introduces his plan to modernize the farm by building a windmill. Napoleon
seeing this as a threat to his authority, has Snowball chased out ofby his dogs.

Napoleon and Snowball are allusions to Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky, respectively.
Trotsky, once a high-ranking member of the Communist party, was stripped of all his positions
and titles over the course of a few years and was exiled and eventually assassinated for
opposing Stalinist bureaucracy.
