of the animals to have a say in their democratic government. However, the pigs begin enjoying
certain privileges that the other animals do not have access to and refrain from engaging in
manual labor. Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse whenusurps power by driving
Snowball from the farm. Under Napoleon's tyrannical reign, the pigs on the farm are considered
upper class and lord over the other animals. They make every political decision, enjoy the best
amenities and products the farm has to offer, sleep in the farmhouse, drink alcohol, refrain
