Animal Farm

In Chapters 7 and 8 of George Orwell's "Animal Farm," Napoleon's authoritarian rule intensifies as he leverages propaganda and fear to maintain control. The destruction of the windmill marks a pivotal moment, with Napoleon scapegoating Snowball to unite the animals against a common enemy. His immediate push to rebuild the windmill showcases his desire for power. The brutal response to the hens' rebellion and the erasure of the "Beasts of England" song reflect his totalitarian tendencies. As tensions rise, the true nature of leadership and manipulation is revealed, underscoring the tragic irony of their revolution.
