Which details from Chapter 6 of…

I think three details that illustrate Napoleon’s desire for power and success are: Napoleon makes the windmill more important than everything: At the start of the chapter, after Snowball’s expulsion, Napoleon claims the windmill project as his own even though he initially opposed it. This shift shocks the animals, but Squealer manipulates them into believing it’s a strategy to eliminate Snowball’s negative influence. From then on, the windmill’s construction takes precedence over all else, with a plan to complete it within two years based on the pigs’ designs. Napoleon informs the animals that this endeavor will demand intense labor, even suggesting a reduction in their food rations to focus their efforts on building rather than growing crops. Napoleon makes changes to trade rules by announcing a new policy: He positions himself as the sole negotiator with the outside world, disregarding the rules established when they ousted the humans. The other animals are left confused about whether these rules were real or merely imagined through Squealer’s influence, whose role was to keep them focused and complacent about the windmill. This leads to the pigs violating further rules, such as occupying the human house and enjoying luxuries like sleeping in beds while waking later than everyone else. Napoleon’s actions clearly indicate that he and the pigs view themselves as superior, undermining the equality they initially established. Napoleon wrongly accuses Snowball of destroying the windmill: This accusation reflects his refusal to accept responsibility for his own decisions and highlights how he perceives Snowball as a rival who threatens his authority. By labeling Snowball as the culprit, he transforms him into a common enemy for the rest of the farm, solidifying his power and diverting attention from his leadership failings.
