Napoleon Changes 3

The third major change for Napoleon throughout the novel was him trading and socialising with Mr Frederick. Towards the end of the text Napoleon started to trade animal made goods for alcohol, which lead to him bonding a friendship with the previous arch nemesis Mr Frederick. This is extremely significant because it shows his change from a simplistic swine to a business engaging, alcohol drinking pig. All of this human interaction eventually caused Napoleon and some other ‘high up’ pigs’ faces to become inseparable from the men. “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again but already it was impossible to say which was which”. This enforces the pigs and mainly Napoleons severe change. Orwell’s purpose in addressing this is too show what power and greed can do someone. Napoleon’s major change is seen widely across books, movies and real life showing what power can do to someone, and how much it can change them whether that be good or in this case bad. An obvious person who changed negatively with power is Stalin, Stalin was intended to share common beliefs to Napoleon when Orwell wrote the novel. Napoleon socialising and engaging in trades with humans has changed him into a whole new pig.
