Napoleon represents Stalin for the following reasons:

  • He opposes Snowball’s (Trotsky’s) ideas and later uses Snowball’s ideas to his own benefit.
  • Blames Snowball for everything that occurs (even when he was absent).
  • He assumes as “Leader” of the farm and makes his own rules.
  • No one objects to him, if they do his guard dogs threaten them.
  • Makes minor changes to the Commandments.
