Ans. Napoleon is the most important character in Animal Farm. He is drawn after a communist leader who though elected based on fighting for the interests of the proletariats is transformed into a dictator after victory.
This transformation is not brought by any external cause; it is rather the manifestation of his true character that he craftily concealed. Contemporary history is full, of such examples, of political leaders who were together in the course of the revolution but who not only fell apart but became enemies of the revolutionary cause itself.

In Animal Farm Napoleon is one such boar who leads animals in their rebellion against the Major. For some time he lets the animal revel in the joy of victory and freedom. But very quietly and forcefully he changed the policies and rules of the farm.
He got new rules inscribed and had them put up on signboards so that every animal could read and follow them. The way he created distance between himself and the animals is an index of his tactics. By living in separate apartments he manages to maintain a very high standard of living while other animals toil and suffer.
