Answer:

He uses the animals in the story to overthrow the people. The pigs bring back the same offenses for which the humans were overthrown. Abuse was inflicted upon animals by humans. Animals would be better off without humans and the pigs make themselves in charge of all of the other animals. The power struggle is within the farm now and the animals are having to compete for food, etc. Napoleon even uses dogs (animal v animal) to attack the other animals. The animals become divided in how they believe they are free now of humans, but are they really free?

Napoleon even executes other animals. Boxer is one of the best characters in the story. Boxer ends up going to the glue factory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hitler began killing off those around him that were close to him and believed in his work. He felt that they would try to overtake him, and he had them killed. His coworkers - killed.

The animals start drinking alcohol. This changes them. Pigs start sleeping in beds, so the commandment changes. It seems as if the pigs are now changing the rules just to suit them and their need for power.
