power and corruption

• Through the pigs resemblance to humans+ alteration of ideology


  It ran no animal shall kill another animal without cause"

  "It was a pig walking on his hind legs...he carried a whip in his trotter"

  "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"
• Physical intimidation


  "The pellets buried themselves ..the meeting place broke up hurriedly "

  "They dashed straight for snowball..to escape their snapping jaws"

  They were all slain on the spot...pile of corpses..smell of blood"
• Psychological manipulation


  "Surely comrade, you do not want jones back"

  "Comrades, do you know who is respondible for this? Snowball"

  "And do you not remember...Comrade Napoleon sprang forward with a cry of death to humanity and sank his teeth into jones leg"
