My favorite character in “The Animal Farm” is napoleon the pig; he is also the main character of the book. Like the whole book, real life events and people influence Napoleons character. Orwell said that Stalin influenced the Character of Napoleon, but that the name is Napoleon, because Orwell believed that Napoleon the historical person was a ruthless dictator and tyrant.  He emerges as the leader after the rebellion after he overpowers Snowball. Like Stalin, napoleon uses military force, his nine loyal dogs, to control the other animals and extend his power.  By doing so he proves that he is more manipulative and treacherous than his opponent Snowball.  I Chose Napoleon as my favorite character because he is the leader on the Animal Farm. He is the one that planned everything and he is the smartest animal there, the most out of the ordinary one. Napoleon has great and revolutionary ideas, like trading with the humans, building the windmill. But there were often setbacks, like the food shortage, but napoleon cleverly blamed it on Snowball, who had gone rouge.
