Napoleon

Origin: Animal Farm by George Orwell (1945)
Voice Actor: Patrick Stewart
Type of Villain: True Antagonist/Tyrant
Goal: To exert complete power over the Jones Farm animals

Description
Napoleon and another pig known as Snowball assumed leadership positions and led a revolution against Mr. Jones, the farm owner. After driving out the humans both Snowball and Napoleon created seven commandments to ensure equality. However, Napoleon grew greedy and selfish, exiling Snowball and assuming control over Animal Farm. As time went on, Napoleon began acting more like the corrupt humans they drove out, changing the commandments of the farm and removibg those he deemed a threat to his rule. At the peak of his rule, the animals launched a second revolt, killing Napoleon and the corrupt government. It is generally interpreted that the farm represents Russia, and that Old Major, another pig, represented Marx or his principles. Snowball can be seen as the provisional government overthrown in the October Revolution, and Napoleon can be seen as Joseph Stalin, or the concept of the Soviet Union as a whole.

"Long live Animal Farm!"
