Describe Napoleon as a dictator in Animal Farm.

The
nameis perfect for the pig who became ruler of . He probably had that name from Jones because he
had a Napoleonic character, i.e., he acted like the boss pig. Napoleon Bonaparte did not take
part in the beginning stages of the French Revolution, but he assumed leadership of the
revolution after the King had been overthrown and a democratic government established. Then
Napoleon Bonaparte used military force and the ideals of the revolution to establish himself as
Emperor and to appoint some of his relatives as kings. Napoleon the pig behaves in a similar
manner. He appropriates the animal revolution for his personal aggrandizement and material gain.
's implication is that getting rid of a king can result in getting an emperor. In Aesop'sabout
the frogs who wanted a king, the frogs got rid of King Log and ended up with King Stork who
devoured all of them.
