In<em> Animal Farm </em>(1945) by George Orwell<em>,</em> Napoleon represents Stalin, who built a dictatorship under the guise of communism.
<em>Animal Farm </em>was written by Orwell as <u>a satire on soviet totalitarianism</u>. The animals' rebellion is an allegory of the Russian Revolution in 1917. In that way, the writer portrays the ideals of the revolution as well as the development of political corruption.
Orwell satirizes Joseph Stalin, one of the fathers of the Russian Revolution, by representing him in the figure of a pig, Napoleon. In the novel, he also explores the relationship between Stalin and Trotsky, who is represented by Snowball. In that way,<u> the author equates pigs with human tyrants</u>. This becomes clearer at the end of the novel when it becomes impossible to distinguish men from pigs.
