Power is kept by napoleon because of many reasons. The most important reason is because of the dogs that napoleon owns these dogs are terrible scary and very dangerous to be around. In chapter 5 the dog’s committed a horrendous murder killing the chickens and some sheep. When they had finished their confession, the dogs promptly tore their throats out, and in a terrible voice Napoleon demanded whether any other animal had anything to confess”. Supposedly in the commandments it says that no animal shall kill any other animal,
Just when the dogs killed the chicken’s napoleon changed the commandment to say that no animal shall kill another animal without cause.
Napoleon for such a short animal is massive he is very strong pig and definitely stronger than snowball who is small compared to napoleon. In the picture it shows that napoleon is very big and so we all know that when it comes to fighting size matters a lot. snowball may have a chance also because when the animals were fighting Mr jones snowball was the one that bit Mr jones on the leg but squealer lied an changed the story and said that napoleon was the one that bit Mr jones on the leg. If napoleon wasn’t a cowered then snowball would have no chance against him.
The other reason for why napoleon can maintain power on animal farm because he has loads of followers. The one that can speak and say very passionate speeches is squealer an every time that he talk the animals are very convinced of what he says and this is why napoleon has. One of the examples of this is when squealer said that napoleon had bitten mr jone on the leg wich was a lie the animals were very grateful and they believed squealer.
