Indoctrination and Rebellion in Animal Farm

In Chapter 7 of Animal Farm, the animals face tough times as they work through winter to rebuild the windmill. They are misled by Napoleon to believe in Snowball's sabotage and are forced to deceive outsiders about food shortages. The hens rebel against Napoleon's decision to sell their eggs, leading to a brief resistance. Snowball is continuously blamed for the farm's issues, and Napoleon uses fear to maintain control, executing dissenters.
