Animal Farm: Key Events and Characters

As winter approaches, Molly becomes troublesome and eventually leaves the farm. The pigs, led by Snowball and Napoleon, plan the farm's future, but their constant disputes hinder progress. The windmill project becomes a major point of contention, dividing the animals. Snowball's eloquence wins support, but Napoleon uses force to expel him, consolidating power with the help of trained dogs. Napoleon ends democratic meetings, centralizing decision-making among the pigs, while Squealer manipulates the truth to maintain control.
