The moment when Napoleon banishes snowball from the Animal Farm would be considered a climax of this novel. Napoleon wanted absolute authority over the farm but Snowball was the biggest obstacle to him since Snowball was intelligent and compatible enough to combat with him. In order to make the condition advantageous to him, he decides to expel Snowball from the farm and brings into action right after the "Battle of Cowshed." Snowball’s completed project plan of windmill is acquired by Napoleon, and Squealer becomes the spreader of propaganda and gains power and maintains political control through twisting the truth. After the expulsion of Snowball, everything starts to disintegrate and it foreshadows the future that there is going to be a political chaos in the Animal Farm . Later in the story, pigs start to possess human items such as playing cards, clothes, drinking alcohols, beds, and eventually make peace and unite with humans. First I felt sad when Napoleon expelled Snowball that he only focus on his benefit and didn’t care about other animals ease. But gradually I became angry of his greediness and selfishness. This story gave me a message that it is impossible to make a classless society where a men’s desire for power never disappears.

Actually, I had a different climax with you. However, your climax seems very logical too. It was when Napoleon decided that nobody will stand between his will and control. Snowball, an intelligent and popular leader, was abolished with no reason. I sometimes think that if Snowball was never expelled, the farm might have been a better place. However, I guess the taste of the power would change Snowball also. Power seems to change the person who has it. It makes them greedy and always want more. They never seem to be satisfied.
