Boxer solidifies this by saying, "If comrade Napoleon says it; it must be true " (Animal Farm 56). Boxer ignorantly accepts that whatever Napoleon says is correct because Napoleon was smarter than he was. So this ultimately shows how Napoleon status and education affected how he was being viewed by the other animals. Another example from the animal farm would be when the narrator says, "The pigs with their superior knowledge it was only natural that they should assume the leadership " (Animal Farm 27). This clearly states how the pigs in the story got their role as leaders. Influence of one's position can also be displayed history too. For example, during the times before the French Revolution the Nobles and the Clergy were the two of the leading powers. So they often were able to override the third estate because they were poor. All in all, the influence can affect how other people a can view person. .
Greed is also a part of power because it shows what people do to get whatever they desire. This happens inside animal farm by the pigs of the farm because they had many desires that only benefited themselves. Greed is represented in the story when the pigs are not satisfied with living in their sty, so they move into the farmhouse. They take their meals in the kitchen, use the drawing-room as a recreation room and sleep in the beds. They also start getting up an hour later than the other animals do (Animal Farm 66). Later in Animal Farm Squealer announces, "Napoleon demands four hundred eggs to be put for trade. " This was unfair to the chickens so they rebelled and got killed in the process. This represents greed because Napoleon only wanted to do this to get money for himself so he can put the other animals to work on some other project and then give the workers no rations to eat. Greed is essential to power because it gives leaders or people the lust for power and when they have a little taste of it they want to take all power.
