Who's To Blame?

The animals are to blame for the pigs' rise to power. One of the reasons why the animals are in this situation is because they let themselves be intimidated and silenced by the dogs. After Snowball was expelled from Animal Farm, four young pigs sought to speak out against Napoleon, but were too afraid. As their fellow animals were executed before their very eyes, they did nothing to save them. Another reason why it is the animal's fault is because Boxer is Napoleon's advocate and they all respect him. The animals love Boxer because he always wakes up earlier than everyone just to get a head start on the day's work. Adding onto his original maxim of "I will work harder!" he also says "Napoleon is always right." A third reason why it is the animal's fault is because they work for Napoleon. Even after they realized that they weren't getting nough food and it required them to do a lot of extra work, they still built it anyways. After their second windmill was destroyed by the humans, they're stupid enough to try to rebuild it a third time. The animals let the pigs take advantage of them and that is why their situation is so bad.
