Animal Farm Observation

I've never seen a good example of one person having complete control over everything. Napoleon in Animal Farm is a good reminder of this. Most of the time, things start out well when a leader takes control, but as time progresses, the power of leadership almost always get out of hand. Leaders start abusing their power and believe their citizens should follow their every word. In Animal Farm, Napoleon is seen training his own "warriors" (the dogs) in order to keep the other animals of the farm in line. He calls the shots, he decides what's right and wrong. He believes he was chosen to lead, and that all great ideas should come from him. When the animals protest at all, he deceives them and, if needed, gets rid of the problem. This is a good example on how power can get out of hand.
