In Animal Farm, the main antagonist is Napoleon. This becomes clear in Chapter Five when Napoleon forces Snowball to leave the farm as a result of their disagreements over the building of a windmill.
Once Snowball is gone, Napoleon begins the process of consolidating his power base. To do this, he uses Squealer's power of speech and his pack of guard dogs to ensure that the other animals obey his commands and do not attempt to speak out against him.
In Chapter Seven, the full force of Napoleon's power is apparent when he carries out a number of executions. This bloody act demonstrates the strength of his authority on the farm and the true horror of his reign.
By the end of the novel, his tyranny is made clear when the reader sees him walking on two legs and wearing human clothes. Napoleon has become the very evil that he helped to overthrow.
