In Chapter 3 of “Animal Farm,” the pigs assume leadership roles, taking privileges like milk and apples, which they justify as necessities for their intellectual work. Other animals contribute to the farm’s success, although there are signs of inequality, such as Napoleon keeping the dogs’ pups for himself and the limited education for the masses. Tensions arise as Snowball and Napoleon’s differing educational approaches highlight emerging power struggles, setting the stage for the upcoming “Battle of the Cowshed” in Chapter 4.
