We can also indorse this in the quote ‘there was only one candidate Napoleon. This suggests that leadership is presented as an autocracy because of a single party rule. The deleterious adverb ‘unanimously’ insinuates without agreement or any need of discussion. This designates single party rule as no one wants to disagree with Napoleon’s party as they will face severe consequences. This is what every tyrant ensures as he doesn’t let anyone state their views and expects everyone to pay attention. This alludes to the manner in which dictatorship is presented in the book Animal Farm.

They do this because they don’t want to admit that they’re lost for words. This proves that Leadership is presented in Animal Farm through supreme hierarchy. We can link this to context as Stalin exiled Trotsky as he saw him as a threat in the supreme hierarchy. He ensured this because Trotsky had approximately the similar prestige as Stalin. We realize this through the quote that ‘all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others’. The catchphrase ‘all animals are equal’ signifies that everyone has the same supremacy in the pyramid but this is not really how it is. In fact, this is a way to signify how the animals with a higher rank
