The relationship between Snowball and Napoleon

After the rebellion on the Manor Farm, the two boars named Napoleon and Snowball emerge as the new leaders of the Farm. Both boars had very different views about how to lead the Farm which is now named Animal Farm.
Snowball on one side was careful, loyal and brave and always wanted the best for every animal on the farm. Napoleon on the other side was getting more and more rude and selfish. He only pursued his own interests and his well-being.
A good example for the different intentions of Napoleon and Snowball could be seen in their plans for the upcoming windmill. Snowball wanted to use the power of the windmill to do a big part of the work from the animals, so they would have to work much less. Also he wanted to get electric lights in the barns and heatings during winter. Napoleon's intentions on the other side where characterized by greed and egoism. He only wanted the windmill to increase his profit. He didn't want to let the animals work less and didn't want to use the electricity for more comfort in the barns.

Napoleon didn't like Snowball at all. He saw him as an enemy. He was frightened of losing his power, because Snowball was a much better leader and appealed more successful by the other animals. Whenever Snowball brought up a suggestion for vote, Napoleon automatically suggested the opposite of it, even if he wasn't interested in the subject of the vote. I interpreted this as a clear act of hate and detestation of Napoleon against Snowball. Snowball on the other hand accepted Napoleon as he accepted every other animal on the farm, even though Napoleon was his political enemy.
But sadly one day Napoleon chased Snowball away with his security force of nine big dogs.
Instead of a nice democratic system the animals had now to suffer under the dictatorship of Napoleon.
