The story is told by an anonymous, omniscient third-person narrator who does not have any bias or opinions throughout the novella. The story is also told from the point of view of the animals living on Animal Farm and their inner thoughts are shared with the reader. Napoleon is the only character whose inner thoughts are not directly stated which gives his character a secretive, selfish appearance. The point of view allows the audience to experience and judge various character's feelings and motivations throughout the story. The audience is aware of Napoleon and the other pigs' motivation to oppress the lower class animals, while most of the animals are too ignorant or scared to oppose Napoleon's leadership. Orwell's decision to tell the story using a third-person narrator creates an objective view of the events happening on the farm from various perspectives. The reader can predict Napoleon's totalitarian rise to power while the animals continue to obey his increasingly unequal government policies.
