Napoleon and Snowball are two of the main characters in the story. Both pigs, Napoleon being of larger size but Snowball being more articulate and able to come up with more ideas and is very vivid. Both characters strive for the title of "leader" after Mr. Jones is removed from the farm. Both agree on their theory of "animalism" and their seven commandments by which the farm shall be run, but agree on very little else.

Snowball, can be viewed as the protaganist character as he wishes to further the farm with his idea of the windmill to produce electricity for the animals and other such things. Napoleon, who thirts for power, convinces the animals that Snowball has plotted with Mr. Jones and is conceived as the bad guy to the animals and is removed from the farm by the 9 dogs taken from their mother earlier in the story.


With the good nature of Snowball gone, the pigs begin to "manage" the farm and use that as an excuse to allow themselves more food. The pigs also later move into the farmhouse and do other things which were forbidden in the original "Commandments."
The animals speak up against this and see that the "Commandments" have been changed to suit their needs.


So as you can see their styles of leading are very differnt as Snowball in honesty wanted to bring good to the farm whereas Napoleon chose to lie and mislead the animals to have things in his manner.
