Explanation:

The excerpt shows Napoleon abandoning Snowball’s promised luxuries (electric stalls, 3-day week) and redefining Animalism to prioritize hard work over the animals’ original dreams. Orwell uses satire to highlight the gap between the revolution’s promises and the pigs’ actual rule, exposing how the changes contradict initial ideals.
