Explanation:

The author's purpose in Chapter 7 of Animal Farm is to show Napoleon's tyrannical consolidation of power through fear, false confessions, and erasing Snowball's positive reputation.

• Napoleon uses the dogs as enforcers to maintain control, so their role executing his orders supports this.
• The false confessions from pigs and hens (framing Snowball) are tools Napoleon uses to eliminate dissent and villainize Snowball, aligning with his power grab.
• The humans destroying the windmill sets up Napoleon's ability to scapegoat Snowball, advancing the theme of his manipulative control.
• Boxer's refrain shows the animals' blind loyalty, which Napoleon exploits to stay in power.
• The animals' fear of Snowball (from Napoleon's propaganda) demonstrates his successful manipulation of their perceptions.
• The hens' upset over giving up eggs shows their resistance, which Napoleon will crush to maintain control, fitting the chapter's focus on his tyranny.
