Read the passage from animal farm.

a cry of lamentation went up. straw was laid down outside the doors of the farmhouse, and the animals walked on tiptoe. with tears in their eyes they asked one another what they should do if their leader were taken away from them. a rumour went round that snowball had after all contrived to introduce poison into napoleon’s food. at eleven o’clock squealer came out to make another announcement. as his last act upon earth, comrade napoleon had pronounced a solemn decree: the drinking of alcohol was to be punished by death.

how does the use of scapegoating support the theme in this passage?

even dictators will be mourned by those they oppressed for years.
it is common for dictators to fear attacks by enemies both real and invented.
dictators will blame an invisible foe for problems in order to explain events.
most problems are caused by those who have been cast away for causing harm.

Dictators will blame an invisible foe for problems in order to explain events.

Explanation:

Scapegoating is often used by dictators to justify their decisions, whether the scapegoat is a real threat or not. In the passage, Napoleon bans the consumption of alcohol, a decision which really has little to do with the events in the story but is rather motivated by Napoleon's interests to control the farm. However, by using Snowball as a scapegoat, Napoleon can justify his decision without causing uproar from the other animals. A similar example in the real world would be a president banning products from another company by stating that their products are used for espionage when the decision is rather motivated by reducing the power and income of the other country.

Napoleon is using snowball as an escape goat in the situation Napoleon is scared that the animals will rebelled against him and realize that he is causing all their problems and so he's blaming snowball for his actions and turning the animals against snowball so that the blame Beyond him therefore making snowball an escape goat no snowball has not done anything wrong

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
