What is Squealer’s primary role in Animal Farm?

Squealer’s primary role in "Animal Farm" is to serve as the propaganda minister. He is responsible for communicating and manipulating information to influence the perceptions of the other animals on the farm. His role is crucial in maintaining the authority of the pigs, especially Napoleon, as he uses rhetoric, statistics, and persuasive language to justify the pigs' actions and decisions, often to the detriment of the other animals. Squealer skillfully distorts the truth and rewrites history to ensure that the pigs remain in power and to quell any dissent among the other animals. Through his propaganda efforts, he reinforces the idea that the pigs are always working in the best interests of all animals, even when their actions suggest otherwise. This manipulation of information highlights the themes of power, control, and the use of language in the novel.
