    Satire In Animal Farm

    • 707 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Because of his cleverness and superior vocabulary, Squealer attracts many farm animals, who begin to trust him and allow him to brainwash them without questioning. For instance, Squealer convinces the farm animals that apples and milk should be only consumed by the pigs because the regular animals are replaceable. On the contrary, the pigs, who are the "brain workers" are the foundation of the well-being of all animals on the farm, and without the pigs, Mr. Jones, the former owner of the farm, would come back. This simple act instills low self-esteem in the animals who do not understand their power on the farm. Since the uneducated animals forgot their lifestyle when Mr. Jones owned them, Squealer reads false statistics with incorrect information to make the animals believe that they have larger rations and an improved lifestyle. Exploiting the trust the animals have given him, Squealer modifies the original seven commandments to benefit the pigs, but when questioned, claims the memories of the animals were at fault. As a leader, he alters history for Napolean's benefit. In the Battle of the Cowshed, a battle in which Mr. Jones tried to regain control of the farm again, Squealer changes the story by stating Snowball, or Trotsky, allied with Mr. Jones, and Napolean fought the humans. However, this…

    “You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in the spirit of selfishness and privilege?..It is for your sake that we drink milk and those apples...Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Mr. Jones would come back.” (Orwell 26). Squealer, under the rule of the pigs, is not only convincing the animals to let them have the milk and apples by misleading them to believe they are the only ones who need the milk and apples. But also threatening the animals of their previous problem, their abusive owner from before, Mr. Jones. This pig may be like some humans, as he would deceive someone into believing they are helping, but the…
