Examples Of Dystopia In Animal Farm By George Orwell
In dystopian literature, an author’s form of writing can greatly impact the overall feel.
In Animal Farm, George Orwell creates a world of rebbellion gone wrong as the pig leaders on an old farm begin to take total control. They create fear and laws for the benefit of themselves, and lead the other animals in a depressing life. Since the animals are very naive, they never notice the crumpling of their society. Orwell also creates a world of totalitarian equality in the dystopian novel 1984. The government sees all and controls all to keep its people in line as they live in dire wastelands of past lands, relying on their rulers ot defend and protect. Those who rebel are crushed by the party and are mentally disfigured to meet the party’s demands. …show more content…
Boxer, the hardest working and best example of the perfect citizen in Animal Farm, repeats his slogan to the other animals to encourage them to believe in their leader, Napoleon.” ‘Ah, that is different!’ said Boxer. ‘If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right “(82). Whatever Napoleon says to do, Boxer will accomplish. Boxer is Napoleon’s best chance to impact the animals’ thoughts, as they look up to him for assurance and guidance. This makes it easier for the animals to believe in the deliberate lies Napoleon Speaks. Napoleon can efficiently control his population so that they can suffer through work as he reaps the profits, leading to a dismal life for the animals. Boxer also uses another slogan to keep him and the other animals motivated, as Orwell writes,” At such times his lips were seen to form the words, ‘I will work harder’; he had no voice left” (118). Boxer is worked so much by Napoleon and his slogan that he is on the brink of death. This leads to the reader understanding just how hard the animals are working, for very little rewards, since their rations are being cut time after time. This anaphora also equates to more control by Napoleon, because the animals are driven to work more. Hopelessness is installed in their harsh daily lives as their work has no benefits to a better future, but to a dull and bleak one
