gullibility. In Animal Farm‚ Orwell uses the characters Boxer and Clover to embody this characteristic; this is especially clear when Orwell writes‚ “Having once accepted the pigs as their teachers‚ they absorbed everything that they were told‚ and passed it on to the other animals” (Orwell 37). Without using reason to analyze the pigs intentions and motifs‚ the horses are unable to realize that they are being manipulated into helping the pigs complete their plans to enslave the other animals.

Animal Farm’s Satire Orwell uses satire as a genre for Animal Farm. He accomplishes this by using the animals to represent different people in Russian society. For example‚ Old Major symbolizes Marx and Lenin‚ Snowball represents Trotsky‚ and Napoleon embodies Stalin. One example of satire in Animal Farm is when Napoleon uses military power to keep the other animals under his control‚ exactly as Stalin had. He first showed this power by having his dogs execute anyone who had had any contact

Enemy In George Orwell’s Animal Farm‚ the form of propaganda with the most impact is the use of pinpointing the enemy. First‚ the pigs in charge point an accusatory finger at Jones and all of humanity‚ and claim they are the root of all their problems. At the beginning of the book during Old Major’s speech he cries that‚ “Man is the only real enemy we have‚” in an attempt to turn the animals against Jones (Orwell 7). If this goes as planned it will inspire the animals to one day revolt against

Orwell wrote Animal Farm in 1946. At this time‚ World War II had just concluded. The Russian Revolution had recently occurred as well. The Russian Revolution was a time period in which the laboring class was over worked‚ and the ruling class was pampered. Workers held riots and resented their factory owners.
