    Animal Farm is a fable that represents Stalinism in Russia. Also‚ it can be related to how many world leaders‚ and politicians get away with things that others don’t because of their position in the world.

    satirist George Orwell masterfully incorporates symbolism into his work fabricated within simple tales of fantasy and delight. On the surface these works seem mild almost childlike.

Therefore these pieces of literature are not mere stories but caricatures romanticized with words. ‘1984’ and ‘Shooting an Elephant’ are all examples of his
