George Orwell appeals to pathos and uses imagery to give a satirical presentation of imperialism, showing it’s negative impact on both those governed and those who govern. Throughout the entire essay, the narrator expresses various feelings of hatred, fear, anxiety, and doubt. He resents the fact that hs is in a position of authority, yet mocked. He resents that he is forced to continue his career despite the fact that he detests British imperialism.
This quote showcases the specific way Orwell places his words to change the tone of this story. For example, in the quote it says that pigs are “generally recognized” as being the cleverest of animals. Orwell could have said that the pigs are the cleverest of animals, but he did not. This causes the reader to think: what if the pigs are not the most intelligent? What if the pigs manipulate the animals into thinking they are the most intelligent?
Years passed. The seasons came and went; the short animal lives fled by. Mr. Jones had passed away in a nursing home. The memories of the rebellion and those who nobly fought for it had long passed from the minds of the animals. The few who remembered it where old and frail.
“Several nights a week, after Mr. Jones was asleep, they held secret meetings in the barn and expounded the principles of Animalism to the others” (13). This is important because
Orwell’s vision of a totalitarian authority is indeed a “nightmare” if matched against the writings of Steven Stoll and W. Lutz who offer a more useful theoretical and political outlook on modern capitalist societies. Stoll differs with Orwell about the drivers of production. As aforementioned, Orwell seems to believe marketing techniques or rather the advertising approaches such as the use of slogans contributes a lot to drive the rate of consumption. In his study, Orwell asserts that persuasive language used by business persons tends to compel consumers to purchase goods and services involuntarily or rather engage in impulse buying.
As both texts work to display the corrupting effects of power on societies the hierarchy is established through intimidation of the public. As Orwell illustrates the injustice emerging on the farm he emphasizes this idea through the use of Napoleons “The Nine Dogs” in which he raises to be his own ‘army’ (Orwell 23). This proves particularly important to the overall theme of the novel as the dogs represent the fear and this unstoppable force that cannot be broken. Much like struggle of power throughout the text, the dogs work to instill fear into the public and ultimately protect Napoleon. Essentially, the dogs are acting as means to maintain this abuse of power as they work to protect the hierarchy and ultimately intimidate the other animals.
Scene 1—Summary (25-28): After Major dies three nights later, the animals, whereas unsure when the uprising will occur, spend their days planning the Rebellion in secret. Among the pigs who are considered the most intelligent, Snowball and Napoleon are the two leaders of the revolution. While Napoleon has a reputation for always getting what he wants despite not speaking much, Snowball is considered more eloquent and creative (25). A third pig that plays the assisting role, Squealer, is extremely articulate and persuasive, and others think of him as one who is able to “turn black into white” (26). These three pigs try to explicate the fundamentals of “Animalism,” an ideology that they develop from old Major’s teachings, to other animals through secret meetings held several nights a week (26).
ALl the power is in my hands, and I can do anything I want. The animals think I am a god, and the pigs follow my lead. The animals have had their lowest rations ever, and their production has soared through the roof. However, Boxer, the hardest worker of all, has sustained an injury that will prevent him from working.

Animal Farm, A Dystopian Society Dystopian societies involve bloodshed, espionage, and countless tragedies among the citizens of the society. The goal of creating a successful society is very difficult to accomplish due to the amount of criteria a society must meet to become successful. A utopia is a society where everything is perfect and everyone is happy, while a dystopia is a society where everyone is under complete control and the government is often conniving. Animal farm can be portrayed as a dystopian society due to the farm’s cunning, but evil, leader and the multiple traits of dystopian societies that can be clearly seen on the farm. The propaganda used by Squealer in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, as well as the frowned upon dissent and false fantasy of the farm being a utopia, prove that The Animal Farm is a dystopian society.
Imagine a community with no hate, no war, and no famine. A place where everyone is accepted and everything is better than imaginable. This idea of perfection is known as a utopia, an ideal society. A utopia is known as a successful, perfect society. A place where everything goes right for everyone that lives there.
Published in 1945, Animal Farm is a satirical dystopian novella written by English author George Orwell, and is perhaps his best known work. An allegorical tale, Animal Farm tells a literal story - of the animals on the farm - that is intended to be representative of another situation - Stalin 's rise in the Soviet Union. Animal Farm opens on Manor Farm, where animals are subservient to their human master, a farmer named Jones. One night an aged boar called Old Manor calls a meeting of his fellow animals, and puts forth the call that they should one day rise up in rebellion against the humans who enslave them. Old Manor suggests that once humans have been overthrown, no animal should act like a human by sleeping in a bed, wearing clothes, drinking alcohol, or engaging in trade.
