Animal Farm Setting Analysis

All writers want their novels to be easily perceived. As a matter of fact, setting which refers to the external and internal context of a text is an inevitable tool for writers. So, setting shapes the characters and mirrors their beliefs, ideas and laws. For instance, the force of setting in Animal Farm by George Orwell and The Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass conduces to the birth of fluctuating laws.

The setting in Animal Farm and The Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass evinces how powerful the impact it has on the characters and their beliefs is. The most compelling example is the fact that following the setting, the treatment of the oppressed class varies. However one can easily notice that the

In fact, the narrator claims in Chapter VI, page 22 that “A city slave is almost a freeman, compared with a slave on the plantation”. In fact unlike slaves on the plantation, he is “much better fed and clothed, and enjoy privileges unknown to the slave on the plantation” (Chapter VI, page 22).

Throughout these examples, we can see how setting changes the character’s minds and their actions. Setting conduces to the creation of mutable laws. Because as evinced in the legendary treatment of slaves in America, we can note how the setting changes easily the inevitable laws. From the campaign to the city, inescapable laws are such that the atrocious treatment of slaves is different. One can see that In Animal Farm, the force of setting operates again on the oppressed class.

In fact, the setting gives the aptitude of thinking and talking to animals. It indeed changes inevitable laws by giving human capacities to animals. These capacities further make animals think of their oppressive conditions.

“Now, comrades, what is the nature of this life of

The company had been enjoying a game of cards, but had broken of the moment, evidently in order to drink a toast. A large jug was circulating and.” (Chapter 10, page 78, lines 9-13)

This shows how the setting has an impact on the reader’s impression of the text as they have another vision of reality though treating of real world’s issues. In the case of Animal farm, the image of the pigs becoming exactly like humans in their behavior and, even later in their shape treats of the totalitarian system while giving an interesting image to the readers. The inevitable laws such as animals do not think and are different from mankind become then changed when the setting does. All in all, the study of the importance of setting in The Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass and Animal Farm shows how its power conduces to the breaking down of inescapable laws such as the social class hierarchy. In fact the universal law is such that on one hand animals and slaves represent the oppressed class and, on the other hand humans represent the oppressing class. But throughout the variation of these inescapable laws due to the change in the setting, one can easily perceive the power of
