Topic > Literary Analysis of Animal Farm by George Orwell

“When I sit down to write a book, I don't say to myself 'I'm going to produce a work of art.' I write because there is some lie I want to expose and some fact I want to draw attention to…” George Orwell investigated themes of power, totalitarianism and leadership in relation to Marxist theories in his novels, but he seemed to direct them to a diverse audience. . Investigates the extent to which Orwell alters the communication of the lies he wishes to expose and how they are conveyed to the reader through literary devices. Literature is an essential part of today's society and allows communication between multiple parties in written form. Texts can provide extensive knowledge on content-dependent topics, while novels are often seen solely as entertainment and entertainment. However it can often be seen that the prose, although the animals follow a gradual decline, Animal Farm is written in a friendly style with a matter-of-fact tone. Orwell's characterization emotionally connects the reader to the characters through simplistic descriptions that draw on sympathy when they are labeled "weak" (Orwell, Animal Farm, 1945). Alongside this simplistic style, Orwell's matter-of-fact tone reflects the characters' inability to respond to events and depicts the severity of the outcome. Boxer, often used as a figure of sympathy for his hard work, is taken away from the farm and “quickly disappears along the way” (Orwell, Animal Farm, 1945) while the others look on in despair. This becomes a high point in the narrative and contrasts with the friendly style that Orwell had used to increase the readers' emotional involvement. Although aimed at a younger audience, Orwell ensures that his views are not altered and finds methods in his work to convey the lies he most wishes to expose.
