Explanation:
Orwell uses irony in this excerpt by showing how the animals goal at the beginning was to drive Mr. Jones away from the farm and establish there own society, Animalism, but ended in chapter 10 with their original commandments changed to one statement: “ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS. (Four legs good, two legs better.),there is no longer Equality between animals and they are all ruled by their dictator- leader, Napoleon, who (as well as the pigs), begin to act like humans. Here Orwell implies that there is no real difference between the two, which is how he uses irony in this excerpt.
