It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a troubled lover, sketching the man's fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. The raven seems to further distress the protagonist with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of folk, mythological, religious, and classical references. In his Poem The Raven, like in most of his work, Poe depicts horror and a sense of schizophrenia, but his short story deals primarily with the psychology of guilt.

How does Orwell use satirical techniques to develop the theme that the abuse of language is part of the abuse of power? Select t

Aliun [14]

Answer:

Orwell uses satirical reversal when Napoleon and the pigs act against their stated principles.

Orwell uses verbal irony when Animal Farm takes on its original name, The Manor Farm.

Explanation:

Satirical techniques are those language techniques used by writers to make their stories or characters seem more or less of what they are and also present an image of what they are like. They may include elements such as irony, hyperbole, exaggeration, ,etc.

In the allegorical novel Animal Farm, George Orwell employs this technique to satirize the abuse of language and how it has been used to show an abuse of power. This is achieved through the satirical reversal of roles or ideals where Napoleon and his 'follower' pigs act against their very own stated principles. Moreover, he uses verbal irony to bring about the name of the farm as Animal Farm from the original name of Manor Farm. These two instances prove that the abuse of language is also part of the abuse of power.
