As he looks back at the events narrated in "Shooting an Elephant," Orwell admits that he shot the elephant because he did not want to appear foolish or weak in front of the crowd. Orwell realized that he had been compelled to shoot the elephant because of his position as a colonial military officer. With a Burmese audience watching, he felt obligated to shoot the elephant and uphold his place in the colonial system, even though he did not particularly care to shoot the elephant.

What does in medias resmean

ad-work [718]

In medias res means in the middle of the action.

In medias res is a literary term that is used to refer to a text that starts in the middle of the plot instead of starting with the beginning of the story. When writers employ in medias res, they usually present the events that happened before by means of flashbacks or dialogue. Famous literary works such as Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and Shakespeare's Hamlet begin in medias res; in other words, they go straight to the heart of the plot.
