Question

In Animal Farm, George Orwell consistently utilizes a variety of figurative language in order to represent his larger message, related to _____. A. the Russian Revolution. B. his love for his home country. C. his American patriotism. D. revolts in Nazi Germany.

Answer 1

The answer is A. The Russian revolution. The whole book is about it. Each of the animals represents an important person from that time.

Answer 2

Answer: A. the Russian Revolution.

Animal Farm by George Orwell makes extensive use of figurative language in order to present a critique of the Russian Revolution. The rebellion that the animals start is meant to be a parallel to this war, and the animals are meant to be the peasants, who wanted to appropriate the means of production. Orwell argues that, although the war's objectives were not altogether wrong, the revolution implemented a system in which peasants continue to be abused while the power is still concentrated in the hands of a few.
