How did slaves in Ancient Greece differ from models of slavery in later societies?

How did slaves in Ancient Greece differ from models of slavery in later societies?

Answer- Slavery was not connected with race in the ancient world. People were slaves because their side lost a recent war or as punishment for a crime (something still theoretically allowed in the US). They were not necessarily of a different race to the slave owners.

People didn’t necessarily see slaves as inferior. Slaves were sometimes employed as secretaries and tutors and it was prestigious to own an intelligent, educated, slave.

Read the excerpt from chapter 10 of Animal Farm.
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The reader knows that Mr. Pilkington is praising a  flawed and brutal system.

Explanation:

Dramatic irony is when the audience or readers know something about the scene and would expect it to happen which the characters in the story or scene seem to have no idea. The speech and behavior of the characters will contradict the upcoming event, which the readers or viewers can predict but not by the characters in the story.

In the given excerpt from chapter 10 from “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, we see Mr. Pilkington give a speech about how much he and his human friends have regarded the way Animal Farm was run by Napoleon. He is seen praising the brutal system that was the basis of how the farm was run and also promised that he along with his fellow humans will institute the same system in their own farms. And through his speech,<u> we as readers, know that Mr. Pilkington was praising a system that is both brutal and flawed. </u>
