Restoration Comedy was the result of a revival of the theatre 1660, aftering being banned during the Puritan days of England. 

The genre was quite raunchy for the time, and mocked many elements of contemporary British society, like Wilde's play did. It also did not attempt to impose a morality on its works, preferring rather to create art for the sake of art, like The Importance of Being Earnest.

Why does Orwell use allegory in Animal Farm? Select two options.
vitfil [10]

Answer:

George Orwell uses allegory in Animal Farm for the following purposes:

1. to expose the corruption of the communists in Russia

2. to represent the struggles of the labor class in Russia

Explanation:

In this well-known and widely read Animal Farm, the author employs allegories to freely give symbolic expressions to human figures and actions, using fictional figures, storytelling, and painting of truths in disguise.

Leaders of the Animal Farm come to power promising ideal conditions for the citizens. Before long, they fall into complacency because the temptation to live a more luxurious life and pursue personal interests is higher for leaders in power as they too often forget their campaign promises and backgrounds. The citizens must ensure that there are "checks and balances" to ensure that, for example, a democratically elected president "does not legislate from the bench."
