George Orwell, according to the statement in the essay, "Shooting an Elephant", felt confused, anguished and oppressed. He looked like a puppet manipulated by the people around him. Orwell felt ignored and hated by the crowd in the place, which was only interested in killing an aggressive elephant that had committed an attack on a Hindu, but who did not really want to shoot him but in the face of continuous oppression, he ends up doing it, an action that he finally carried out so as not to look bad with people.
<span>George Orwell was hesitant to kill the elephant,
but also felt that he needed to do his duty in a situation where he mustn’t show
any weakness to the townspeople. He had to be cruel and at the same time,
pitiful.</span>
