How does Orwell use satire in this passage? Here it became apparent that Mr. Pilkington was about to spring some carefully prepa

red witticism on the company, but for a moment he was too overcome by amusement to be able to utter it. After much choking, during which his various chins turned purple, he managed to get it out: "If you have your lower animals to contend with,” he said, "we have our lower classes!” This bon mot set the table in a roar; and Mr. Pilkington once again congratulated the pigs on the low rations, the long working hours, and the general absence of pampering which he had observed on Animal Farm.

This question is missing the options. I've found them online:

How does Orwell use satire in this passage?

a) to present the opposite of the normal order of things

b) to mimic the situation directly to produce a comical effect

c) to expose and condemn the corruption and character flaws of the pigs

d) to exaggerate Mr. Pilkington’s kindness toward the animals on the farm

Answer:

Orwell uses satire in this passage to:

c) to expose and condemn the corruption and character flaws of the pigs

Explanation:

"Animal Farm" is an allegorical novella by George Orwell. It was written as a criticism of the Soviet regime to which Russia was subjected by Stalin. Orwell himself was a democratic-socialist.

The excerpt we are analyzing here was taken from the final chapter of the book. It portrays a meeting between the pigs from Animal Farm and Mr. Pilkington. <u>The animals from the farm tried to establish a fair and equal society after expelling their human owner. However, after becoming the leaders of the new society, the pigs realized their position gave them advantages. Soon, they became more and more similar to humans. They began to exploit the other animals, creating a clear distinction between themselves and the others. They also began to trade with the very humans they once despised. In this excerpt, Pilkington is complimenting the pigs on the way they treat the animals that are below them in social hierarchy. The fact that a corrupt human is complimenting the pigs serves to expose the pigs' corruption and character flaws.</u>

D. Parallelism
The answer is parallelism because the structure of this excerpt stays consistent throughout these three sentences, it starts off with "it does not" in each sentence which creates a structure.
