In Orwell's novel <em>Animal Farm </em>the choice in setting is a decisive factor when constructing the allegory that the text is trying to convey. The farm, once ruled by humans and later ruled by the pigs is called Manor Farm. Each part of the farm has special symbolism and contributes to the deeper meaning of the novel. Each part will be described and analyzed in the following essay.
It's important to analyze the farm as a whole in order to understand the significance that the setting truly contains. The Manor Farm is used as a metaphor for communist Russia in this particular case, but could be applied to any society since its organized and ruled in the same manner a country would be. It also contains a series of complex relationships between the characters and their role within this society.
Inside the general setting, The Manor Farm, there are multiple spaces that contribute to the construction of the metaphor. The barn,for example symbolizes the oppression enforced by the ruling class (the pigs). The Seven Commandments are written on the walls of this barn, and later altered to suit the pig's interests. The windmill is another part of the setting that contains a deeper meaning. The pigs manipulate the rest of the animals into reconstructing the windmill even though there are more pressing needs at hand. The windmill is a perfect example of the greed and shrewdness that characterizes the ruling class.
In conclusion, the author uses the setting choice as an effective tool to construct the metaphor within the text. Orwell uses the farm as an allegory for communist Russia, and the spaces inside it to criticize the tyranny that sets it apart. Spaces such as the barn and the windmill are symbols of the abuse that unlimited power can lead to and aid in the construction of the mayor themes that the novel contains.
