George Orwell’s “Shooting an Elephant”, which was written in 1936 posits that “when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys'' (7). Orwell supports his statement through an overarching allegory to colonialism, ambivalent diction, and extended metaphor of one's free will and power. His purpose is to show the complex nature of imperialism and the negative impact it has- not on the subjected peoples- but on the imperialists as well, in order to reveal to the audience that it is an institution of suffering for everyone involved. He conveys his point by explaining the feeling of the pressure of being forced to do what they want him to do despite the fact that it goes against his moral judgement. He undergoes the feeling of being in a position of power and therefore must do what the people want him to do and care for what the other people think of him. Orwells casual and colloquial diction suggests his audience was intended to be broad and varie, in order to ensure the reach of his social commentary.
