Question

What are the different allegories of animals food that provides food?

Answer 1

allegory is a narrative that uses literary devices to unveil hidden meanings. At the time when Orwell's book was published, Animal Farm wasn't very popular because Russia was actually an ally to the western world in the fight against Hitler during World War II. Orwell himself wasn't always completely anti-communist. He was actually a socialist who supported the belief that industry should be controlled and owned by the workers for the good of everyone, not just the elite. It wasn't until he witnessed the corrupt evolution of Communist Russia, and how it departed from the initial goals, that he felt he should warn us of the dangers of unchecked authority. Orwell wanted to show the negative side of communism when it is taken too far. In this lesson, we'll take a look at how George Orwell critiqued Communist Russia through use of allegory.
