Animal Farm
George Orwell                                                  Film
1945 (written during WWII)                       1954
not about a real farm                                   animated drama film

"Animal Farm is an allegory, which is a story in which concrete and specific characters and situations stand for other characters and situations (real life) so as to make a point about them. The main action of Animal Farm stands for the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the early years of the Soviet Union."

Why George Orwell is as relevant today as ever
  • He is perhaps the most influential British author of the 20th century
  • He contributed memorable phrases to the English language
  • His greatest influence beyond his two classic novels (Animal Farm & 1984) was as a prose stylist.
  • 1984 is a reminder of the threat to democracy posed by those with power who proclaim ‘alternative facts’ and deny objective truths.

Animal Farm is an allegory
  • An allegory is a story in which simple characters are made to represent ideas or the ways particular types of people might behave in the real world;
  • They are often simple stories or fairy tales;
  • It is like an extended metaphor – one subject representing another; 
  • For an allegory to be effective it must be subtle yet obvious to the reader what the object of writing is.
