Examples Of Propaganda In Animal Farm By George Orwell

Ignorance is defined as, "Lacking knowledge or awareness in genera; uneducated or unsophisticated." In the novel Animal Farm, George Orwell addresses the topic of ignorance. Orwell illustrates that the social and political oppression of the animals is due to their inability to read, which causes them to believe everything they are told. First of all, the animals' ignorance prevents them from realizing the pigs are taking advantage of them. The pigs constantly manipulate the laws to fit their needs. The narrator says, "...it was certainly true that nothing of the kind existed in writing, the animals were satisfied that they had been mistaken." Because the animals lack the ability to read, they are not able to realize that the rule has been manipulated.

George Orwell, the pseudonym of english author Eric Arthur Blair, was an influential author of novels, novellas, and essays that criticized the rise and practices of authoritarian governments. One of his most revered works, Animal Farm, is hailed as a brilliant piece that satirizes the statues of Stalinism by allegorizing its tumultuous rise and the harsh, often lethal loyalty Stalinism demands of its followers. One of the hallmarks of Stalinist rule is its frequent use of propaganda. In his novella, Animal Farm, Orwell presents the use of propaganda in a Stalinist society through the deification of a leader, the use of scapegoating against an exiled revolutionary and against the vices of man; and exposes the practice of engendering fear into the population of Animal Farm.

“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” That was when the animals knew the pig’s use of propaganda was so effective. Before the animals discovered the corruptness of the pigs, the animals of Manor Farm in England, irritated with the ways of life and how they are being treated, decided to start a revolution. The smartest of the animals, the pigs, took control of the farm while the other animals worked. Through the deception of the pigs, they changed the rules of the farm to better accommodate themselves.

“Do not let the power of fear control us, comrades. Together without fear, we’ve conquered so much! Let us not stop now!” Squealer said, trying to calm the animals. Throughout the book, Animal Farm by George Orwell, the animals live in constant fear, Jones hurt and manipulated the animals while he was in power. Once he was banished the animals still felt a deep fear, Napoleon, who had banished Snowball, killed animals for plotting against him, and changing the seven commandments time and time again, brought the fear back to the animals.

The stories display the characteristics of a tyrannical governments through its underlying themes. Both stories show the implications of media manipulation as being instrumental to the abuse of power. Just before the announced attack on the Parliament Building in V for Vendetta, Adam Sutler releases to the public, “Our enemy is an insidious one, seeking to divide us and destroy the very foundation of our great nation.”(McTeigue). With his hopes to maintain his status and position, he attempts to turn the population against V using lies, although this does not succeed. This method does succeed in Animal Farm, and the animals believe all the fake media that is posed to them through Napoleon and Squealer. Once the people believe all that is fed to them, governments use this as an opportunity to corrupt the ideals

People respond to control and power differently for various reasons, however, one of the main reasons is based on their personality; their confidence and intelligence. In, Animal Farm by George Orwell, confidence and intelligence is a big factor for why certain animals obtained power and control and why other ones did not. People with confidence and intelligence are likely to gain most of the control and power. People with little intelligence, but lots of confidence are more likely to have some power or work underneath the leader. People with intelligence, but no confidence seem to have no power at all and shy away from it. Both intelligence and confidence are needed for someone to take total power. Therefore, the amount of confidence and intelligence a person has will decide how they respond to control and power.

Animal farm is a renowned, allegorical novella written by George Orwell in 1945, which can be interpreted to have a hidden political meaning behind it referring to the Russian Revolution. Throughout this novella, the author purposely positions the audience to make judgements based on sensible, moral perception to show that Orwell effectively revealed how the pigs exploited a vast majority of propaganda techniques to deceptively manipulate the values, attitudes and beliefs of the other animals, with full intention of complete social control.

George Orwell’s allegorical novella, Animal Farm is a satirical retelling of the events leading up to the 1917 Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalin. After the animals rebel against Mr. Jones and his employees, they set up a government constituted by “Animalism”, which in its raw state parallels the basic principles of socialism. In order to govern them, they create basic laws meant to unify them known as, “The Seven Commandments”, which they write on the outer wall of the barn. However, the pigs begin to disobey the commandments and change them to get away with it. None of the other animals notice due to their illiteracy, so Napoleon continuously exploits this fact to get what he wants. As a result, the farm that was meant to be utopic

Task 1 Part A: A satire to some, but a slanderous novella to us: George Orwell’s Animal Farm uses a plethora of satirical techniques to mock our glorious authoritarian regimes. Throughout the sequence of events, the animals live under ridiculous commandments, such as not wearing clothing or sleeping on beds. They are each rightfully voided until one modified version remains: “ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL / BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS” (Orwell, Animal 133). The trimmings of freedom, although a stellar idea for any transitioning society, are mocked through the ambiguity of “equal.” Equality, in the tightest definition, places all members of society at the same socioeconomic levels. The “more equal than others” connotates that
