METAPHORS IN ANIMAL FARM BY GEORGE ORWELL

Abstract

George Orwell’s Animal Farm is widely celebrated for its sharp political commentary and its use of allegory and metaphor to explore the dynamics of power, corruption, and revolution. Metaphors play a crucial role throughout the novella, serving not only as literary devices but also as tools that deepen the impact of Orwell’s message. By employing metaphors, Orwell transforms a simple story about farm animals into a profound critique of totalitarian regimes and the betrayal of revolutionary ideals.
