We will read and analyze George Orwell’s Animal Farm, paying particular attention to its allegorical nature. Orwell wrote the novel as an allegory for the Russian Revolution, but the story presents profound insights into the nature of any insidious tyranny and provides a strong warning against an uneducated and complacent populace. We will read the text, consider outside literature, and engage in lively discussion in order to deeply analyze the text.
