Scene Summary and Context Guide
In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the animals overthrow their human farmer in order to establish an egalitarian society based on equality and shared labour. However, the pigs, who assume leadership roles, manipulate language and information to consolidate power, often employing propaganda to sway the other animals. A key scene involves the pigs altering the commandments engraved on the barn to justify their actions and maintain control. The language used by the pigs is often persuasive, crafted to obscure truth and foster blind loyalty. Short phrases like 'Four legs good, two legs bad' become slogans that simplify complex issues, making propaganda more effective. Orwell’s narrative demonstrates how propaganda can distort reality, making it appear as if the pigs’ actions are justified, even when they contradict earlier principles of equality. Students should pay attention to the techniques of language manipulation, repetition, and the alteration of facts to understand how propaganda functions within the story and influences characters' perceptions.
