Scene Summary and Context

In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the animals overthrow their human owner and establish their own society, but the pigs manipulate the truth to consolidate power. This manipulation is akin to how advertising in pop culture often uses propaganda to influence public opinion—think of how celebrities endorse products or how movies portray villains as entirely evil to sway viewer perceptions. The novel illustrates how language and symbols are used as tools of control, much like how movie franchises or social media campaigns craft messages to shape attitudes. For example, the phrase 'Four legs good, two legs bad' becomes a slogan that simplifies complex ideas, similar to catchphrases used in pop culture to promote brands or ideologies. Orwell's depiction of propaganda reveals its power to distort reality, a theme that resonates with the way modern media can influence perceptions of characters, brands, and even political figures. Recognizing these techniques helps us understand both the narrative of Animal Farm and the messages in contemporary pop culture that surround us daily.
