Question 7 • FL-1001340-English 2 Sem 1 - Flex

How does the use of satire and irony support Orwell’s purpose? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Satire allows Orwell to criticize Soviet communism indirectly.
B
Orwell’s satire ridicules communism so that its faults can be revealed.
C
Orwell’s parody of Stalin through Napoleon makes Stalin seem sympathetic.
D
Irony allows Orwell to say things that are untrue because he is trying to amuse readers.
E
Orwell’s use of irony allows the reader to distinguish between appearances and realities.

Explanation

Satire lets Orwell criticize Soviet communism through a fictional farm, making his criticism indirect; it also ridicules the system so readers can recognize its faults. Irony highlights the gap between what characters claim and what is actually happening, helping readers distinguish appearances from reality. Napoleon’s parody of Stalin is meant to expose his tyranny, not make Stalin seem sympathetic, and irony is more than simply saying untrue things to amuse readers.
