Animal Farm, Part 1: Satire

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

Which statement best explains why Orwell used fable, allegory, and satire to write Animal Farm?

Answer
A
He did not want his readers to take the story too seriously and believed that using animals would achieve this purpose.
B
He was afraid that British readers would be offended if he mentioned the Soviet Union specifically, so he chose to write an allegory.
C
He wanted to portray the Soviet Union as an oppressive, totalitarian regime, and he wanted to make the connections clear and obvious.
D
He wanted to reach a wider audience by addressing the themes of oppression, suffering, and injustice without explicitly referring to current events.

Explanation

Orwell uses the farm and its animals to represent political events and systems, allowing him to criticize oppression, suffering, and injustice without naming the Soviet Union directly. This allegorical approach also lets the story speak to broader issues beyond one historical moment. Choice C is tempting because the book does criticize the Soviet regime, but its method is indirect rather than making every connection explicit.
