A HISTORICAL APPROACH TO "ANIMAL FARM" BY GEORGE ORWELL

George Orwell's "Animal Farm" is more than just a simple tale of barnyard animals; it is a profound political allegory that explores the dynamics of power, corruption, and the impact of education in the context of the Soviet Union's history. By employing a historical approach, we can better understand how Orwell's novella serves as a critique of totalitarian regimes, particularly Stalinist Russia, and how it reflects the broader socio-political environment of the 20th century. By using vague language, implementing fear tactics, and creating manipulative laws, leaders convinced the populace of their lies, which served their interests. The simplicity of the people made them easily persuaded, even though power could have been used to benefit the entire Soviet population. This study employs a historical approach to analyze the research.
