    Quotes like these show the concerns that George Orwell is trying to portray about society in the novel Animal Farm. Orwell uses many literary techniques such as allegory, the use of a fable and satire. These styles are a contributing factor to help Orwell show some of the concerns about society like the need for human rights, the use of education and intelligence as tools of oppression and using violence and terror as a means of control. These three concerns can be seen in the competition and rivalry between Snowball and Napoleon. People argue that this novel is linked to the Russian Revolution as the events that happen between Snowball and Napoleon can be linked to the events that happened between Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky. Others argue that it is a timeless piece as George Orwell didn’t write a date as to when all these events where happening and how he guessed that these concerns will still be apparent today, and are still very apparent in today’s society.…
