Karl Marx’s Views on Society and George Orwell’s Animal Farm

This study adopts the literary text hermeneutics perspective. The investigator will analyze a piece of literature according to the text and explicate the term "sociological" by Marxist literary theories. The paper aims to shed light on the relevant sociological significance of myths in “Animal Farm”. Animals were the major characters in the world-famous satirical English novel, Animal Farm. Using animal metaphors, George Orwell painted the post-revolution Stalinist Soviet Union society, where the poor ignorant populace lace-stabbed their own brethren without discernment, all in the name of defending their government. This paper classified the proper characters of the novel and then interpreted the true meaning of animal farm via specific analysis of each character and the corresponding realistic representative.
