ABSTRACT

Animal Farm is a famous novel written by the British writer George Orwell. This work creates a war world about animals with a lot of satirical art by using various rhetorical techniques such as irony, metonymy, simile and so on. It has experienced the uprising of animals, the rehabilitation of animals, and the final ending of destruction, which reflects many uprising stories in human history. The root cause of the ultimate destruction is due to the most fundamental weakness of human nature, that is, human inferiority. It is caused by people who will eventually be swallowed up by their own desires and greed. His works have cruel satirical intentions, such as Napoleon, snowball, boxer and animalism and so on. And this series of intentional expressions ultimately point to defeat, which is enough to show that the author's discussion of the deep-seated "satire uprising" in Animal Farm also satirizes the Soviet class struggle implied by it to a certain extent and communist revolutionism.
