“How Swnish…! Yet…” – A Crtical Analysis of George Orwell’s Animal Farm EA Gamini Fonseka Although Eric Arthur Blaire, who became famous in his pseudonym “George Orwell,” published his Animal Farm in 1945, even at the end of the century it remains a source of great intellectual pleasure and political insight. Of course, it creates a pessimistic picture of politics, but Orwell’s powerful use of humour and satire prevents it from being a lamento. Therefore I consider it a model text for a reader of literature of any standard and present the following critical analysis of some central issues in this very special fairy tale. Orwell’s Treatment of the Animal Revolution The powerful political fable Animal Farm highlights the tragedy of a revolution that went wrong, but its plot has been constructed in an intrinsically witty manner.

Willy Loman and the Common Misconception of the “American Dream” Throughout Arthur Miller’s play, Death of a Salesman, Willy Loman chases after the popular “American Dream” of the 1900s-to be a successful businessman with the white picket fence around your house, modern technology (such as cars and refrigerators), and the satisfaction of being able to provide for your own family. Unfortunately, this chase causes the Loman family to fail in their jobs and eventually leads Willy to commit suicide. It is easy to blame Willy for his death by simply calling him crazy, however there are many different factors that added to Willy’s fragile state. Fred Ripkoff states that in order to understand the identity crisis of Loman (and other Miller characters), that “it is necessary to understand shame’s relationship to guilt and identity.” (1). Willy struggled with finding his identity because he was so caught up in his chase for his “American Dream”.
