Animal Farm is an allegorical novel written by George Orwell . It was published in 1945 in England. It portrayed many topics, but in this case we are going to focus in vocabulary and language used in this book. The way in which language can be manipulated as an instrument of power and control is amazing. Orwell tried to develop a novel in a satiric way so he used a different language and vocabulary and he developed his ideas through animal as characters. First of all, pigs had been studying so they learned human language better than others animals. It was a weapon against the rest of the animal because they were able to control and take the power of the farm. Besides, they learned to write so they decided to create some rules which were used in favor of pigs. If all animals had studied and learned human language, they would have controlled the farm at the same level of pigs. In this case, we have a clear example “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” This outrageous abuse of the word “equal” started to increase while the novel progresses.
